Robbie Williams did manage to joined his former Take That colleagues for their reunion gig, but only as a 20-foot hologram.
Before he went to South Africa on his solo world tour, Robbie had re-recorded his lyrics to 'Could It Be Magic'. He made his apperence by a huge screen projecting a video of him, hands in pockets, wearing ripped jeans and a camouflage jacket, singing the first few lines of the song, before the other band members took over and the hologram faded.
Thousands of fans cheered as lead singer Gary Barlow thanked them
"for giving us the last ten years off", adding: "Unfortunately the rumours are true, Take That are going back out on tour." 
Ahhh Bless this is how they used to be - now we only need the Spice Girls to get back together and my life would be complete!!! (Joke)
