Robbie 'will never join Take That full-time'

Robbie Williams will never rejoin Take That as a "full-time member", according to his manager.

Speaking to The Sun, Tim Clark said that while the singer might reunite with his former bandmates in the future, he would never accept a permanent role in the band.

"They are all great friends again," he said. "Whether Robbie pops up at Wembley Stadium is up to him. But he is not going to become a full-time member."

Last month, Williams fuelled speculation that he was considering a reunion with the group, saying: "I'd love to be in the band again but I've got some unfinished business of my own."

Discussing the singer's solo career, Clark said that he was contracted to release two more LPs for EMI, but that nothing following this had yet been decided.

"Robbie’s got a 'Best Of' to come on his contract after releasing a new album this year," he said. "He will then look to his future. We will engage with a range of people and Robbie will have his ideas."

Williams's last studio album, Rudebox, was released in 2006.
