He has just announced the release of his new solo album, but Robbie Williams already has his sights set on rejoining his former band.

Williams has said that he will re-join Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald in Take That at some point in the future - but NOT for their 25th anniversary next year, as some reports had suggested.

Next year marks 25 years since their debut album 'Take That and Party' was released, but he told The Sun: “When is the 25th anniversary? Next year? 2017? I don’t know if I can. I have plans, I have a tour, there’s stuff to be doing.

“I don’t think it’ll be next year but I think it’ll be at some point.”

He added: "We’ll wait and see when our paths collide but I don’t think it’s going to be next year. I’m really proud of what we do and what we create when I’m in the band. I’m a floating member.”

Last December it was reported that Take That were due to take up a residency in Las Vegas next summer - although since Gary Barlow confirmed that news, details have been scant.
