A fully reunited Take That — complete with Robbie Williams, who quit the band 15 years ago — has recorded a new studio album that will be released this fall, the British boy band has announced.

"I get embarrassingly excited when the five of us are in a room. It feels like coming home," Williams said in a statement on Thursday.

Mark Owen added, "Getting the five of us to be in a room together, although always a dream, never actually seemed like becoming a reality … Now the reality of the five of us making a record together feels like a dream."

The band has teamed up on an as-yet-untitled album to be released in November and are expected to tour worldwide in summer 2011 in support of the release.

2010 marks the 20th anniversary of the band's formation.

Chart-topping British boy band

A British answer to American boy band New Kids on the Block, Take That quickly rose to fame in the 1990s, with hits like Back for Good, Pray and Never Forget.

Williams, the group's youngest member, quit the band — at the height of its fame — after the release of 1995's Nobody Else, in order to pursue what would ultimately be a successful solo career. A year later, the remaining members disbanded.

However, they reunited — without Williams — in 2005 for a new album and sold-out stadium tour that garnered acclaim and resulted in several chart-topping singles.

A reunion of all five original members (Williams, Owen and Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Jason Orange) has been rumoured ever since. The rumours ramped up after Williams expressed interest in rejoining the group, took the stage with his former bandmates at a charity concert last fall, and announced recently that he was releasing a single with former bandmate Barlow.
