Robbie will be back on stage with Take That next year

-

HE joined his old bandmates Mark Owen, Howard Donald and Gary Barlow for a performanc­e on The X Factor at the weekend. Now Robbie Williams has confirmed that he will be joining Take That on stage next year as part of their 30th anniversar­y reunion tour, which takes in Dublin’s 3Arena.

The Rock DJ singer, 44, pictured below, also hinted that departed fifth original member Jason Orange could possibly make an appearance too.

Speaking at the gala night of their new musical The Band in London on Tuesday, Robbie said he wanted to join Take That on stage next year.

Asked whether they would be joining forces for the upcoming 30th anniversar­y reunion, he said: ‘As long as we stay healthy, I’m sure there’ll be another moment where we all get together.

‘Maybe we can coax Jason back, who knows? We shall have to see,’ teased the showman.

While Take That embark on their 2019 tour, Robbie has his own solo tour to focus on, but insisted there would be plenty of opportunit­ies for them to reunite on stage. ‘Next year when the boys are on tour, I’m on tour too. If we’re in the same place at the same time, there’s an open mic at my gig,’ asserted Robbie.

‘There’s only one, so send Gaz,’ joked the Angels singer to Mark Owen, before adding: ‘I’m sure there’s an open mic at theirs too.’

Fresh from The X Factor final, Robbie had gushed to MailOnline that singing with Take That again had ‘felt like home’, while Gary joked his pal was back to his old habits of ‘stealing the show’.

Take That have treated fans to on/off reunions with Robbie over the years, since the Let Me Entertain You singer left the band in 1995, so Dublin fans will be hoping next year’s 3Arena concert will be a historic one.
