First there were five. Then there were four. Then there was none for a long time. Then there were 4 again, then five again, then four again, and then they were down to three. Well, now it looks like they could be back to five again if the rumours are to be believed.
According to a source speaking via The Mirror, there are rumblings Robbie Williams and the band's most recent departee - Jason Orange - will rejoin the manband for a reunion in 2017: "They are going to celebrate their 25th anniversary for sure and it would be great to have Robbie and Jason back. It’s a big deal to mark the occasion and not one many bands get to do.”
Jason is said to have quit the music industry lock stock, but it's thought that Robbie's involvement may lure him back. So, it's a bit like The Spice Girls reunion, only one we're looking forward to.
If you're looking for a more indepth potted history than the one outlined in our first paragraph, here it is via Heatworld.com: "The band originally split in 1996, then reformed sans Robbie in 2005. He came back in 2010, then officially left again to have his second child in 2014. If the guys do come back together in 2017 it’ll have been a whopping FIVE YEARS since we saw all their handsome faces perform together."
MAKE IT HAPPEN. IT'S CHRISTMAS.
