Robbie Williams to snub Elton's wedding

Nov 30, 2005, 17:06 GMT

Robbie Williams has snubbed Sir Elton John's wedding - because he doesn't want to socialise with old Take That bandmate Gary Barlow who is singing at the reception.

The superstar singer had a huge row with Gary when he left the popular boyband in 1995.

Despite settling his differences with Gary and the other band members - Mark Owen, Howard Donald and Jason Orange - Robbie is not ready to be in the same room as the man he once branded a 'fat bully'.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: 'Hopefully Robbie's snub won't upset Elton, who has only recently forgiven Robbie for claiming in his autobiography that Elton kidnapped him and forced him into rehab. Gary was devastated Rob rejected £5million to reunite with Take That for their 11-date-tour. And he was hoping he could finally catch up with Robbie at the wedding.

Gary said: 'Its been 10 years since I talked to Robbie. I've had messages from friends saying he sends his love. If he really wanted to reach out he could do.'

But despite the problems with Robbie, Gary says he is thrilled to be performing at Elton and partner David Furnish's wedding next month.

He said: 'I'll perform something from the back catalogue.'
