Watch Robbie Williams rejoin Take That for one-off virtual charity gig
Robbie Williams rejoined Take That for a one-off virtual charity show last night (May 29).
The singer joined forces with Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald for a lockdown show. It was to raise funds for music therapy charity Nordoff Robbins and Crew Nation, who are helping to support concert crews during the coronavirus outbreak.
Watch footage of their reunion below, including performances of ‘Back For Good’, ‘Pray’ and ‘The Flood’.
Williams famously left the group to launch his hugely successful solo career in 1995 before returning in 2010 for their sixth album, ‘Progress’.
Take That said of the gig: “This is a world first for us! 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.
“We are also delighted to be supporting Nordoff Robbins and Crew Nation around this show, two charities very close to our hearts.”
Robbie added: “I am really looking forward to performing with the boys again — it’s always a pleasure.”
The show came amid Robbie using his time in lockdown to record a series of unlikely covers, including Manic Street Preachers‘ ‘Motorcycle Emptiness’ and Oasis’ Wonderwall.
