In the early days of British pop group Take That, singer/songwriter Gary Barlow was known to be a wholesome music star, steering clear of the excesses of drugs or sex. In 1992, however, Barlow has revealed that when Take That’s creator/manager Nigel...
I've got a concert lined up for 2009! (Though it might not be the "coolest" lol). Yep I'm going to see Take That in June! Wasn't a fan first time round but I do enjoy their big tunes from back in the day. Think I was maybe 9 when the split up and wasn't hugely into music then (or boybands), though I remember seeing clips of crying girls on the telly! I watched the documentary reuniting them...
Well, I never thought I would ever be saying this but I had Take That camping outside my house all day Thursday.. Yep shooting their new video.."All night long." It seems they required a location which had a 1930's feel and a gasometer in the background. Any way the shoot is a street party with dancing and fantastic fireworks at the end of the day.I had a brilliant day talking to Mark Owen and...
Hand me my rifle, son, I'm off to shoot me some wussies...Conclusive archival video evidence of the day, back in 1994, when Robbie Williams became the most punchable man in pop...Distressingly, I'm reliably informed that the Robbie-less reunited Take That included an even lengthier Fabs medley in their 2006 comeback concerts. C'mon! Four bullets, people, that's all it's gonna take...
Robbie Williams just might be returning to his boyband roots by reuniting with ex-bandmates Take That. In 2005, Take That reunited after almost a 10-year hiatus and embarked on a world tour without Williams,. who gave his "blessing" at the time.It now appears that Williams has had a change of heart. After being questioned by reporters he said that he has indeed returned to the studio with the g...
Despite not being a fan of them back in the day - was too young and wasn't into boybands - I actually really like Take That's new single Patience (their first after splitting up 10 yrs ago). It's such a gorgeous song and I didn't realise what a great voice Gary had before, although I think some of the other guys should get to sing. Anyway Patience is really great and I think it will become a ...
Times seem to be hard, as the number of tours and shows being announced at the moment seems to have dwindled rather a lot in the past week or so. Scary stuff, but hopefully times will pick up soon. Meanwhile one band that almost certainly won't be feeling the pinch is Take That who have just [...]
Staging a comeback far bigger than any of us could have imagined, it's now time for Take That? The Man Band to release their 2nd album since returning to their adoring fanbase looking slightly crinkly. Modern day Take That are like the drama faces of Melpomene and Thalia. A stunning album, Take That are the vintage champagne of pop fizzing with playful bubbles and happily maturing with age.
It s been really good getting to know him again. I ve been telling Robbie for a while now that he needs to move back. I'd love to be in the band again but I've got some unfinished business of my own to do first.'
Earlier this week, market research company OnePoll revealed the shocking results of a recent survey - according to 3000 listeners in the UK, Gary Barlow is a better songwriter than either John Lennon or Paul McCartney.Barlow, the main singer and songwriter for Take That, has won five Ivor Novello awards...
