Take That are rewinding back to thier original line-up to reunite for a 25th anniversary in 2017. The boy band has been a trio since Robbie Williams and Jason Orange left the band in 2011 and 2014 respectively.

A source told The Daily Mirror, “They are going to celebrate their 25th anniversary for sure and it would be great to have Robbie [Williams] and Jason back. It’s a big deal to mark the occasion and not one many bands get to do.”

The Take That trio, Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald, were recently began their first tour as a trio, including 10 dates at London’s O2 Arena. Donald said that the loss of Orange was tough, ''Sometimes you think you're used to it then a new thing comes along, and we do miss Jason. But we are a three-piece. This is what we've got to do." Owen added that, ''It's our biggest arena tour. In the energy of the show you're aware that J's not there. But you don't want people to feel it's missing him,"

The trio were also announced as the first headliners for next year’s Barclycard’s British Summer Time at London’s Hyde Park. Past performers have included Taylor Swift, The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Libertines, The Strokes and Blur.

We’re not sure if this reunion means the group will be back for good to rule the world, but we’ll be sure to get ready for it.
