Robbie Williams will not rejoin Take That because he wants to focus on his own solo career, according to reports.

The singer was linked once again to his former group earlier this month after he wrote on his official website that he would “love” to rejoin the band.

He has also publicly reignited his friendship with singer Gary Barlow.

However, Williams is now reported to have told his father, Pete, that he is too busy with his own solo material to return to Take That

"Robbie told his dad Pete that he'll be pushing himself back in the limelight - talk of a reunion couldn't be further from the truth,” a source told the Sunday People.

"He might have buried the hatchet with Gary Barlow but the only person Robbie is concerned about selling records next year is himself."

Williams' departure from Take That in 1995 triggered the boy band's initial demise but since reforming without the singer they have enjoyed a hugely successful re-birth.

Williams is currently recording his new studio album which, according to his manager, will be released in 2009.


Pure Robbie

[pinkmichk]

thank christ for that although knew he wouldnt do it

[Scarlett.]

We predict the comeback of the year for 2009 will be without doubt the one, the only Mr Robbie Williams.

And the man we have to thank for his highly anticipated return to the UK pop charts is Knight of the Realm Sir Tom Jones.

Robbie was planning to disappear into the ether forever, until the big Welshman had a heart-to-heart.

The Sexbomb took on the role of mentor to Robbie after he moved onto the same exclusive estate in Los Angeles.

And to help give him a shove in the right direction Tom even recorded a single with Rob for his new album.

Tom, who made a comeback of his own this year with 24 Hours, told us: "I give advice to some of the young bands if they ask me.

"With Robbie he asked me 'How do you keep going?

I’m starting to wonder about it whether its for me.'

"It's because I love it I told him. But Robbie says sometimes he doesn’t.

"Sometimes he gets a bit down and said once 'sometimes I don’t feel like I’m any good'.

"I told him to just enjoy it, don’t worry about it and stop taking it so seriously.
"You can't be on everynight. Sometimes you don’t get into it as much as you do other nights.

"But if you don’t enjoy it, you're going to struggle and it's like hard work, so don’t do it. "The only time it has ever felt like work for me was when I used to do two shows a day in Las Vegas and I couldn’t drink alcohol.

"I thought Christ this isn’t much fun. "Now I do it at my own pace."

Tom's motivational boost seems to have worked wonders as Robbie is heading to the studio to put the finishing touches to his album at the end of the month.

The former Take That star already has a few tunes up his sleeve - including a rap with Tom.

Tom said: "I live just down the road from him so he said do you fancy coming over and recording some stuff with me.

"He’s got a portable recording studio in his bedroom so that's where we did it.

"He was writing with some English mates of his.

"We did a song, he was rapping on it and I was singing on the chorus but I don’t know what he wants to do with it."

Hmm we'll have to reserve judgement on that one until we hear it!

[Scarlett.]

Apparently 'Close my eyes' changed its name to the Rudebox singles name now

[pinkmichk]

although name change is a tad odd

[Scarlett.]

Strange......'Close my eyes' is listed as a different song.... is Rob releasing a new Rudebox single?

[pinkmichk]

how very odd surely we have had all the rudebox singles now unless its cos people are listening to the original that the dance track came from

[Scarlett.]

Maybe...or maybe it will be sold as We're the Pet shop boys' with 'Close my eyes' as an extra track?

[pinkmichk]

[Scarlett.]

Aye

Rapper 50 CENT is planning to team up with British singer ROBBIE WILLIAMS on a new record.

The In Da Club star was hoping to hook up with Angels hitmaker Williams to record a track for his 2007 album Curtis.

Williams' stint in rehab hindered their plans - but 50 Cent hopes they will be able to sort out some recording time together in the near future.

He tells Reuters, "We actually attempted to do it during the Curtis album and I reached out to him and we talked about recording in Los Angeles and then the next time I spoke to him he was on his way to rehab so that didn't happen then.

“Hopefully on one of my projects in the future we will have a chance to work with each other.”

Mark Ronson has confirmed that he is to produce tracks on Robbie Williams' new album.

Ronson told BBC 6 Music that the pair will travel to Los Angeles this spring to complete work on a song originally penned for the singer's last album.

“He was always fascinated with it so it’s not really a new thing. I am planning to go out to LA so we can finish it together,” he said.

Williams' collaboration with Ronson was originally revealed by his manager last month.

Tim Clark said the singer had recorded a “very interesting song” with the producer, who was responsible for Amy Winehouse's 2006 album 'Back To Black'.

Williams, who is due to enter the studio in March or April, has also written tracks with former songwriter partner Guy Chambers and Soul Mekanik.

The former Take That star's new album, which is due out before the end of 2009, will be his last with EMI.
