When Take That visited Capital Breakfast on Tuesday, Gary Barlow was asked a tricky question that led to a playful exit from the studio. The band, now a trio consisting of Gary, Mark Owen, and Howard Donald, discussed their new documentary, currently available on Netflix, during the radio show. In a light-hearted moment, Gary humorously walked out after refusing to answer a question about Robbie Williams’ ‘worst song’. The group engaged in a game where they had to answer increasingly difficult questions until they decided to leave.
Take That, originally formed in 1989 in Manchester with Gary, Howard, Mark, Robbie, and Jason Orange, disbanded in 1996 after Robbie’s departure. The remaining members reunited in 2005, and after Jason’s exit in 2014, the current trio continued. The documentary showcases the band’s ups and downs over three decades, including rare footage. Gary emphasized that they maintain positive relationships with Robbie and Jason, highlighting the camaraderie among the band members.
During the interview on Capital, it was revealed that comedian Peter Kay is a big fan of Take That, having seen them live over 20 times. Gary shared a fun anecdote about Peter Kay’s enthusiasm for their performances in the 90s. The mutual support between the band and Peter Kay was highlighted, with Gary praising the comedian’s live shows.
The documentary launch event in London was described by Gary as a celebration of the band’s journey, emphasizing the importance of maintaining friendships and celebrating their shared history. The band members expressed their continued support for each other’s endeavors, showcasing a strong bond among the group.
