Robbie Williams has revealed that he is writing new songs for Take That with Gary Barlow, hinting at a future reunion with the band. The 46-year-old singer made the announcement during an interview on Mark Wright's Heart Evening Show, just weeks after reuniting with his former bandmates for an online concert during lockdown.
Williams said: “I’ve been writing some songs with Gary Barlow in the last few weeks too. Yeah, so, you know, we will ride again, me and my brothers. I don’t know when that’s going to be but we will ride again.” He also described the new material as “more mature” than his usual work and promised it would be “unexpected”.
The singer last appeared on a Take That studio album in 2010 with Progress, before returning to his solo career. He announced his departure from the band in 2014, stating there were “no fallings out, only a decision on my part that I no longer wish to do this”.
During the same interview, Williams revealed that his seven-year-old daughter Theodora, nicknamed Teddy, was named after Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards. He said: “Listen, who was it, it was Keith Richards has a daughter called Theodora and I remember back in the day, maybe 20 years ago, thinking what a beautiful name. So I stole it from Keith Richards so don’t you worry about that.”
