Robbie Williams is planning a huge musical comeback for 2008 to
rival the success of Take That's reunion.
The singer's last album Rudebox was panned by critics and he
recently ended his four-year recording deal with EMI.
Meanwhile, his former band have scored two number one singles,
while their album Beautiful World is still in the UK top ten after
over a year.
Reports claimed that Williams is jealous of the success that
Take That have enjoyed. A source said: "Things haven't been going
that well for Robbie recently and he's been having a bit of a break
from recording. His last album, Rudebox, was panned by critics,
which was made worse by the fact Take That are doing so well
without him.
"Robbie has now decided enough is enough and it's time to
reclaim his crown. He is working on new material and he reckons
this is the best stuff he has ever come up with. There could even
be another hit like 'Angels'."
The singer, who left the group in 1995, was asked to join Take
That when they first reunited for their comeback tour, but he
turned the offer down. It has since been rumoured that he would
join them for a one-off performance, but his former bandmate Gary
Barlow said: "There is no place for Robbie in Take That
anymore."
