Take That Comeback To Be Analysed At Academic Debate

Take That's reunion with Robbie Williams is to be the subject of an academic debate.

The two-day event at the University of Salford will look at the band's comeback, as well as analysing their split in 1996.

The debate will also draw parallels between Take That and the break-up and reformation other notable acts, including The Beatles, reports The Sun.

An invite said the band's reunion provided an “excellent opportunity” for students and staff to “discuss key issues arising from this contemporary popular music phenomenon”.

The conference in June will coincide with Take That's mammoth Progress tour.
