It may have been 10 years since the last time the five members of this former British pop sensation were selling out concerts together and counting on each other as brothers, but that doesn't mean they no longer care about the one member who is now in rehab.
Take That have been sending former bandmate Robbie Williams text messages of support as he fights his prescription drug addiction.
The group - Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Mark Owen and Jason Orange - have dismissed claims they deliberately snubbed Robbie by failing to mention him when collecting their British Single BRIT award. They insist they have been in constant contact with the "Angels" singer since he checked into a rehab center but don't want to publicize their support.
Gary said, "We got picked up (sic) a lot for not mentioning Robbie when we collected the award and for us it seemed like everyone was just jumping on the bandwagon. But we have all sent texts and e-mails to him. We just want to deal with it privately."
Robbie checked into Arizona's Meadows center on February 13, the day before the BRITs.He is being treated for an addiction to the anti-depressants Seroxat and Xanax, and the painkiller Vicodin.
