Robbie hints at Take That reunion

Robbie Williams has admitted that he would like to team up with his former band Take That again.

The singer praised the four-piece's new album on his Inner Sanctum blog and wrote that he would like perform with them in the future.

He added: "I'm really, 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."

His comments come after frontman Gary Barlow recently told Newsbeat that the band were all in contact again and that they would one day reunite.

Earlier this month, Mark Owen also said any potential reunion with Williams would be an "unannounced thing".

Of the band's meeting in the summer, Williams wrote: "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. 

"We got together quite 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.

"I celebrated by getting the Take That symbol tattooed on my right arm. I'm proud to know the boys and I'm proud to have been in the band."

The four-piece's new album The Circus is the fastest-selling LP of the year so far.

The band also sold around 600,000 tickets for their 2009 summer tour in under five hours, breaking the record set by Michael Jackson's Bad tour in 1987.

Williams left the band a month before their last British concert at London's Earls Court on Aug 31, 1995 to launch a successful solo career.

Just a hint?  Damn it Robbie.  Either re-join the group or don't, just stop bitching about it ;D

Take That are great with or without Robbie because when you think about it, he was really just a background singer.  Barlow's voice really overpowered everyone else

I never liked Robbie anyway. I also think it's a little too late. People like the idea of the current four-some.

Yep.  At this point, people would just think Robbie's re-joining the group because HE needs them now more than ever lol

Take That.

I wanna say they sang the 1995 song Back For Good, but it's been so long I don't remember...

I might be thinking of Blessid Union of Souls.

I remember the song very well, just not the band.

Well, your memory can't be that bad, because they did!

If you're American, there's a good reason...this was their only US hit of any note!
