Take That are happy as a four-piece

  • January 20, 2011
  • Brad O'Mance

You know how Take That were a thing, and then Robbie left, and shortly after­wards they stopped being a thing, and then they came back and were a thing again, except without Robbie, and then Robbie came back too and EVERYTHING WAS LOVELY?

"Although we're back with Rob right now, we still see our future as a four-piece band," Gary Barlow has said on Radio 2.

"We didn't think we could do it as a four, that's the reason we split [in 1996]. So when we got back together in 2005 we said, 'Can we do it as a four-piece?', and then we came back and we did it."

An official spokesman for the band said "Take That and Robbie Williams have always said they are taking things one step at a time", which is not ominous in any way.
