I'm so glad.

[MrGaryy]

So is this now the official Take That thread? seeing as Laura's changed her.

[Callum]

They do look really happy together, but on GMTV today the showbiz reporter said that it's probably only going to be temporary and it will pave the way for them all to go and do their own stuff.

[pinkmichk]

warming to this although obviously need to hear the music but they all look great esp rob how is it possible to love the man even more than i already do and they all look happy which is a really good thing

[Scarlett.]

This one is the official one for the five piece band (as I know Laura doesnt want to report on it all)

[Scarlett.]

ROBBIE WILLIAMS is at the centre of a multi-million pound record label bidding war after he confirmed he is rejoining TAKE THAT.

The band will release an album together and are set to rake in £75million with a 54-date stadium tour next summer.

But Robbie's record-breaking contract with EMI - signed for a reported £80million in 2002 - is up in October.

And industry insiders say he could make even MORE on a new deal then.

Multi-national record labels including Universal and Sony have begun negotiations with Robbie's management.

An industry source said: "Signing Robbie Williams is the holy grail for labels at the moment.

"He's already struck the biggest record deal in history, so whatever he is offered will have to compare favourably to that.

"He could be the first British artist to ever land a £100million deal."

Robbie, 36, will release an as-yet untitled album with GARY BARLOW, 39, MARK OWEN, 38, HOWARD DONALD, 42 and JASON ORANGE, 40. It is due to rack up the highest number of pre-orders in history.

The band yesterday ruled out playing arenas on their tour - because they're not BIG enough.

Venues like London's O2 and Birmingham's LG Arena have a 20,000 capacity - but Take That need something like Wembley Stadium, which can pack in 100,000, to accommodate all their fans.

An expert said: "They'd have no trouble selling out five nights at

Wembley. To play to an equivalent number they'd have to do 21 nights at the O2."

Other venues on their comeback tour could include Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, Murrayfield in Edinburgh and the Stadium Of Light in Sunderland.

TT just got 500x better.

[MrGaryy]

Everywhere keeps saying 'one year to start with'. I imagine after the year is up Robbie will stay on, he's always saying how much he misses it and how jealous he is of the other lads, I can't see him walking away from that again. Either that or the band will just totally break up and they'll all go do their own things.

[Iceman]

^^ I agree its a year to start with, he wont be going anywhere!

[Scarlett.]

They could possibly do it like TT album > Solo albums > TT album?

[MrGaryy]

They're getting on a bit though. Realistically these guys have go chance at success as solo artists anymore, not even Robbie. His last album was a very moderate success and his few performances were basically laughed at by the majority. The others' past solo experiences have proven to be even bigger failures. Take That is there only chance at success as performers, though no doubt Gary could easily do very well as a songwriter for others.

[Princess]

This is quite incredible. 'Between them they have sold more than 80million albums, played to more than 14.5million people live, won 19 Brit Awards and had 13 No1 albums, 17 No1 singles, eight MTV awards and five Ivor Novello awards'

Robbie Williams has only been back in Take That for mere minutes, but already offers are flooding in for the five-piece – reports state the boyband are in negotiations to headline Glastonbury next year, and they’ve been approached to perform at the opening ceremony in 2012 Olympics.

Take That are planning a stadium tour for next summer and are apparently keen to make space in their schedule for the Glastonbury festival. “There's a lot of logistics to sort out but both sides are desperate to make this happen,” a source told the News of the World.

Early negotiations are for U2 to headline the Friday night, after pulling out of this year’s festival when Bono injured his back, then Take That on Saturday and Radiohead on Sunday.

The guys have also been approached to perform at the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games in east London. “At present, Robbie is only on board for a year, but that's to reduce the pressure on the group. The belief is that this will be a permanent move and he will therefore be available for 2012,” a source explained.

“It is a huge honour for the boys and will see them playing to a phenomenally big audience. Everyone is confident they are up to the challenge.” Paul McCartney, the Spice Girls and The Rolling Stones are also being lined up to perform at the opening ceremony, according to reports.
