Take That have released a clip from their new single ‘The Flood’, the first since Robbie Williams re-joined the veteran pop band. Watch a report from ITN featuring footage of Robbie Williams and the boys and how they’ll be up against JLS when both release their new songs November 14th below.
The new complete Take That are reportedly bringing their other halves and children with them on tour. “The families have been consulted at every stage in negotiations so far, and the women are adamant they will be a part of this tour,” a source told The Mirror. “They won’t be at every venue but facilities – family dressing rooms, a [day care] and healthy backstage food and drink options – will be provided at each arena.”
Take That have announced Robbie Williams is rejoining the boy band 15 years after leaving them to embark on his successful solo career. Williams, Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen are expected to release a new album in November.
“Getting the five of us to be in a room together, although always a dream, never actually seemed like becoming a reality,” Owen said in a statement. “Now the reality of the five of us making a record together feels like a dream. It’s been an absolute delight spending time with Rob again.”
Williams added: “I get embarrassingly excited when the five of us are in a room. It feels like coming home.”

Take That have reportedly tapped Madonna’s favorite producer Stuart Price to handle the job on their upcoming album, which the veteran boyband want steered towards a disco and dance sound. “It’s a bold move by the lads to make the next album more interesting,” a source told The Sun. “They’ve played it safe in the past with mainstream producers. But this will take things up a notch. The plan is for Stuart to then work on the sound of their next live tour and bring the whole thing together.”
Take That have reportedly booked time at Electric Lady Studios in New York City, where they’ll be joined by the lone holdout of their reunion, Robbie Williams. “He is back with Take That in the studio and they’re all writing together again,” a source told mirror.co.uk. “Robbie wouldn’t be happy performing old Take That songs that he has had no part in. But if they can pen new tracks that they’re all happy with, they’ll record them and he’ll be back with them on stage.”
After a string of sold out shows in support of their fifth album ‘The Circus’, Take That have agreed to put out another new album. “The lads always thought ‘The Circus’ album would be a good way to bow out,” a source explained to The Sun. “The last thing they planned to release was the DVD of the show which is being filmed at Wembley this weekend. The bond between them is so strong at the moment that they decided they should keep the momentum going.”
Take That’s ‘The Circus Live: iTunes Pass’ is a digital package that gives fans behind-the-scenes access to the band, including live recordings, dedicated video footage, bonus material and interviews. The twelve instalments over six weeks are available for a one-time payment of £4.99. Watch a preview via YouTube below.
Robbie Williams checked in with fans on his official web site, robbiewilliams.com, revealing that reports he was planning on a return to Take That in an interview with a UK tabloid were “totally made up” and that the only thing he said to the lady he posed in a picture with who ended up being a tabloid writer who claimed to have the interview was “sure” in response to whether he’d pose for the image. “The boys have their thing going and so do I,” Robbie explained.
Alesha Dixon, Take That’s Gary Barlow, Girls Aloud’s Cheryl Cole and Kimberley Walsh, and their fellow Comic Relief climbers went to have tea with Gordon Brown, and Ben Shephard sings to the UK Prime Minister. The group had returned to the UK after conquering Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. Watch highlights from the visit in a report from ITN below.
Polydor has behind-the-scenes footage for the new Take That single ‘Up All Night’, off the veteran boy band’s fifth studio album ‘The Circus’. The Daniel Wolfe directed video features Take That performing at a street party. “This is the first time we’re actually playing instruments on a video,” Howard Donald explained. “We haven’t done a video where it’s the four of us playing as a band. So yeah, it’s different for that reason and enjoyable for that reason.” Watch the video below.
