Teenage girls screamed to hit after hit including Back For Good, Pray and A Million Love Songs.
The band had eight number one hits and sold 10 million albums during the 1990s.
But tensions began to show between Barlow, seen as the serious songwriter of the group, and Williams.
Williams walked out in 1995.
The band broke up in February 1996 and fans were so distraught that the Samaritans set up a special helpline.
They reformed a decade later without Williams, after appearing in a tell-all ITV documentary watched by nearly six million viewers.
Barlow confirmed the news with the words: "Thank you very much for giving us the last 10 years off, but unfortunately the rumours are true - Take That are going back on tour."
Take That's comeback anthem Patience went straight to number one and won a Brit Award for best British single.
The band have continued their success and saw their 2009 stadium tour The Circus - Live smashing UK box office records.
Asked about the possibility of rejoining Take That, Williams told GQ previously: "It will happen. But not in the next 18 months, two years.
"There's contracts to fulfil. And then I can do what I want."
Williams has also spoken of a "healing" chat he had with Take That in 2008 while the band were mixing The Circus in Los Angeles.
For his part, Barlow has said it was "inevitable" that Williams would perform with the group again.
Williams was reunited with the band by sharing a stage during a Children In Need concert last year.
The singer has already revealed he is releasing a single, Shame, with Barlow, the first time they have recorded together for 15 years.
