Back For Good?

After Sunday's dubious comeback performance, Take That have announced Robbie Williams will be joining them, live, and in person at their upcoming Manchester gig, and possibly for more shows. The no-doubt relieved Gary Barlow said "I don't know which dates but he has told Mark Owen he is definitely coming back." And, if that's not enough for you nostalgic ninnies out there, they are apparently working on new material, planning to release an album, and as Gary claims, 'another Christmas No. 1 would be perfect." Perfect stocking tat for the kids, doncha think? (Ahem, as long as it's under a tenner, that is. All these bands reforming and releasing 'comeback' albums is proving to be a rather expensive hobby.)[Katherine Hannaford]
