Robbie Williams has publicly declared that he would 'love' to rejoin his former bandmates in Take That.
Williams left the pop group in 1995 to go solo, and chose not to take part in their reunion in 2006 - but has now fuelled rumours that he is to rejoin the band after writing a lengthy statement on his official website.
It read:
"Just thought I'd set a few things straight about me and the boys. We got together a lot over the summer. It was amazing. We've all matured a lot since we parted. I'm very pleased to say the differences we've had have just melted away. We had a lot of serious chats. Everything we had problems with each other about just boils down to one thing - victims of circumstance. No one was right, no one was wrong, it just 'was'.
We mainly laughed, which is what we used to do in the early days. In fact we didn't really stop. Bellyache laughs - I've missed 'em. Bellyache laughs and the boys. After they left I felt like a ton of bricks had been removed from my shoulders. We'd put right what an awful lot of other broken bands fail to do... The thing that struck me the most was how much fun they're having. It's more rewarding when you're a gang. Ever since I left Take That I've wanted to be in a band."
He continued: "I'm really proud. I love the new album too - haven't stopped listening to it. I'd love to be in the band again but I've got some unfinished business of my own."
Williams, who has been based in Los Angeles for the past few years, has also reportedly bought a new house in Wiltshire and intends on returning to the UK for good.
