Gary ha confermato che i Take That sono ritornati ancora una volta un quartetto, dicendo che il periodo del gruppo con Robbie ha avuto fine "perfettamente".
Non ci sono attriti, decisione comune e che era nell' aria dal momento in cui Robbie ha annunciato l'uscita del suo nuovo lavoro da solista.
Loro lo sapevano sin da prima che iniziasse il Progress Tour.
In ogni modo potranno tornare in 5 quando vorranno.
"Se Robbie vuole avere un anno fuori dalla band essendo solo 'Robbie Williams' lui è il benvenuto ogni volta che desidera." queste sono parole di Gary.
Al momento il gruppo è solo in un momento di pausa che vede Gary Barlow alle prese con X- Factor e Robbie Williams lavorare sul suo nuovo album.
Robbie è felice, Gaz è felice ( riguardo al suo ruolo di giudice a X-Factor ha infatti dichiarato: “I bloody love it. I’m so emotionally involved already, far more than I should be. It’s brilliant.” ) quindi ...
Io sono felice per loro!; ) Ma dopo averli assaporati di nuovo per un anno nella formazione originale e aver provato delle emozioni fortissime e indimenticabili sia riascoltandoli in 5 che assistendo ai loro concerti posso dire che mi mancheranno veramente
tanto.
Ecco il comunicato stampa diffuso tra i media:
Gary Barlow has confirmed that Take That are a four-piece again, saying the group's time with Robbie Williams has ended "perfectly".
The 40-year-old X Factor judge told the Radio Times that Robbie was no longer in the band. "It was beautiful. We got on well. We finished the tour. We're all happy," he said.
"The fans have come along and been happy. Great, great, great, great, great. Now Rob's doing a solo record, and from this point it's back to where it was."
He said Take That's revival as a five-man band "ended perfectly", adding: "You know what, we can revisit it whenever we want.
"He's our brother, Rob is, and if he's ever in trouble or he wants to have a year off being Robbie Williams, he's welcome any time he wants."
The chart-toppers announced in 2010 that they would be performing their first tour as a complete group, Progress Live 2011, for 16 years.
Gary said of the pair's previous fall-outs: "It would be unfair for me to say he's the one with the ego because I've got a pretty big ego as well.
"And especially in those younger days when I was 24 and he was 20, but then you come back - I was 38 and he was 34 - and it's like 'Let's talk this through'."
A Take That spokesman said Barlow had made a similar comment earlier in the year, and insisted the current line-up of the group was simply on "a break".
"I can confirm that the band are not splitting and there is no pending announcement of a split," he said. "The band are on a break, Gary is doing X Factor and Robbie is working on his new solo album."
