Robbie Williams is reuniting for an incredible one-off concert with his old Take That bandmates from their homes in lockdown.
The Take That reunion will be streamed online for fans to watch from the comfort of their homes during lockdown.
The six-song set list will see Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Robbie Williams and Howard Donald reuniting for the first time in two years.
The last time the four were together was on The X Factor in 2018, and Robbie has only sung sporadically with the band since he quit Take That after a feud in 1995.
“This is a world first for us,” Take That said in a statement. “Reuniting with our old friend online for a one-off performance!
“It’s always great getting back together with Robbie and we are really excited to be part of this unique show that everyone can enjoy from home.
