Take That currently only consists of Howard Donald, Mark Owen and Gary Barlow. The latter, however, now indicates a comeback with five.
In the 90s the British boy band Take That ("Never Forget") made girls' hearts beat faster all over Europe. When Robbie Williams left the band in 1995 and the formation completely disbanded a year later, a world collapsed for many. Since then, Howard Donald (52), Robbie Williams (46), Jason Orange (50), Mark Owen (48) and Gary Barlow (50) have been on stage together in different constellations. In an interview with the British newspaper "The Mirror", the latter raised hopes of a possible take-that comeback with the original line-up.
When asked if there was any chance of a reunion for five, Barlow answered positively, adding, "That's one of the thrills of being part of the band. You don't know what's going to happen from record to record and that's nice. " Take That feels like a safe haven for the 50-year-old. "It's a place to come back to after you've played around a bit and it's time to go home." However, Barlow did not reveal any concrete plans for an early comeback of the former boy band with all five original members.
After Take That split a good 25 years ago, they reunited with four in 2005. Robbie Williams initially refused to return and only became part of the band again in 2010 – but only for a short time. In 2014 the singer, who in the meantime had built an extremely successful career as a solo artist thanks to hits like "Angels" and "Eternity", announced his departure again. Jason Orange threw in the towel next to him.
Take That gave a lockdown concert for four
Take That gave their fans a little foretaste of what a reunion of all five original members could look like in May 2020 during the Corona lockdown. At that time, Mark Owen, Howard Donald, Gary Barlow and Robbie Williams played an online concert together, only Jason Orange was missing.
