Can't believe I didn't see anything about this. 
Despite a rumoured falling out with his former bandmates, singer Robbie Williams says he's ready to rejoin British pop group Take That.
In an interview with the Daily Mirror, the 35-year-old singer says a reunion with his former mates could be forthcoming.
"I'm in regular contact with them, and it's looking more likely by the week. The lads all seem up for it. I think it would be fun," he said.
Recruited by music manager Nigel Martin-Smith in Manchester in 1990, the chart-topping British boy band's original roster featured singer-songwriter Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange, Mark Owen and Williams.
Known for their dance-pop tunes and romantic ballads, including the blockbuster track Back for Good, Take That dominated the British music scene in the first half of the 1990s. They sold about 19 million records before Williams decided to leave the group for a solo career in mid-1995. The remaining four subsequently broke up in early 1996.
However, after releasing a Take That hits compilation album in 2005 to relative success, Barlow, Donald, Orange, and Owen staged a proper comeback a year later — sans Williams. They delivered a well-received tour and a new album, Beautiful World, which spawned hits singles like Shine and Patience and won a number of awards. In 2008, the reunited quartet released another new album, The Circus, and are set to tour the U.K. once again this summer.
After Take That originally disbanded, Williams became the most successful with his solo career. However, he has since struggled with his most recent album, Rudebox.
"Let's see what happens, but my head's in the right place," Williams told the Mirror of the possible reunion. "The timing could be right if Gary calls. I think it would be fun. It would be good."
