Iconic 90s band reunite for new shows nine years after topping the charts
AFTER phenomenal demand for their This Life On Tour, Take That have revealed they’ve added two more dates to their run.
The group, made up of Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald, have added a seventh show to their run in Manchester and a sixth at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena.
Take That will also play six nights at London’s O2 Arena, with five of those dates already sold out.
The lads - who have also signed up for a shock documentary - announced their upcoming new album, This Life, exclusively with The Sun and revealed they would be hitting the road across 41 dates that takes in 15 cities.
They went back-to-basics for the new record, with Gary, Howard and Mark secretly working together in the states.
In an exclusive chat, Gary said: “It’s been years since it’s been just the three of us by ourselves, so that was pretty special.

“While we were recording in Georgia, we’d have breakfast together, just us, and then get an Uber into the studio.
“We’d have a full on two hour vocal session – a lot of work in a short space and then go out to dinner together.”
Mark added: “This record was made in a different way, we went into the studio there was a band in the room – all holding lyric sheets.
“The studio days started and ended with a bigger band - and that was amazing, I think that comes across in the music.”

Gary continued: “It’s been longer than anticipated.
“Music tends to tap you on the shoulder when it’s ready to come out and that’s how we knew it was time. That started last summer and we knew whatever we made would be out for this Christmas.
“It’s one of our most personally written albums.”
During the interview the trio also confirmed Robbie Williams and Jason Orange would not be a part of the album or the tour.
Gary said: “The one thing I keep hearing is that Take That are coming back but there’s no Robbie and Jason.
“But Robbie hasn’t been in the band since 2011 and Jason left in 2013.
“We’ve always said they’re welcome to join us but we’ve done about 600 shows since they were around.
“We’re a three at the moment and we’re doing okay.”
