Robbie Williams' recently announced reunion with Take That is expected to earn the band about £100 million ($155 million), says the British press. Unnamed source told The Sun newspaper that each of five musicians would be paid £15 million ($23 million) for the new album.
The rest of the income is based on the earnings from upcoming reunion tour. "One sold-out stadium will gross £2 million for the band. Costs will swallow £1 million per show, but after fifty dates the lads will be left with at least £50 million", said the source.
The album, recorded by Robbie Williams and Take That, is set to hit the stores in November. It will be produced by Stuart Price, who is known for his collaborations with The Killers, Keane, Scissor Sisters and others.
Robbie Williams left Take That in 1995 to work on his solo career. The band than split up in 1996, but after a 2005 documentary they officially announced a 2006 reunion tour. In December 2008, Take That released new album The Circus.
Robbie Williams' last album Reality Killed The Video Star hit the stores on November 9, 2009.
