Robbie Williams could rejoin boy band

A full reunion of Take That could be a possibility following hints Robbie Williams would consider rejoining the band.

The star’s mother, Jan Williams, has told her local paper the Stoke Sentinel that she believed her son could get involved in the group again.

"On the question of him doing something with them, I feel that will happen,” she declared. “It would be something he wanted to do."

Williams quit Take That in 1995, with the group originally confirming a full split a year later.

However the band’s other members – Howard Donald, Mark Owen, Gary Barlow and Jason Orange – successfully revived the group last year with a series of sell-out reunion shows and have since topped the album and singles charts with their comeback material.

In contrast, Williams fortunes have faded somewhat, with recent -and more experimental - album ’Rudebox’ being panned by critics, while the singer has also recently been in rehab.

However his mother insisted the singer was on the mend.

"He's okay, he's fine, he's on a good recovery," she explained. "He's doing a lot of writing, he spends a lot of time in his studio. He's in a very good place."
