Robbie Williams rejoins Take That for album and massive tour

SUPERSTAR ROBBIE WILLIAMS told last night of his joy at rejoining TAKE THAT - saying: "It feels like coming home."

The pop sensations finally confirmed they are a five-piece again and revealed they are recording a new album as well as planning a huge stadium tour.

Working together again is expected to earn Take That a massive £15million EACH.

Robbie, 36, devastated the band by quitting in 1995.

But now the bitterness is history and thrilled Robbie admitted yesterday: "I get embarrassingly excited when the five of us are in a room."

The album, due out in November, will be the first by Robbie, GARY BARLOW, 39, MARK OWEN, 38, HOWARD DONALD, 42, and JASON ORANGE, 40, since their 1995 No1 Nobody Else.

And The Sun can reveal the band will reach out to a world record THREE MILLION people on their epic 54-date stadium tour next summer.

We told on Monday how they were planning a big announcement about new material this week. And yesterday's official album confirmation sent an army of fans into meltdown.

Take That and promoters SJM, run by the band's close pal Simon Moran, have developed an ambitious tour masterplan, involving the biggest stadiums in the country.

They will play a string of nights in each venue, including Wembley, the City Of Manchester Stadium, Murrayfield and the Millennium Stadium.

There are no plans beyond this tour and album.

Take That's last tour, The Circus Live, sold out in minutes - and despite adding extra dates, some fans still could not get a ticket.

A source said: "Robbie has some commitments with Live Nation and a couple of appearances with Gary for the new single lined up.

"But after that, Take That's creative tour team will be working on the biggest show they have ever put on.

"Kim Gavin, who has worked with Take That on all their spectacular tours, is already briefed and ready to start coming up with amazing ideas."

The first batch of six songs from the new, as-yet untitled album, were recorded last September in New York. The boys used the cover of Mark's stag do as an excuse for secret studio sessions.

Last night a music industry expert explained how reformed Take That are set for a mega payday.

The band will trouser £5million each from record sales, royalties, TV rights and endorsements - plus another £10million from their tour.

He said: "One sold-out stadium will gross £2million for the band. Costs will swallow £1million per show, but after fifty dates the lads will be left with at least £50million."

Take That and Robbie have an incredible track record.

Between them they have sold more than 80million albums, played to more than 14.5million people live, won 19 Brit Awards and had 13 No1 albums, 17 No1 singles, eight MTV awards and five Ivor Novello awards.

The new album comes 20 years since they first sang live on the TV show The Hitman & Her in 1990.
