Take That to go backpacking after Progress Tour

SIX weeks touring round Britain isn’t enough for Take That – because then they’re all going on HOLIDAY together.

I can reveal that the fivesome – reunited for the first time in 15 years for their forthcoming sell-out tour – will be strapping on their backpacks after their last UK gig for a well-earned break in Europe.

A car is whisking Robbie Williams, Howard Donald, Mark Owen, Gary Barlow and Jason Orange straight to the airport after their final Wembley gig on July 9.

And if they’re not all sick of the sight of each other by then, they will head off on a sightseeing trek round Italy, Denmark, Holland and Germany, fitting in the last few European gigs along the way.

A source said: “It will be the first time the lads have all gone away together properly in 15 years.

“They are really excited. They want to get a chance to have a look around places that they never actually got to soak up properly first time round.

“When they were touring in the early 1990s they were just in and out of all these beautiful countries.

“But this time they are scheduling time to relax, lap up the cultures and food and visit undiscovered places.” I revealed that Take That spent last winter in the Caribbean after being snapped up to perform for Universal bosses on New Year’s Eve.

Robbie could not make it due to family commitments, spending Christmas at his LA pad with his better half, Ayda Field.

But this time the manband will be bunking up together on hols. No excuses.

They will have earned a break by then after their gruelling tour of UK and Ireland, which kicks off at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light tomorrow night.

I’m told: “Hundreds of fans have already started camping outside The Stadium of Light to bag the best spots closest to the stage. It’s like Beatle-mania all over again.”The Progress Live tour will be a family affair this time, as Take That are bringing their wives and children along with them.

I’m told: “All the families are coming to support so the guys have made sure it will be like a playground backstage for the kids.

“They will have the whole area to themselves – the size of Brixton Academy.

“The monster shows will be something else – around 22 tons of electrical cable will be used for every gig and it takes 48 hours just to build the stage.”

Let’s hope the roadies get a holiday too

'No Nerves' For Take That As Tour Kicks Off

Boy band JLS say they are convinced Take That will have no problems living up to the hype surrounding their first tour with Robbie Williams since he rejoined the band.

Speculation has been intense over what the five-piece have planned for their Progress Tour which kicks off tonight at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland.

Robbie Williams has been plagued with stage fright in recent years but JLS, who were talking at the premiere of their own concert movie, said he had shown no signs of nerves when they met up with him in LA last month.

"At the end of the day it started with the five of them and it's nice five of them have totally come back together to do this. You can never beat the original line up of Take That.

"We saw Robbie while we were in LA and he was saying that he's so excited to go back on tour with the boys," said Oritse Williams.

He added, "For us it's amazing to see a band like that as it has had so much success.

"It dispels the myth that boybands are short term and that you can have longevity."

Bandmate Aston Merrygold told Sky News: "Our hats go off to them and we aspire to be like them. I hope we're still around in 10 years."

Take That are expected on stage at 8.30pm at the Stadium of Light for their first full concert with Robbie Williams since he last toured with them in 1995.

Fans started queuing at the football ground from Thursday morning amid massive speculation over just how the band will top their last tour as a four-piece, The Circus, in 2009.

That show was so spectacular many fans questioned if the band needed Robbie to rejoin.

It was the fastest-selling in UK history and its highlights included a huge mechanical elephant, acrobats, enormous pyrotechnics and Gary Barlow peddling a go-kart.

But its sales figures have been dwarfed by the demand to see the five-piece on this year's Progress Tour.

The band will perform to more than 1.75m people over 29 shows in the UK and Ireland alone.

Their run of eight nights at Wembley Stadium has broken the record of consecutive shows set by Michael Jackson's Bad Tour.

The band has revealed little about the theme of the Progress shows other than that the scale of theatrics will be huge.

Rehearsals for the tour have taken place in a hangar in RAF Cardington in Bedfordshire in recent weeks.

Take That make tour Progress

THERE won't be much room for TAKE THAT to have a kickabout backstage.

With only three days until their Progress tour gets under way, everyone is running around making final checks to ensure everything is in working order.

It sounds like GARY BARLOW, ROBBIE WILLIAMS, MARK OWEN, JASON ORANGE and HOWARD DONALD should give their production designer CHRIS VAUGHAN a wide berth anyway.

Last-minute tinkering from the band has left him in need of a stiff drink. He said: "I am numb from worry. If I stopped to think about it I'd be on a plane to Rio.

"We're desperately trying to make everything the band wanted to happen, happen. It is stressful, honing set design, people changing their minds and the show being tweaked some."

The shows have cost more than £15million to stage and are twice the scale of The Circus gigs, so it's no wonder he is anxious.

Kicking off in Sunderland on Friday, the boys will play 36 dates before finishing up in Germany on July 29.

There are 275 technicians and crew on board to make sure the gigs go off without a hitch, plus a whopping 110 trucks to ferry equipment around.
The roadies will have earned themselves more than a few pints once it's all over.

Take That's Jason Orange: 'I love single life'

Take That star Jason Orange has admitted that he enjoys being the only single member of the group.

Speaking ahead of the launch of the Progress Live tour later this week, the 40-year-old singer insisted that he has no interest in settling down.

"I have no problem with being single. In fact, I love it," Orange told the Daily Star. "The other lads have to go home early as they are with their partners and some of them have children.

"But I enjoy being single and being able to go out partying. I don't want to settle down just yet."

However, his bandmate Mark Owen confessed that he is adjusting to avoiding alcohol following time in rehab last year.

"I'm enjoying not drinking," he said. "It is fine by me. It does seem strange not drinking at parties but I am doing all right now."

Take That will release Progressed, a repackaged version of their chart-topping album, on July 13.

Mark Owen's big Take That tour panic

MARK OWEN's been getting through more pants than usual - as nerves kick in ahead of TAKE THAT's Progress tour.

The band will play the first of 36 sell-out stadium shows this Friday.

Mark admitted: "A few weeks ago I had a pre-tour panic, a bit of a meltdown, which I went through for a couple of days.

"Not much sleep, but I came through the other end and I've been all right since.

"But we're confident with it now and I think the show's going to be brilliant."

You can't blame him for getting jittery - this is the biggest-selling UK tour ever.

The first show is at Sunderland's Stadium of Light, where Mark, GARY BARLOW, ROBBIE WILLIAMS, HOWARD DONALD and JASON ORANGE will do four dates.

Then they play the City Of Manchester Stadium, Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, Hampden Park in Glasgow and Villa Park in Birmingham.

The UK dates climax with a record-breaking eight-night run at London's Wembley Stadium, from June 30.

The concerts, which also take in Dublin and six other European cities, will be the first with Robbie since he quit in 1995. It sounds like he can't wait to make up for lost time.

Mark said: "We're having to hold him back. Rob says, 'Come on guys, let's get on with it'.

"We've all got enthusiasm to do a great show and that's what we've always prided ourselves on."

Mark hinted that has led to the odd spat during rehearsals, being held in an aircraft hangar north of the capital.


Speaking to Music Week magazine, he added: "There are certain members of us who push the theatrics more than the others and it's trying to find that happy medium where everybody's comfortable.

"We're like kids really. We're all a bit excited about life and the tour and I'm really proud of what we've achieved. I hope everyone enjoys it."

The band's 2009 Circus tour was truly spectacular.

The lads rode a giant mechanical elephant alongside acrobats and clowns in what must be one of the greatest stadium shows ever performed on these shores.

But their new tour should be more than a match.

We'll find out on Friday...

Love Love lyrics

You bring me right back down to the Earth from the Promised Land
We're getting close to the centre of the Earth with an honest plan
You're never be your Mother or your Father, do you understand?
Do you understand?
We don't have too much time here
And time it travels far too fast
We're not too far we're too near
Before they take it from our hands


Why don't you teach your heart to feel and give you love love
Give you love love give it all away
Why don't you teach your heart to talk and give you love love
Give you love love, give me give me what I need


We'll take it right back down to the Earth from the Wonderland
This is a first class journey from the Gods to the son of man
You're at the gates of human evolution don't you understand?
Why don't you understand?
We don't have too much time here
And time it travels far too fast
We're not too far we're too near
Before they take it from our hands


Why don't you teach your heart to feel and give you love love
Give you love love give it all away
Why don't you teach your heart to talk and give you love love
Give you love love, give it all away
Why don't you teach your heart to feel and give you love love
Give you love love give it all away
Why don't you take your heart to talk and give you love love
Give you love love, give me give me what I need


We don't have too much time here
And time it travels far too fast
We're not too far we're too near
Before they teach it from our hands

Take That: Love Love, nueva canción completa. Banda sonora X Men Primera Generación

Después de escuchar un adelanto el día de ayer, por fin hoy podemos descubrir cómo suena Love Love, un nuevo tema de Take That. Esta curiosidad viene motivada porque se trata de uno de los temas que formarán parte de la banda sonora de X Men First Class o X Men Primera Generación, en su versión española y que podremos ver en cines desde el próximo 3 de junio.


Ya hace días que se confirmó que la reunión entre Gary Barlow y el director del film Matthew Vaughn dio sus frutos. De los temas que llevó Barlow a aquella reunión con el director estadounidense, el que más le llamó fue este Love Love. Se comenta que no les llevó mucho tiempo entenderse, quizá porque mantienen buenas relaciones después de que incluyesen aquel Rule The World en Stardust, el film fantástico de Vaughn del 2007.

No sé si es porque todavía tenemos en la retina Kidz, pero me recuerda mucho al segundo single de Progress. A pesar de ello pienso que los aires militares, sonidos electropop y un ramalazo claro a Muse de este tema pueden congeniar con esta precuela de la saga X Men que, en esta ocasión, está protagonizada por James McAvoy y Michael Fassbender. Si os motiva no tendréis que esperar mucho para haceros con el tema ya que desde hoy mismo está a la venta en iTunes.

Take That's Gary Barlow 'definitely' replacing Simon Cowell on 'The X Factor'

Take That's Gary Barlow has reportedly finalised a deal to replace Simon Cowell on the UK's X Factor.

The singer is now "a definite" to appear on the next series of the show after Cowell quit last month, according to The Sun.


A 'source' apparently said: "Gary is now a definite. Gary knows the business inside and out. If anyone could replace Simon, it's him."

Meanwhile, the newspaper has also claimed that Destiny's Child singer is in talks to replace Cheryl Cole, who is following Cowell across the Atlantic to appear as a judge on the US version of the show.

Last month, tabloid sources claimed that Cowell quit the UK version of the show after his family expressed health concerns over his hectic schedule.

Nicole Scherzinger and Lily Allen have both been touted for positions on the judging panel in recent months. However, Allen dampened rumours about her involvement last month, claiming that no one has yet got in touch with her to discuss the role.

Follow that bike!

MARK OWEN must want to join the ROBBIE WILLIAMS and GARY BARLOW slimming battle.

The singer didn't get a car with the rest of TAKE THAT, instead riding his nan's bike to rehearsals. But where was his skid lid?

Mark, Gary, Robbie, HOWARD DONALD and JASON ORANGE were at The Arc in London's Wandsworth to practice for the Progress tour.

What they are planning is so top secret that workers were banned from using camera phones. But fans clocked them coming and going, with one grabbing Howard for a pic.

The 27-date UK tour sold out in moments. No pressure then...

Take That too talented

GARY BARLOW reckons there is too much talent in TAKE THAT now ROBBIE WILLIAMS is back.

He said: "The band is different with Robbie. We work in a different way. What we have now is too much talent in the room."

Talking about Robbie, MARK OWEN, JASON ORANGE and HOWARD DONALD, he adds: "When Take That are a four, Mark and myself are the leading songwriters. Jay joins in on the lyrics and Howard starts with the melodies.

"Now you add Robbie and he and Mark are doing the same job - and I can do what they do too.

"You have three people writing. It's a jigsaw."

A lucrative jigsaw.
