Robbie Williams splits from Take That (or doesn’t)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 5 October 2011
Robbie Williams is no longer part of Take That. He’s gone for good. Or gone for a while. Because they’re all on a break anyway. It’s like the Schrödinger’s Cat paradox – if you put Take That on a break, then Robbie Williams is both in the band and dead at the same time. Something like that.
Anyway, Gary Barlow gave an interview to the Radio Times, as you do – there’s no law against it – and in it he said: “[The reunion tour] was beautiful. We got on well. We finished the tour. The fans have come along and been happy. Now Rob’s doing a solo record and from this point it’s back to where it was”.
Most people took “where it was” to mean that Take That is a four-piece again. Not so, says a spokesperson for the group, who told the BBC: “I can confirm that the band are not splitting. The band are on a break, Gary is doing ‘X-Factor’ and Robbie is working on his new solo album”.
I suppose while Take That are not actively working together, both of these statements can be true. This short video about Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle should help you understand:
