Ever since Robbie Williams left Take That to strike out on his own, the relationship between him and Gary Barlow is said to have been frosty at best. In fact, it probably soured even before that, as Williams took a more lead singer role even though Barlow wrote the majority of the songs.
But that was a long time ago, with Robbie leaving in 1995. A lot has happened since then, with Williams having a fantastic solo career that has netted him a fortune, a string of beautiful girlfriends, and a house in Beverly Park, Los Angeles. Take That, meanwhile, reformed in 2005 and have since been even more successful than they were the first time around, and could be on the verge of world super stardom.
Williams and Barlow have made it up again, first meeting after almost a decade when Take That wanted Robbie to provide video for the comeback tour. They’ve since met a few times in L.A. but while the rest of the group were known to have put the past behind them, it was unclear how well Williams and Barlow got on.
But no more, as Sky Sports interviewed the pair of them together ahead of the Arsenal vs Manchester United soccer match on Saturday. The video is embedded below, and it clearly shows the lack of animosity left between the two former bitterly opposed rivals.
This is also the first time Williams has been seen in public for a while, having reportedly taken to spending huge amounts of time locked away in his L.A. mansion by himself. It’s certainly the first time he’s been seen in the UK for a while as well.
The pair of former band mates looked comfortable and pally together, and Williams has clearly lost neither his love for football, if being a Port Vale fan can be classed as a football-lover, or his sense of humor. Barlow looked happy to be there too.
Take That are gearing up for the release of their new album, The Circus, while Robbie is apparently working on new material, which will hopefully form a new album that is better than Rudebox. Still no signs of Robbie rejoining Take That but the fact they’re now best mates gives us all hope, at least.
