Robbie Williams retires to the studio

POP star Robbie Williams has warned fans his next world tour may be his last.
Williams' 2006 European tour broke world records last week, selling 1.8 million tickets in a single day.
The tour will visit Australia late next year, with dates to be confirmed.
"I'm not going to tour for a long, long time after this tour," Williams told the Herald Sun yesterday.
"There's a year-long celebration for me next year, of what I've achieved as a solo artist, and it comes in the form of me getting on stage in stadiums.
"After that I'll say 'Thank you very much', but it's not something I want to do (again) for a long time."
But Williams was quick to say he was not calling it quits, just retreating to the studio.
"I'm not retiring, I've got so many ideas for albums," he said.
"I want to put three albums out a year, but contractually I can't at the moment.
"But I will be able to."
Williams confirmed he might rejoin former band Take That, which will
re-form for British tour dates next year.
The singer left the band acrimoniously in 1995, but has become friends again with his former bandmates.
A new Take That compilation is No. 3 in British charts this week, with Williams' own album Intensive Care at No. 4.
The other four members -- songwriter Gary Barlow, Jason Orange, Howard Donald and Mark Owen -- are getting a reported $3 million each to do the tour.
The Take That shows fit into a gap in Williams' touring schedule next year. He is tipped to make at least one cameo with the now all-grown-up boy band behind hits Back For Good and Never Forget.
"You'll have to see," he said. "If I did it, it wouldn't be about the money. But I can't say no to anything at the moment. I like to keep an open mind." '
