Take That to move in together with Robbie Williams

Take That will all live in a house together when they tour next summer.

The five-piece group – consisting of Mark Owen, Jason Orange, Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and returning singer Robbie Williams – are planning to move into a country home in England where they will fly out from for all their shows.

The band's management have reportedly made inquiries into renting a house in the counties surrounding London or the English midlands next summer and will use a helicopter to get the boys out to the cities they are playing, which include Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham and London, in support of their forthcoming album 'Progress'.

A spokesperson told The Sun newspaper: "The band will move all their families into the same huge house - wives, girlfriends and kids too - and then fly to the concerts each night.

"It means they can all travel together, which makes life easy for their tour manager. And they are always around for any rehearsals or band meetings.

"They can all eat together too and bring in the very best caterers. But more importantly, it prevents any of them being left on their own to be lonely or get up to no good.

"Robbie is keen to avoid being stuck in hotel rooms. He does not like the drudgery of touring."

Mark is keen to have his bandmates around him to keep him company since he has given up alcohol.

The source added: "Mark wants the moral support of the rest of the lads now he's not drinking.

"They all like the idea of having their friends and family around them. But it will be a huge stately home or a large country retreat so everyone has plenty of space to themselves if needed."

Take That last all stayed together when touring the UK in a minibus in the early 90s, sharing hotel rooms before they became famous.
