Robbie Williams rejoins Take That... but just for one night

Robbie Williams will rejoin Take That on stage next week - 14 years after he quit the band.

The singer will perform with his former bandmates for Children in Need at the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday.
Take That and Robbie are expected to top the bill for the one-off gig, which will also features perfomance by Snow Patrol, Lily Allen, Dizzee Rascal, Leona Lewis, Muse and Sir Paul McCartney.
A source said: 'It's the gig where Robbie finally gets back with Take That. They're mates again and doing it for charity seems like the best way.'
But fans will be desperate to blag a ticket for the sold-out show for their first performance together in more than a decade.

The 35-year-old walked out of Take That at the height of their fame in 1995 after a rift with lead singer Gary Barlow. The group went on to release another single without him but split the following year.
But their comeback as a foursome in 2006 has given the band even greater success.

There have been rumours that Robbie plans to permanently rejoin the band, since ending the feud with Gary in recent years and calling him 'my new best friend'.
Also adding fuel to the fire were reports that Mark Owen, 37, Gary Barlow, 38, Howard Donald, 41, and Jason Orange, 39, were spotted entering a New York recording studio at the same time as Robbie.

He recently had a Take That symbol tattooed on his right wrist.

The source told the Daily Star: 'Everyone fears Rob will change his mind. But he feels it's the right time.'
Take That are expected to perform several of their recent hits such as Rule The World and Patience, with Robbie joining them to sing Could It Be Magic, on which he sang lead vocals, and several of their older songs.

Last night Robbie, appearing on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, said that performing live had driven him to rehab in the past.
'I've always been very nervous [performing for] 80,000 people, it's an unnatural thing to do,' he said. 'You don't know what's going on in my head. It's traumatic, really scary.

I ended up in rehab again. It was, 'What are you doing to yourself?' I thought it was time to break the cycle.

'I've taken the pressure off myself, it's a part-time gig these days. The missus keeps me grounded. There's no need to take myself out of my mind any more.'

He also talked of plans to have children with girlfriend Ayda Fields.
