Robbie Williams 'Enjoys Secret Studio Reunion With Take That'

Robbie Williams has reunited with his former band Take That to record new material, it's been reported.

The singer is understood to have met up with the group at Mark Owen's stage night in New York.

The reunited friends are reported to have headed to the city's infamous Electric Lady studios, where they laid down their first new tracks together since the star quit in 1996.

A source told the Daily Mirror:  "He is back with Take That in the studio and they're all writing together again.

“Robbie wouldn't be happy performing old Take That songs that he has had no part in.

"But if they can pen new tracks that they're all happy with, they'll record them and he will be back with them on stage."

A spokesman for the band said he was unable to comment on the reports, but did confirm that Take That were in New York mixing a new live album.

The reports come as Williams is preparing to make his solo comeback with new album Reality Killed The Video Star.
