Robbie to make one-off Take That return

Robbie Williams will reportedly bring an end to his 14-year absence from Take That with a one-off performance next week.

The show is to form part of a Children In Need concert, which is being held at the Royal Albert Hall and will also include performances by Snow Patrol, Lily Allen, Dizzee Rascal, Leona Lewis, Muse and Sir Paul McCartney.

A source told the Daily Star that 'Could It Be Magic' might be the song through which the greatly-anticipated reformation is played out.

"It's the gig where Robbie finally gets back with Take That. They're mates again and doing it for charity seems like the best way," the insider said.

"Everyone fears Rob will change his mind. But he feels it's the right time."

Williams left the boyband in 1995 to launch his own career. Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Howard Donald and Jason Orange remained together before eventually splitting the following year. They reformed in 2006 and have recently been working on their first live album Take That Present: The Circus Live, which is due for release at the end of this month.
