Gary Barlow has revealed that Take That will stay together for the 'rest of their lives'.
The singer said that the group will continue with or without Robbie Williams and they will record their next album as a four-piece.
Barlow told the Daily Star: "We will always be around. Having Rob back or not, I think we can do it for the rest of our lives now.
"For now Progress is done, but I think we will come back to it with Rob whenever we feel like it. Rob wants to do a solo record next year. So it will be the four of us."
He added: "I have no idea what direction it will go in. We will only know that when the four of us go back in the studio. At the moment I have no time to write new songs because of all my other jobs."
Meanwhile, Williams revealed on his blog recently that work was progressing quickly on his next solo album, which he is believed to have written with Barlow.
