Take That

Take That is an English pop group formed in Manchester in 1989. The original lineup consisted of Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Howard Donald, Jason Orange, and Robbie Williams. Managed by Nigel Martin-Smith, the band quickly rose to fame in the early 1990s with their catchy pop hits and powerful ballads. Their debut album, "Take That & Party," was released in 1992, but it was their subsequent albums, "Everything Changes" (1993) and "Nobody Else" (1995), that solidified their status as pop icons, with hits like "Pray," "Back for Good," and "Relight My Fire." Robbie Williams departed in 1995, and the group disbanded in 1996. However, in 2005, Take That reunited, minus Williams, and staged a successful comeback with their "Ultimate Tour" and the release of "Beautiful World" (2006), featuring hits such as "Patience" and "Shine." Williams rejoined briefly in 2010 for the album "Progress," which was another chart-topper. Jason Orange left in 2014, but the remaining members continued to release music and tour. Take That is celebrated for their dynamic live performances and has enjoyed enduring success, remaining one of the UK's most beloved pop acts.
