Robbie Williams has confirmed that Take That's tour is still on despite recent speculation.

The singer was absent from his bandmates Gary Barlow's 40th birthday celebrations in London last night.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing you, I miss you," Williams said in a video message to Barlow.

He added: "And just want to put your mind at ease about the tour - I know you're worried about my mental health. Well, I'm on meds, everything is fine, everything will be really cool. Love you loads."

Speculation about Robbie Williams absence came after Take That singer Gary Barlow said he sees the band being a four-piece again in the future.

Take That's dates are due to begin in Stoke at the end of May.
