Mark Owen stepped out today looking happier than ever following the announcement that Robbie Williams would be rejoining former band Take That.
The 38-year-old singer, who wore a summery blue striped cardigan with jeans and boots, looked excited as he waved to fans in Clapham, south London.
Last night, Robbie confirmed he would be making Take That a quintet once again as he rejoins the group for a £50million album and tour next summer.

Los rumores son ciertos ...
Take That: la banda integrante original
ha escrito y grabado un nuevo álbum
para finales de este año.
Después de meses de especulaciones, Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange, Mark Owen y Robbie Williams han confirmado hoy de que han estado grabando un nuevo álbum de estudio como cinco piezas, que se lanzará en noviembre de este año. Es la primera vez que ellos han grabado un álbum juntos desde el lanzamiento de su álbum número 1 en ventas, "Nobody Else" en 1995.
"Estar nosotros cinco en una sala todos juntos, fue siempre un sueño que nunca, parecia convertirse en una realidad. Ahora la realidad de nosotros cinco haciendo un disco juntos se siente como un sueño. Ha sido un tiempo realmente de deleite el haber pasado tiempo con Rob nuevamente. Pero sigo siendo un futbolista mejor" - remarca, Mark Owen.
"Estoy exitado vergonzosamente cuando los cinco estamos en una habitación. Se siente como volver a casa" - remarca, Robbie Williams.
"Esto es brillante, absolutamente brillante. Estoy sobre la luna, que de nuevo Robbie este de vuelta con nosotros, por mucho que dure. Sólo quiero disfrutar de nuestro tiempo con él. La vida es hermosamente extraña a veces"- Jason Orange.
La reunión de reuniones tuvo lugar en Nueva York el pasado mes de septiembre, después de que Take That terminó de grabar la gira de su álmun Circus Live. Poco después, los cinco integrantes de Take That escribieron y grabaron en secreto las seis canciones que establecerían las bases para el próximo álbum.
Desde entonces la banda ha estado trabajando duro para terminar su nuevo y aún sin título álbum, que será lanzado a través de Polydor Records en noviembre. El álbum ha sido producido por Stuart Price.
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.

Ya está confirmado. El cantante británico Robbie Williams se ha mostrado "vergonzosamente emocionado" al confirmar que 15 años después de dejar Take That ha grabado un álbum con la banda pop británica con la que nació.
Williams, según cuenta la BBC, ha dicho que se sentía como "si hubiese vuelto a casa", mientras que su compañero en el grupo Mark Owen, ha agregado que "parecía un sueño". El álbum, que saldrá a la venta en noviembre, ha sido compuesto por los cinco miembros de la banda.
"El tener a los cinco juntos en un salón siempre fue un sueño, nunca pareció que podría ser realidad", ha dicho Owen. "Ahora la realidad de que los cinco hayamos grabado un disco juntos es como un sueño. Ha sido un absoluto placer pasar tiempo con Robbie de nuevo".
Jason Orange, otro de los componentes de la banda describe el regreso de Robbie como "estar en el séptimo cielo, sin importar cuanto tiempo dure". "Solo quiero disfrutar el tiempo con él. La vida es maravillosamente extraña algunas veces".
La reunión, después de muchos rumores y desmentidos, se produjo en Nueva York en septiembre del año pasado, después de la gira de Take That, The Circus Live.
Williams dejó el grupo hace 15 años y se lanzó en una exitosa carrera como solista que le ha llevado a la cima de las carteleras de música británica en ocho oportunidades. En 1996 el resto del grupo se disolvió para volver a juntarse en 2005, pero sin Robbie.

the rumours are true...
Take That: the original line-up
have written and recorded a new album
for release later this year.
Following months of speculation Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange, Mark Owen and Robbie Williams confirmed today that they have been recording a new studio album as a five piece, which they will release in November of this year. It is the first time they've recorded a full album together since the release of their number one album 'Nobody Else', back in 1995.
'Getting the five of us to be in a room together, although always a dream, never actually seemed like becoming a reality. Now the reality of the five of us making a record together feels like a dream. It's been an absolute delight spending time with Rob again. But I'm still a better footballer' - Mark Owen.
'I get embarrassingly excited when the five of us are in a room. It feels like coming home' - Robbie Williams.
'Flippin' brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I'm over the moon that Robbie's back with us, however long it lasts. I just want to enjoy our time with him. Life is beautifully strange sometimes' - Jason Orange.
The reunion of reunions took place in New York last September, following Take That's record-breaking 'The Circus Live' tour. Shortly afterwards all five of the original Take That secretly wrote and recorded the six songs which would set the foundation for the forthcoming album.
Since then the band have been hard at work finishing their new, as yet untitled, record, which will be released through Polydor Records in November. The album has been produced by Stuart Price.

Singer Robbie Williams and Take That have recorded a new album, the band will announce later.
It is the first time all the members have worked together since Williams quit the group 15 years ago.
The remaining members disbanded in 1996 but reformed in 2005. Since then, they have had three number one singles and two sell-out tours.
Last month, Williams announced on his website he was releasing a single with former bandmate Gary Barlow.
Shame, co-written by the pair, is due out on 4 October and will also appear on Williams's greatest hits album, In And Out Of Consciousness.
In a statement on his website, Williams said the album was "not only a celebration of my past but also a bridge to the future".
"The fact that part of the future includes a name from my past makes it all the more poignant for me."
Williams launched a hugely successful solo career after leaving the band in 1995.
The star, who was presented with the outstanding contribution award at the Brits earlier this year, has had eight number one albums in the UK.
Exclusive footage of the band back together will be shown on the BBC News at Six later.

Hire Gary to relight BGT's fire
TAKE That star Gary Barlow is the man to save Britain's Got Talent if Simon Cowell quits, reckons Stephen Mulhern.
The Britain's Got More Talent host, 33, thinks Relight My Fire singer Gary would be a great replacement for boss Simon on the panel.
Stephen told TV Biz: "Gary would be brilliant. He was a mentor on The X Factor and you could tell he cares and I think that's really important.
"He would be constructive. He's been there, he's done it, so he would bring a different side to things."
Stephen also says celebrity publicist Max Clifford, 67, should replace judge Piers Morgan, who looks set to take over from legendary US interviewer Larry King, 76, at CNN.
He said: "Max has similar experience to Piers. He knows the pitfalls."
Simon, 50, has already vowed to miss the audition stage of next year's series as he focuses on launching the US version of The X Factor.
Stephen said: "If Simon leaves they need to pick the replacement very carefully.
"If Piers goes as well it's a real shame. They have got it so right and the balance is good."
Stephen says he has a good relationship with Piers, 45 - who last week wed Celia Walden - and teases him about his different styles on BGT and America's Got Talent.
He laughed: "Have you noticed how Piers changes his hair? The Americans obviously want a different look.
"It's suave and pushed to the side and he's definitely got a spray tan."
Meanwhile, former magician Stephen is preparing to host his own Saturday night prime-time game show Magic Numbers on ITV1 later this summer.
Viewers will win up to £250,000 by matching digits from their landline or mobile phone with numbers produced by variety acts.

More evidence has cropped up of another stunning live show to come next summer.
It sounds like a huge production is on the way after the City of Manchester Stadium was sounded out about a Take That residency during the close season.
The stadium - home of Manchester City - hasn't been used for three years for outdoor shows, but that is changing in 2011.
A source said: "The owners were becoming concerned at the damage caused to the pitch by the big shows. But the club are spending a fortune on a new state-of-the-art pitch.
"It combines plastic fibres with grass, which makes it very hard wearing.
"Take That's management have discussed dates for next June over a minimum of three nights across a weekend."
Take That played the stadium back in 2006.
Gary told me last year that his biggest regret on the Circus tour was doing too few dates. It could have sold out three times over.
Imagine the demand if ROBBIE WILLIAMS' name is on the ticket?

El cantante y su ex compañero Gary Barlow dejaron atrás las peleas y grabaron juntos.
LONDRES.- Llega la recta final para el regreso de Robbie Williams a la banda británica Take That. Antes de su esperado comeback, el astro del pop cantará a dúo con su antiguo y futuro compañero Gary Barlow.
El tema "Shame" saldrá a la venta el 1 de octubre, según anunció el sello EMI. Y el nuevo álbum con los cinco miembros de Take That ya está en marcha, según se rumorea en el ambiente de la música pop. Sólo falta la confirmación oficial de los miembros del grupo.
Williams y Barlow escribieron conjuntamente "Shame". Es su primer dúo y su primera colaboración desde que el cantante de hits como "Rock DJ" abandonó Take That en 1995, tras años de largas y amargas disputas. Williams fue "la única oveja negra" en la banda, dijo Barlow en aquel entonces. Y el aludido contraatacó diciendo que, salvo Mark Owen, los otros integrantes del grupo eran egoístas, arrogantes e idiotas. Además, añadió que a Barlow lo odió desde el primer momento.
El nuevo dúo aparecerá con el álbum de grandes éxitos de Williams "In and out of consciousness", en el que habla de sus problemas con el alcohol y las drogas en el pasado.
"Lo mejor del disco es que no sólo celebra mi pasado, sino que tiende un puente hacia el futuro", dijo el inglés. "El hecho de que una parte del futuro mantenga un nombre de mi pasado hace que sea aún más importante para mí", añadió.
Williams dejó Take That en medio de una fuerte polémica y se enojó especialmente con el cantante Barlow. Hasta la disolución de la banda, en 1996, le estaba prohibido por contrato iniciar una carrera como solista. Pero el domingo ambos olvidaron su enemistad de antaño y se los vio abrazarse en un partido de fútbol benéfico disputado en el estadio de Manchester United.
Con aproximadamente 70 millones de discos vendidos en los últimos 14 años, Williams es uno de los artistas solistas más exitosos. Su contrato con EMI finalizará tras su tercer álbum de grandes éxitos. Williams se comprometió con el sello a editar cuatro álbumes de estudio y recibió 115 millones de dólares. No se sabe si habrá nuevo contrato.
Barlow ya está trabajando en el sexto álbum de estudio de Take That. Se prevé que el disco sea lanzado por el sello rival de EMI, Universal Music. (DPA)

This was the first time we've see the 38-year-old Take That singer with wife EMMA and daughter WILLOW ROSE since he admitted sleeping with ten other women.
Emma, 33, was all smiles too and clearly enjoying being with her husband following his stint in rehab for depression and boozing.
The couple took a stroll with year-old Willow Rose in a park close to their £2million home in Wandsworth, south-west London.
An onlooker said: They both looked really happy like they've started again.

Robbie Williams continúa los preparativos de su boda con Ayda Field, y parece que ya ha decidido quién será el padrino. El elegido: Gary Barlow, líder de Take That y amigo del cantante, aunque también se barajó la posibilidad de que fuese Mark Owen. "Rob le tiene mucho cariño a Gary y le considera una parte importante de su vida", ha asegurado un miembro de la familia del intérprete de 'Bodies' al 'Daily Star'. "Mark siempre ha sido un compañero de diversión, pero Rob quiere agradecer a Gary el vínculo especial que los une", ha dicho la misma persona. El artista contará con dos padrinos para dar el 'sí quiero', ya que su amigo de toda la vida Jonathan Wilkes también ha aceptado acompañarle en el altar. |

Robbie Williams is reportedly going to ask Take That singer Gary Barlow and best friend Jonathan Wilkes to be joint best men at his wedding to actress Ayda Field.
Robbie Williams is reportedly going to ask Gary Barlow to be best man at his wedding.
The 'Bodies' singer has decided to get the Take That frontman to take on the duty instead of his close pal Mark Owen when he marries fiancee Ayda Field.
A member of Robbie's family is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper as saying: "Rob is very fond of Gary and considers him a solid rock in his life.
"Mark was always one of his fun time pals, but Rob really wants to thank Gary and show his respect for their special bond."
Robbie's long-time best friend Jonathan Wilkes will also act as a best man at the 36-year-old pop star's wedding.
The former Take That bandmates had a high-profile feud following Robbie's departure from the group in 1995.
However, in recent years the pair have patched up their differences and it is believed at some point Robbie will rejoin Take That.
He recently said: "It will happen - but not in the next two years. There are contracts to fulfil, then I can do what I want."

Piers Morgan, jurado del programa "Britain's got talent" comenta un encuentro casual con Jason el día 5 de Mayo que resultó ser bastante anecdótico. Esto es lo que nos cuenta:
HERE is the news TAKE THAT fans have been Praying for - GARY BARLOW and ROBBIE WILLIAMS have been back into the recording studio.
My eXSlusive pictures show them hanging out on the set of buff and tanned Rob's new video - though he was dressed like SIMON COWELL.
Earlier they spent three hours in a Hollywood recording studio before heading to Rob's mansion. A source close to the band told me: "Gary and Robbie are still really close and will always meet up if Gary is in LA.
"It's a great sign for Take That fans that they've been in the studio.
"The reunion is sure to happen, it's just a case of when they can fit it in, but this has definitely set the wheels in motion."
Gary ha firmado con un rapero. Santos dice que tienen que escribir juntos y ver que sale, y que aún no se sabe si este rapero de nombre Aggro Santos participará en el disco nuevo de Take That pero se respetan y admiran mutuamente y a Santos le gustaría formar parte del nuevo disco. Santos saca nuevo single "Candy", en el que aparece la ex-Pussycat Dolls, Kimberly Wyatt el dia 3 de mayo.

EMI Music Publishing, the world's leading publisher of popular music, has extended publishing agreements with some of the most successful songwriters working in the music industry today.
Amy Winehouse, Scissor Sisters, Bryan Ferry and Take That members Howard and Donald and Jason Orange have all agreed new publishing deals which will see their songwriting work continue to be represented and marketed by EMI Music Publishing
GARY BARLOW has been tapped up by The Queen to be her official party planner.
Her Maj invited the TAKE THAT star for a brew at Buck House to discuss organising two big shindigs.
The landmarks are her 85th birthday next year and the Diamond Jubilee in 2012.
Gaz certainly knows how to throw a party, boasting a black book filled with more celebs than you could shake a corgi at.
So the Queen's advisers reckoned the Bizarre Lord was the man to arrange the biggest Royal parties since her Golden Jubilee in 2002.
A source said: "Her Majesty has been made well aware of his charity work and the events he has put together.
"Gary's got the power to pull in some big names and ensure it's a party to match the occasion. The timing means he can get the ball rolling early and start ringing his contacts."
The singer demonstrated his organisational skills with two high-profile charity events last year. He convinced a group of celebs including CHERYL COLE, CHRIS MOYLES and RONAN KEATING to climb Mount Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief.
They scaled the 19,330ft peak to raise more than £3.4million.
Later he put together the Children In Need Rocks gig at the Royal Albert Hall with an all-star line-up including Cheryl, SIR PAUL McCARTNEY, DIZZEE RASCAL and LEONA LEWIS. The concert, which also saw Take That and ROBBIE WILLIAMS share a stage for first time in years, raised more than £2.1million.
The Queen is not the only powerful figure to ask for Gary's help recently.
DAVID CAMERON roped in the songwriter as part of his election campaign and the pair launched a new singing competition for schools.
Gaz clearly has the magic touch, so no wonder Her Maj has requested his services.
All his charity work last year led to calls for him to be knighted. If the Royals enjoy the show, Gary will have one knee on the red velvet cushion.
Tell us the secret, please... Es increíble que cuantos más años pasan, más guapo estás.
Por fin me ha llegado!Muchisimas gracias Noe!!!Me ha encantado!!Es una taza preciosa!!!

SHE hasn't been to visit him in rehab for two weeks but MARK OWEN's distraught wife EMMA will soon be seeing a lot more of him.
Because, like most wives of cheating celebs, she's made the decision to Take That star Back For Good.
But I hear she wants to Relight the Fire in their relationship by moving into a different mansion.
My source revealed: "Mark is due out of rehab for his drinking imminently and Emma has decided she's going to give him another go.
"But she's made it completely clear things have to change and this is his last chance.
"If he lets her down again the door will be shut for good."
Actress Emma is planning to set up the family - including their son Elwood, three, and daughter Willow Rose, one - in a new house to give them a fresh start after he admitted to ten flings recently.
An insider close to the couple told me: "She's got her eye on a beautiful house in south-west London.
"It's a project she can focus on and try and stop thinking about her marriage to Mark."
I Pray Emma has made the right decision and Mark will respect their marriage from now on.
He'll need Patience as she asks him: How Deep Is Your Love?
