They don't need him.
They are fab as they are.

No I'm annoyed as well.

He doesnt deserve to rejoin the band.

compo · 28/03/2009 14:07

the papers say they will all earn 25 million for live shows, but the other 4 have done the hard work for him
they wrote all the new stuff, why should he get paid to sing a bit of Patience etc, grr, rant over!

I didn't know he had - is that recently?

I thought they split very acrimoniously.

I agree with you, I think the remaining Take That members are fine as they are and also that Robbie (fabulously talented too) is fine as a solo artist

Interested in this thread?

I'm slightly confused as to why they'd want that self-important twunt back anyway. He's washed up and had his day. He only wants back in because he has no career to speak of any more and Take That have done so well with their come back. Do they actually want him?

I didn't realise he'd actually rejoined. I heard that he'd said he would if they asked him.

I think it might just be for the live shows in the summer, but that is how they make all the money (not that any of them need it!)

did you see that programme a few years ago when they tried to get the band to meet up? All the others turned up but Robbie sent a video message and was really snyde about the rest of them - especially Gary.He just couldn't help himself
He came across as a real twat - although he did have one honest moment when he said that Gary had a happy loving family life and that he ( Robbie) was jealous of that.
It was a really good programme.

I just think Robbie is one of those tragic characters that needs to be famous and looses any personal happiness because of that drive.
If he does join then without breaking down/pulling out at the last moment then it will end in tears

I remember that program Pag and agree with your psycho...do dah.

compo · 28/03/2009 14:21

ooh me too
I also read Gary Barlow's autobiog and it was fab

They should show it again. I thought it was really interesting - especially how they all coped differently with the break up.

compo · 28/03/2009 14:24

yes that Nigel what'shisface really screwed some of them up!

I went off Gary after reading his autobiography. Both he and Robbie seemed to be absolutely desperate for fame and money.

mrsmaidamess · 28/03/2009 14:27

I don't believe it. Robbie knows he's washed up and it would seem he was losing face to rejoin a band now more liked than him.

I love Jason Orange, btw.

fanniiminogue · 28/03/2009 22:36

ive missed this in the papers, just looked at the link. cant believe it!!!! what are they thnking!

faeriefruitcake · 29/03/2009 18:31

I'm still in shock they reformed such a sad day. At least Rage against the Machine are coming back too!

Now who is Robbie Williams?

Marthasmama · 29/03/2009 18:41

Oooo, are they? Well most of them are at a loose end now that Audioslave are no more & Chris Cornell has decided to do a hideous RnB album. What was he thinking?

shhhh · 06/04/2009 22:14

is it defo he is rejoining..?

TBH, I will be seriously fecked off...I can't stand him and when tt reformed I soooooooooooooooooooooo hoped he wouldn't join them on stage unlike some other fans at the time...

He left them in the shit, has bad mouthed them to the hilt and doesn't deserve to ride their wave.

Hope it isn't true...

also, bit of false advertising/sale don't you think..? We buy tickets for 4 guys performing, only for it to be amended to inc an extra one...iir when robbie left originally and geri left the sg's weren'r refunds offered as it was the show as promised iykimw...surely this is similar..?
