Mark Owen’s rehab stint puts Take That reunion on hold

London (ANI): Robbie Williams" reunion with Take That has been put on hold owing to Mark Owen"s rehab stint. Last weekend, the band had booked a recording studio in Wiltshire, but it was cancelled after Owen"s wife Emma kicked him out over his 10 affairs.

Owen, 38, is receiving help for issues with booze, drugs and depression while at the clinic. And the band has told him that he can take as much time out as he needs. “They were all heading down there, Robbie included, but the plan has been scrapped for now. All they care about is Mark at the moment and it wouldn"t feel the same all of them practising for their comeback without him," the Mirror quoted a source as saying.

It was revealed last year how the band, which also includes Jason Orange, Gary Barlow and Howard Donald, spent time in a recording studio in New York last September. But the source added: “All excitement about the future is very much on hold because Mark"s got to get better first."

Meanwhile, Mark"s friends have revealed that it"s “far too early" for Emma to have made any decisions about taking the cheating singer back. “She wants to see how Mark responds to treatment. Believe it or not, she does want him to get better – for his own sanity if nothing else," said a pal.
