Robbie Williams to rejoin Take That at F1 Rocks?
Take That’s secret writing session with Robbie Williams went so well they extended it for a second day.
The boys had planned to get together in a studio for just a few hours but they clicked – and couldn’t wait to get back to work.
A pal revealed: “It’s been 14 years since all five have been together for an extended time and they were having a blast. It went so well they all agreed to meet for a second session. It’s a bit of a boys’ adventure.”
Robbie met his former bandmates at the Electric Lady Studios in ’s on Saturday and spent seven hours together.
Then it was back the following day for another extending writing session.
The boys are tipped for a one-off reunion at next month’s Children In Need concert at the Albert Hall.
The pal went on: “Robbie has told them he doesn’t want to perform Take That songs he wasn’t involved in so they’re writing new stuff

Robbie Williams works on new songs with Take That in secret studio reunion - exclusive
The boys had arranged to meet in New York for Mark Owen’s stag do. But they also made a hush-hush booking of the city’s Electric Lady Studios, built for Jimi Hendrix, to thrash out new material to perform together.
It is the first time all five have been working together as a group since Robbie left to pursue a solo career in 1995. A source said: “He is back with Take That in the studio and they’re all writing together again. Robbie wouldn’t be happy performing old Take That songs that he has had no part in. “But if they can pen new tracks that they’re all happy with, they’ll record them and he’ll be back with them on stage.”
Robbie flew from Los Angeles to New York with his girlfriend, American actress Ayda Field, on Wednesday. That night he joined Mark, Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Jason Orange for dinner.
They got on brilliantly during the boozy get-together over steak and chips at private members’ club Soho House. Mark, who will marry his long-term girlfriend Emma Ferguson this winter, was thrilled to see Robbie – hugging him and saying: “I can’t believe you’re here.” On Saturday they joined forces again as a band – ending 14 years of separation.
Robbie, 35, was spotted arriving at the studio, in Manhattan’s West Village, at 2.30pm. The other four left together, with a bodyguard at 9.20pm
The band are in the studio putting the final touches to a forthcoming live double album – but are expected to write new songs with Robbie.
The source revealed: “The lads really did want to celebrate Mark’s stag do.
But they thought it was the best place to hook up and start writing again without attracting too much attention.
They are nowhere near recording anything. This was a writing session to see how they go.
Rumours of a reunion have been circulating for months, with Robbie making it clear he would like to join the band back on stage. He has a comeback single, Bodies, and will play his first UK gig in three years at the Roundhouse, North London, next month. But he has said he can’t wait to be part of the band again. He told the Mirror the five might be back as one for a special appearance at next month’s Children In Need charity event at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
Robbie said: “Something will definitely happen. Me and Gary have been hanging out a lot lately, talking things over.” And he told Radio 1’s Chris Moyles: “I thought I’ll just hold off and get my album out and then go and play with my mates.”
The massive U-turn followed years of bitter public spats during which the five saw their fortunes rise and fall.*
Gary had initial success but was eventually dropped by his record label. Robbie went on to make eight No1 albums. But his luck began to change and in October 2006 Rudebox, his 10th album overall, had a cool reception. The other four re-formed Take That in 2005 and met with extraordinary success.
Sales of their album Beautiful World overtook Rudebox. And the four-man Take That have gone on to sell more than six million albums. Last year Robbie revealed they had all spent time together in the summer. He said: “The differences we’ve had have just melted away.”
In March, Robbie began recording the album Reality Killed the Video at the same West London studios where Gary Barlow was working.* Producer Trevor Horn said they got on “brilliantly well”.

Robbie Williams to rejoin Take That at F1 Rocks?
Songwriter Gary Barlow had arranged the stag do in New York on Wednesday, but he hadn’t told Mark, Jason Orange and Howard Donald who else had been invited.
So they were all stunned and delighted when Robbie strolled through the doors of the chic SoHo House restaurant.
Thrilled Mark, who is due to marry long-term girlfriend Emma Ferguson in a top-secret ceremony this winter, hugged Robbie and kept saying: “I can’t believe you’re here.”
It was the first time all five have been in the same room for three years. And their boozy get-together will heighten expectations that Robbie is poised to make a one-off stage appearance with Take That. And we hear the five also discussed offers of appearing at the next F1 Rocks gig.
Our spy at the restaurant confirms: “The lads were all sitting there chatting and Gary kept looking nervously at the door.
“Suddenly in walked Robbie Williams. Mark jumped out of his chair and gave him a big hug. He had the cheesiest grin on his face.
“All the lads looked happy to see Robbie. It looked exactly like what it was – old friends getting back together. They spent a couple of hours chatting. They were all well-behaved, not rowdy, although Mark seemed a bit the worse for wear by the end.”
Robbie is even expected to be guest of honour at Mark’s big day.
Now that really Could be Magic...

Gary’s ma loves the Cold
He revealed: "My mum was blown away by Coldplay. She thought we were brilliant but that they were better - and wasn't afraid to tell me.
"So I'll have to up the ante for the next tour."
Gary was at the launch of DAME SHIRLEY BASSEY's new album, The Performance, at the Ritz hotel in London. Not only has he penned a track for her disc, he also has his eye on teaming up with London rapper DIZZEE RASCAL. He said: "I want to work with him but he's not interested - he told me he wants Shirley.
"Can you imagine the two of them? It would be incredible. They should do something."
Veteran singer Shirley isn't aware of Dizzee's work but they are each on the bill for the BBC Electric Proms next month. And Gary wants them to collaborate there.
Shirley said: "I'm excited about meeting Dizzee. Everyone is on about him."
Surely the lyric's got to be: The minute Dizzee walked in the joint.

“Take That fans will hate me” says Dame Shirley Bassey
The 72-year-old said: “Women will attack me! I’ll probably get these young girls giving me grief.” Shirley continued: “Gary is so good-looking and such a gentleman.
“Take That are great. I mean, really great. I didn’t realise how great their songs were until I saw them in the summer. Gary’s work is exceptional. When Gary and I met for the first time we were both shaking. I starting talking but I got a bit stuck. I did then explain I was nervous but he then said that he was more nervous. Then we had a big argument about who was the more nervous. It was funny! He then sung to me. My own special performance in my home, can you believe it? I can’t believe I’ve got all these amazing people, who I can now call my friends, wanting to work for me!”
Big compliment for the boys. Dame Shirley has sold more than 135 million record to date, and is considered one of the greatest artists of all time.
Bassey’s album “The Performance” will be released on November 9.

TT-itanic for Robbie

Rival albums ... Take That and Robbie are heading for a Christmas charts battle
Rob drops his collection Reality Killed The Video Star on November 9, then GARY BARLOW's gang issue live CD The Greatest Day just three weeks later.
The two discs could end up battling it out for the Christmas No1 slot.
Take That's new DVD, The Circus Live, filmed at their triumphant Wembley shows this summer and also featuring a special intimate set recorded at Abbey Road, is another likely festive bestseller after it hits shops on November 23.
Last year their Beautiful World Live was the fastest- selling music DVD in UK chart history, shifting 64,000 in its first seven days. It even outsold that week's No1 album, AMY WINEHOUSE's superhit Back To Black.

Alesha Dixon's new single: it has every chance of being above average
As should have become clear over the last decade Alesha Dixon is amazing. This is solid gold pop fact.
The song is called 'To Love Again' (which sounds strong 'n' empowering for the ladies does it not), it's out as a single on November 15, it's being chucked onto a re-released version of 'The Alesha Show' (subtitled 'The Encore') which is out the following week, and it's potentially quite good but we haven't heard it yet so we'll report back in due course.

They are up against The Prodigy, Coldplay, U2. Oasis, Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys and Blur. So it's stiff competition!
