Take That will reform this year, with Robbie Williams confirmed to play with the boy-band, it has been claimed.
According to chief songwriter Gary Barlow, the five-piece are planning a live show at Christmas, although there are no confirmed details.
Speaking to a UK tabloid, Barlow said: "It's not strictly speaking a concert but we're doing something in time for Christmas and Robbie has definitely signed up for it."
Take That limped to an end in 1996, months after the departure of Williams, who has since gone on to become the UK's biggest musical force in the world of pop.
The band – Williams, Barlow, Jason Orange, Howard Donald and Mark Owen – scored a string of massive chart hits, although a reformation was always thought unlikely because of reported strains in the relationship between Williams and Barlow.
