Robbie Williams has said that he will "ride again" with Take That, as well as revealing that he has another five solo albums on the horizon.
The singer is to release new album 'Britpop' in February, his first record since 2019, before adding that a further five albums are in the offing.
Williams made these comments while speaking to The Scott Mills Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2, where he was asked if he would return for Take That's revival of The Circus Live Tour, which originally took place in 2009.
Williams, who last toured with the band on their Progress Live Tour in 2011, said: "Would I return to Take That to do the Circus again? I did love it last time. Not right now. I’m sure we will ride again, but it’s not in my plans right now".
The singer added that the tour's original line up of himself, Gary Barlow, Jason Orange, Howard Donald and Mark Owen had tempted him back to the band.
"Gaz (Barlow) came round to the house in Los Angeles and he had a copy of the show, and he played it me and I just stood, literally stood, didn’t sit, stood and watched it spellbound", he stated.
He continued: "Loved it, and I was like, 'I want back in’, and then the boys are redoing the Circus tour, and it’s a great idea and, you know, it’s caught everybody’s imaginations and the tickets are doing incredibly well. It got me thinking, I was like, ‘maybe I’ll do the Knebworth show".
Elsewhere, Williams chatted about his solo career, where he said he has embraced a new genre on the follow up record to Britpop, which he said would be released "soon".
"I’m doing an album for me, me. I don’t know if anybody would like it at all but I’m doing it for me, me, the next one…
"Listen, I’ve got five in the chambers, I’m ready…", he added. "I’m ready to go, I want to work, I want to go out there, I want to be at it. I’m still incredibly ambitious and I love my work and I love working".
