All five of them back together- but for how long?

Take That heart-throb Robbie Williams has admitted that he is more ‘balanced’ in Take That, than he was when he was a solo artist.

Speaking to The Telegraph, Williams reflected on comments he made a year ago about performing as a solo artist.

At the time he said it was “a bit like that feeling when you’re standing on the balcony and you think you’re gonna throw yourself off”.

“For many years it was kinda like jumping out of a plane and not knowing whether the parachute was gonna open.”

Looking back on those comments now the star says his feelings have “changed dramatically. I didn’t know at the time that I was ill. And things have changed since going to the doctors. And finding out what it is and sorting it out.”

“Now, if anything creeps in that’s slightly negative or destructive for myself, I can get rid of it.”

“Well, I’m kinda balanced now. So I’ve just got a level playing surface to work from. And it kind of all makes sense. And, you know, this is my job. It’s also my livelihood. Also, in the past, I’ve been quite good at it, ’cause people have come back to see me. And I’m all good. I’m relaxed. Ready to go. Rehearsed up.”

Last July, Williams announced that he had rejoined Take That. The band are now set to play two dates in Croke Park on the 18th and 19th of June.
