00:10When I joined the band, I didn't really need anyone else.
00:16I didn't need any help singing, didn't need any help writing, I didn't need any help with
00:22confidence.
00:24When I came back in 2005, I was in such a bad place, I needed everyone, I needed the
00:31shoulders and the presence of everyone.
00:36And that was really the first time I felt I'd been in Take That.
00:42That was when the band started for me.
00:47We bounded into being pop stars in the 90s, not knowing what the hell was going to happen.
00:55We knew what was in the water this time.
01:00So you're a little bit more careful how much of your body you want to submerge.
01:26All of a sudden now, this is getting real.
01:29Who would have known from this documentary coming out that they would have kick-started
01:36the old thing again?
01:38We're now doing some promotion, so we're together for a few days.
01:43It was incredibly exciting to have the opportunity to do it again.
01:50As exciting as it was, I remember just before we went out there to say we're going on tour, it
02:00was all in
02:01this room and I was crying under this table.
02:08It was really fucking emotional, man.
02:13I was that close to turning to the other three lads and saying, lads, this is a joke.
02:21We can't really do this and I felt like I wanted to be sick.
02:28A lot of us were scared and it's a big word that, to say we'd been all burned so badly
02:37at that point.
02:39Well, we'd just like to say thank you very much to everyone for giving us the last ten years off.
02:43But unfortunately, the rumours are true.
02:47Take that of going back on tour.
02:50Yes.
02:51I arrived this morning, there were just three fans waiting outside.
02:54No, that was my sister.
02:57I asked them to come down and make us unpopular again.
03:00We are under no illusions, it's a big call this and we're taking big risks.
03:04We've got to see what our fitness is like as well.
03:06I'm not going to give it a shot and it might be a bobbins, it might be a pile of
03:10crap, who knows.
03:12Or you work the first time around.
03:15Let's see if we can do it again.
03:18Ten years after they split up, Britain's biggest boy band are to reform for a series of concerts.
03:24The boy band has reformed for a one-off tour.
03:27But their far more successful fifth member, Robbie Williams, who split acrimoniously from them, won't be joining them.
03:33So will fans still pay to see Take That without Robbie?
03:40We could do it the first time around because we were young boys.
03:44That's immediately going to be put across with this opening we're talking about.
03:47We spent a lot of time talking before we did anything else.
03:53Four different characters with arms or whatever and all that happened here.
03:57This time, I think we wanted to look after each other.
04:00I felt very protective of the other lads.
04:03We all felt like we wanted what we had, but there was bits of it we didn't want.
04:12Jason said, if we do this, then I don't want to be managed by Nigel.
04:17We need a fresh start.
04:21Nigel invented the band.
04:22He picked us all from our lives and made it happen.
04:27So I owe him so much.
04:30I don't know.
04:31But Nigel was quite scary as a manager, even for me and I was like his main henchman.
04:39Nigel had decided that the way we were going to be successful is by getting into all of our heads
04:46and controlling us.
04:53Jason was probably the only person out of the whole group that would have something to say.
04:58If he didn't like it, he'd have something to say.
05:01And Nigel didn't like that.
05:02You can't tell Nigel what to do.
05:04You just pick on me all the time, don't you?
05:06You hate me. You hate me?
05:08He hated anyone that pushed against his power.
05:13Robbie and I, we got a lot of stick from Nigel.
05:18My manager's down there and he's going to tell me off.
05:20If we don't get in the building now.
05:22I think he decided if we got too big for our boots, it wasn't going to work.
05:28So he made us all feel insecure.
05:32Sometimes you feel like you've got to be smiling when you really don't want to smile.
05:36It does piss you off when people think it is just like all good and all fun.
05:42I could feel like worthless in the band and I didn't deserve to be there.
05:47And I was hanging on by the skin of my teeth.
05:51I didn't want to feel like that anymore.
05:55We discussed meeting him as a band, but Jason wanted to meet him.
05:59They had some unfinished business and he wanted to do it by himself.
06:05Jason's the sort of person that'll tell someone direct.
06:08There's no messing with Jason.
06:10I was really proud of Jay. I remember feeling like, go on Jason.
06:14And I felt proud, you know.
06:18I think he was upset at Nigel.
06:21It must have been a tough time for him, that.
06:25It was probably hard to let us go.
06:27Because he'd known us since we were so young.
06:31But I think he also wanted what was best for the band.
06:34The first time around, we're a manufactured band.
06:37And we were controlled by management.
06:39This time, we've chosen our own management.
06:41We've chosen our own people.
06:43We're in control.
06:46Today, tickets go on sale. Take that to come back.
06:49The band, who had eight number ones in the 90s,
06:51believe the time is right to reignite interest from their fans.
06:54It is one thing, people watching a TV show that's free.
06:59But selling tour tickets, it's just a whole different thing.
07:04You've got some promoter telling us we've got all these dates for you.
07:08And I think, well, is this guy just being greedy?
07:12We just didn't want to look stupid.
07:16I'd gone out the night before the tickets went on set.
07:20With nerves and, you know, all the rest of it.
07:23I was wasted.
07:25I got into...
07:26I must have got into bed at, like, 3 in the morning or something.
07:29And I remember hearing my phone buzzing.
07:33And I had about 35 missed calls.
07:38Some of these people behind me have been queuing since 10.30 yesterday morning.
07:42I'm so excited.
07:43I'm just like, I'm involved with these.
07:45Front row blockade.
07:46How's that feel?
07:47It's fantastic.
07:50The first 10 days had gone before five past nine.
07:55Tickets for the comeback gig were snapped up in three hours.
07:58By the time I'd got up, all 30 had gone.
08:02It was unbelievable.
08:03We're really shaky now.
08:04Because now we've finally got them, so we're well-chuffed.
08:06You couldn't have dreamt this up.
08:09And it's, like, mind-blowing.
08:10And these are the sacred tickets.
08:13The tickets fans have spent hours queuing up for.
08:16They've paid.
08:16How does this even happen?
08:17You can do what you like.
08:20You can do what you like.
08:21Maybe it's etched in people's teenage memories.
08:28The songs and the performances that we used to do.
08:32Ten years for this now.
08:34Ten years.
08:34Ladies and gentlemen, take that.
08:39Congratulations on, A, surviving, right?
08:41And B, being back together.
08:43Look, isn't that lovely?
08:43Take that one.
08:44It's a massive shock to us all.
08:46Yeah.
08:46We're all delighted and the tickets sold in about three hours.
08:50That's weird.
08:50Who's buying the tickets?
08:51I don't mean that in an unkind way.
08:55And at the start of that day, to be thinking,
08:58will anybody come and see us?
08:59To then play into more people than we'd ever played to before.
09:08We were a boy band, you know, 15 years ago.
09:13We had that sort of boyish cockiness, which I've lost since.
09:20How could we come back as mid-30-year-old guys and do what we did then?
09:28It was the first time we moved.
09:31So none of us had moved, really, for ten years.
09:38I think we almost surprised ourselves that we could put something together.
09:47I am a bit nervous about it.
09:51I remember saying to Jason,
09:54I know you're scared.
09:56Because if you don't do this, I can't do it.
10:00Now, the boys, actually, well, they're not boys anymore.
10:02The guys kick off their tour on Sunday night in Newcastle.
10:05Then they're working their way around the country.
10:07I have a ticket.
10:08Oh, good for you.
10:09I wanted to walk out on stage again.
10:12I wanted to sing again.
10:14I wanted that audience again.
10:16I was desperate for it all.
10:18But I wanted it to be right for us all.
10:21I wanted it to feel good for everyone.
10:25And I suppose that was new,
10:26because I didn't really care about anybody else in the 90s.
10:29I just wanted it to be all right for me.
10:36Ten years had led to this show.
10:44Years of many, many dark days.
10:49Losing a record deal.
10:50Gary Barlow has been ditched by his record label.
10:52And everyone laughing at you.
10:54He can't sing, he can't dance.
10:56The album didn't do so well on the charts over here.
10:58So we'd all been beaten up.
11:02Are you acting now?
11:04But we decided we were going to go back in the ring.
11:12I mean, every step was emotional.
11:19And we went on stage,
11:21and it was like an out-of-body experience.
11:28I just can't describe it.
11:31All I do each night is pray
11:35Hoping that I'll be a part of you again someday
11:38All I do each night is think
11:44Of all the times I close the door to keep my love within
11:57All I do each night is pray
12:02Hoping that I'll be a part of you again someday
12:06It's just felt like freedom
12:11It was just great to be doing stuff that I really loved and I really missed I felt like I
12:19had some kind of worth
12:23And it made me feel like an artist again
12:51This is something I love I love this
12:57There's nothing like
12:59Doing the gig of your life and looking right and seeing your mates they're killing it as well
13:07I'm looking at these guys thinking
13:12Shit look at this. It's incredible. It was just
13:18brilliant
13:28That feeling I've been able to do that again to be able to express yourself I
13:35I realized we need to take that and we needed each other
13:42The comeback tour was nine out of ten and the reason I say that is because
13:48It was still a comeback tour
13:52Playing music that was ten years old
13:57It could have been a one-off and that would have been the end of it
14:03But every night there was a spot we used to hit in the show
14:09We'd do a run of songs
14:12We'd do million love songs
14:16Relight my fire
14:19And back for good
14:22And then there was a moment right there
14:25That every night I used to look out and go
14:29If there was a new song it would go here
14:35I hadn't written for take that for ten years
14:38I had no idea
14:40What was gonna come
14:42I had no idea on the style
14:46What does take that in 2006 sound like
14:51Music, I don't know what it is
14:54It has its own laws
14:56When a song lands and it's the right one and it's at the right time
15:00It's not an idea anyone can come up with that
15:03It just happens or it doesn't
15:06And all you can do is
15:08Be there for when it arrives
15:10And just hope that people find it
15:14It makes no sense at all
15:16That three days ago
15:18I couldn't even sit at an instrument
15:21And now I can't wait to write new music
15:25So me and Howard
15:26We got in the studio
15:28And I stood up
15:29And suddenly
15:30This song that had been in there for ten years
15:34Just came out
15:35Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
15:41Well, you feel
15:45I'm sure
15:47Whatever you're feeling
15:50Baby, you're tired
15:55And honestly
15:57It was just like
16:00Whoa
16:01To have a little
16:03To have a little
16:03Patience
16:04And it just felt
16:07Timeless
16:09Patience
16:10Yeah
16:11I remember when Gaz put patience on
16:14To have a little
16:18Patience
16:18And it just felt
16:20Timeless
16:20Patience
16:26And we're like
16:26Wow, that's a great song
16:29Brilliant song
16:30And we're like
16:31Wow, that's a great song
16:31Brilliant song
16:33And those beautiful high notes
16:35That Gary was hitting
16:40You could just sort of weigh like
16:42Woo
16:43Off from the clouds
16:45Have a little
16:48Patience
16:49With me
16:52We went to Iceland
16:54For the video shoot
16:57We were all coming back
16:58With our mic stands
16:59From these various places
17:04And we were living it
17:08Everything else
17:09Everything else
17:09Up until that point
17:10Has been retro
17:13Nostalgic
17:15But that was just
17:16Taking a step forward
17:20And I remember that night
17:22Like the northern lights
17:24Are above us
17:26And it felt really magical
17:30Things are lining up
17:31And meant to be
17:33And it felt really
17:34That day
17:34Come on, number one
17:39Oh
17:40It's hard
17:45I just need time
17:50My heart is numb
17:52Has to feelin'
17:54So while I'm still hearin'
17:57Just try
18:00For decades on
18:02they're back together and they're back at the top of the charts with their new single aptly named
18:07patience how long have you guys been waiting since six o'clock sandy morning 30 hours nearly
18:15it was not just a number one it was like a career change and today my dream became true
18:23it was like the launch of a new band a brand new band and i was so proud
18:29it just felt like such a hallelujah moment for us i'm gonna get four valentine kisses
18:42and that song gave us the doorway to a whole new a whole new place
18:51and it was kind of up to us no one else
18:57thank you everybody amazing oh my god we all sat down and oh
19:04shit wow what do we do now
19:12welcome aboard my uh boat if only
19:18jason said if we do this together and we write albums we should all split the royalties as a band
19:24okay guys i'm sure it took gary back a bit
19:32in the 90s with the hierarchy of our band the writing was a big part
19:43yeah there was one time and this was towards the end of the band where i approached gary
19:49gaz when we do the next album can we get a credit on it
19:56it was resisted it was you know fervently it was like no
20:07i was a very different person back then
20:11very thick-skinned incredibly ambitious
20:17i was the songwriter it was my job gary believed it he spent all of his life grafting you know
20:25why
20:25should he he have to relinquish his reward now but the request was never can i work on songs it
20:34was
20:35no we just want a credit
20:37you don't want to do anything but you suddenly just want to appear as credits on the songs that i'm
20:43writing
20:44no i'm not doing that so when we came back the question came back up again but it was a
20:55different
20:55question this time because everyone wanted to write and i realized this takes pressure off me
21:05now everybody's sharing the the burden of being a creative in a band
21:12i was always quite a nervous kind of shy and secure kind of bloke when i was i was in
21:17take that
21:17who just used to hide behind a smile and a nice haircut some nice suits
21:26my school started as we split up those 10 years of writing were of massive value
21:35that was basically mark's apprenticeship his solo career
21:43i was in a writing session with him and sometimes you have to get out of the studio
21:48and get away from all the music and the noise me and mark were outside having a sneaky little fag
21:55i mean me and him were like going off each other's ideas like this chant thing that it needed to
22:02be
22:04and that's how that song was born
22:08it's not part of gary's world
22:12didn't mean howard so that in itself was big it almost didn't make the record
22:21we had to fight for it a little bit
22:25but just to have those conversations you know be able to say i disagree i think it could work
22:32that was probably bigger than any of the songs
22:35oh i forgot my mic where's my mic
22:39can't sing in this one
22:43so that song was allowing space for the people to come forward
22:54you're such a big star to me you're everything i wanna be
23:00but you're stuck in a hole and i want you to get out
23:04a lot of people think it's about rob i think rob thinks it's about rob so i didn't want to
23:10tell him it wasn't
23:18and it's about all of us um i knew it was about me
23:29all of a sudden back on this train and it's like wow it's getting bigger every week
23:38it was such a shock for everyone
23:47nobody nobody not us not our manager not our record label
23:53ever saw ever imagined it being as big as it was
23:58i think once we got patience we thought oh this this this could be good
24:05but then as it kept coming shine
24:11the next thing we knew we were paying to thousands and thousands of people's stadiums
24:18never played a stadium before
24:28we've circus i don't think we could have had enough
24:31it gave us the artistic freedom to do what we really wanted to do
24:36we had chinese acrobats we had russian tightrope walkers
24:42we had a fucking elephant with a woman on the back pretending to be a tail swinging around
24:46it was just it was just it was mental
24:52tonight this could be
24:54the greatest time
25:06okay i want to see everyone's arms in the air
25:15and it was it was our world
25:22we were in control of it all we were in control of it all it was just magic
25:41we didn't leave anything behind it was like we're going to give you everything we have
25:46every part of us every single ounce of us and we aim for that you know we never stopped aiming
25:54for that
25:56what we always loved doing was challenging ourselves to something that we'd never ever done before
26:02oh to learn something that you don't think you can do
26:13when i was in say that the first time around i was the dancer of the band
26:18um
26:20and i accepted it at the time
26:26and i think
26:29i don't know whether this is the time or place to say actually
26:36i was told not to bother singing ever
26:45so what do you think do you like our big stage
26:50and what about the elephant did you like the elephant
26:54i suppose i couldn't tell people how i really feel
26:59and i can't even tell you what i went through to get there
27:08so this time singing it's such a pleasure for me to do it
27:15a little boy me went fishing in a wooden boat
27:21sitting there for hours
27:23in the cold
27:24jay he has the most beautiful voice
27:27his tone and the way he sings is so beautiful he never over sings
27:31he's a very gentle singer
27:35sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for
27:40what's the time to be the first one on the dance floor
27:45we go from green to blue to gold to black
27:50the
27:51breathe deep
27:53who knows how long
27:56take that being able to come back and do this again
27:59was a lot about jay finding his voice
28:03the journey
28:05christine died and now i'm here alone
28:10he always could do it he always could
28:13that wouldn't
28:14he always could do it he always could do it
28:19but i knew this was enough for him
28:26i knew jason was leaving
28:29i think he'd found it hard coming back
28:33i feel like he'd enjoyed the success
28:36but he didn't want it forever
28:38the most important thing about take that
28:42always from the beginning
28:44was our personal relationships
28:54robbie left we never actually had any closure
29:07jason promoted it quite heavy the fact that he wanted to do this thing with robbie
29:12he worked to get the five of us back together and make everything honky dory
29:21i felt like to keep jason we've got to get rob
29:31robbie was in a um he was in a funny place at that time
29:39we'd started speaking a lot more to rob
29:42he was becoming a part of our world again
29:45the last few times i'd seen him
29:48we'd gone round and he they hadn't left the house for about eight months
29:54i'm bored i'm scared i'm lonely and i've said everything that i want to say in a record
30:02and he'd been wearing this same costume i say costume because he was dressed like demis russos
30:19you don't know who he is but believe me your mum will know
30:24because demis russos was the heartthrob of my mum's generation
30:31we'd go and see rob and he was dressed like demis russos and we'd all leave and go what the
30:37hell
30:37what's he playing at i mean he looked like a jedi
30:42he was obviously going through his demons former take that star was close to suicide last weekend
30:49he went through his uh drugs and his alcohol his addictions
30:58basically i'm that wrapped up in myself the only opinion i have about anything is about me
31:04and it's a terrible opinion
31:07so we're in la and we decided that this thursday night was going to be the night we're all going
31:12to
31:13meet up you know i had a lot of stuff i wanted to say to rob he had a lot
31:17of stuff he wanted to say
31:18to me we'd just never done it yeah we went to his house and robbie had this massive conversation with
31:27gary what he felt about gary in the 90s and you know how it hurt him and blah blah blah
31:34and robbie said listen this is massive for me i needed gary to listen to my truth to to listen
31:42to
31:42what my experience was and there were things around me not being supportive about his songwriting and
31:50about his weight interestingly i'd called him blobby instead of robbie one day which
31:56i hold my hands up i shouldn't have done and basically i had to sit there and just go yeah
32:02i did
32:03that yeah and it was a real fucking magical moment and then i hit him with some things
32:13i didn't like that he'd done to me sorry gary but i was always the talented member of the band
32:20when two grown-ups meet and one goes here's my truth and they go yeah i'm sorry and the other
32:27one
32:27goes here's my truth yeah i'm sorry there's room for movement then and in about 20 25 minutes
32:34we'd put to bed things that had haunted us for years and it felt like we could move forward after
32:41that
32:43and then you realize that you know you hurt so much because you love them so much
32:49it healed a lot of wounds
32:54and i went up to his place one night and i said rob i've got something to play you
32:57and i played in the circus tour
33:02and he said how do i become a part of this because that looks insane
33:09so i was like well we need we need to do some music that's the first thing
33:17mark was having his stag do when we were all going and i'd said mark now we're going to new
33:24york for this stag do which is brilliant but shall we book a studio it was perfect because rob was
33:31coming from la we was coming from london it felt like we were meeting in the middle but then rob's
33:39like oh not new york i hate new york too many people there it's too crowded i ate it i
33:45thought well
33:45that's the end of that then so anyway we booked the studio and we all flew to new york got
33:51there and as
33:52i'm checking in two big cases of louis vuitton luggage wheels past me i think jesus crap and then
34:02stood behind them bloody robbie in reception didn't tell anybody he was coming
34:10i think we're all aware the dynamics are the risk it's the first time the five of us
34:18had ever creatively been in the studio who knows how that's going to turn out who knows what that's
34:26going to feel like yeah i thought it'd be this complete egotistic asshole that would just want his
34:33own way you know how are we going to find we have to find a way to to agree with
34:46something and i don't
34:47know how i would you know whether we're always going to do that or how we're going to do it
34:50or
34:51what's the process there we're going to keep hitting walls actually me personally i'm not afraid of
34:55hitting some walls it's about us communicating properly yeah are you nervous are yes i am yeah
35:02what about um about feeling part of it really i suppose i mean you're three great writers and it's like
35:12i would have said uh when we got off the plane he said should we make up a dance routine
35:15so we can
35:16show them something we turn up we're coming like that we've got some of that we're contributing
35:25i'd actually done some instrumentals and i said right lads let's just start the session press play
35:38should we yeah oh what was the first one was that the first one and rob went
35:50we all went wow
35:57i genuinely loved the way robbie worked as far as giving and taking song ideas
36:07at the start of whatever standing on the edge of forever at the start of whatever
36:13i think it was a real healing process not just for him but for gary and i think for the
36:19rest of the group
36:26i saw a side of robbie basically that i never ever thought i would see
36:36i wanted to be better i want the words to have more meaning i want them to emote more i
36:41wanted to
36:41touch people i'll promise you in 10 minutes the bare bones of the flood was there
36:52and by about four o'clock in the afternoon rob was in the booth singing away mark was writing lyrics
36:59throwing stuff in across the mic howard played drums on it in the evening we literally had the whole
37:06thing done the first day the first day we're in a studio
37:11over the next four days
37:14i bet we wrote eight out of the 12 tracks that are on that album so quickly just like that
37:26it's being billed as one of the most exciting reunions in british pop history now take that with
37:32robbie are back with an announcement set to delight their fans no rumors this morning everyone just the
37:39facts that take that are going back on tour
37:41i watched the circus with gaz and loved the whole thing and was like oh my god i need to
37:50be part of
37:50this and then the next thought was how do you top that this was then 15 years ago now take
37:57that are
37:57back they're reforming this time with robbie williams they've recorded a new album it'll be released
38:03all queues formed phones were engaged and internet sites crashed this morning as tickets for concerts
38:09by their reform take a million tickets already having been sold hundreds queued overnight hoping
38:14enough tickets would be available
38:20never ever considered that the most insecure and emotional person in the band was robbie
38:27and i feel quite guilty now for not recognizing that
38:34robbie is not the most confident of people
38:38he's never been great at touring he's always had stage fright 70 000 people 70 000
38:44is there going to one stage in it 70 000
38:50i'd like rob to have a real ball with us i want to see him alive on stage
38:57i've not seen it for years and if it helps him find robbie again then that's going to be great
39:08we're in a place where we knew we'd made a fantastic record
39:15and now we wanted to make a show that could live up to that
39:43so
39:52I watch the show every night, watch their bit every night, love it.
39:56All of a sudden, I'm inspired.
40:00There's nothing for me to do other than be in Take That.
40:24This is the perfect time, the perfect moment, for that to happen.
41:00To be able to see him up on stage, I was really happy for him.
41:20I mean, he's a fantastic performer.
41:31And then to be able to see him blossoming, it was brilliant.
41:48Every single time, with our bit in the show, I've absolutely loved it.
42:05If we hadn't have come back as a band, we wouldn't have seen Rob again.
42:10We needed to come back again as equals.
42:23I think Rob was able to find himself again in some ways.
42:46This is it, Wembley Stadium.
42:52But we knew what was coming.
43:00Sunshine, very happy.
43:04Very happy.
43:08Me, Mark and Howard, we knew...
43:13..that things were changing.
43:21For Robby, this was one album and one tour.
43:24We all knew that.
43:29Good drink, I'm done, too.
43:35See you, Rob.
43:36This was great.
43:38Thanks, mate.
43:39It's been bloody brilliant.
43:51We all celebrated on our last night of the tour.
44:01It was lovely for us to have Rob back.
44:07I'm so glad it happened.
44:10To be able to heal, reflect, rejoice.
44:18And that'll stay with us all forever.
44:28After that last show, Jason sat us all down and said,
44:32Listen, I don't want to be in the band anymore and I think I'm done.
44:40He went, lads, I just don't want to do this.
44:43I just don't want to do it.
44:47But it was really sad because...
44:50..Jason felt like one of my best friends.
44:54I felt like we had so much in common.
44:58We're from council houses and big families, down-to-earth people.
45:05I'd had many laughs with and made a laugh so many times.
45:14But it was a scary time
45:17because I almost felt like I was going back to 96 again.
45:24It just was a very uncomfortable feeling.
45:27I didn't really know where to turn.
45:30It was a big moment, that, for us.
45:33Because now we'd gone from five on stage...
45:38..to three of us.
45:40We'd lost two members.
45:42We had this conversation about it.
45:46Hey, Howard, do you know, um...
45:48Do you think we should carry on as a three?
45:51..and he literally took the words out of my mouth?
46:11Oh, the only thing we don't like on there is the cauliflower cheese.
46:16Do you not like cauliflower cheese?
46:17No.
46:18What's wrong with you?
46:19It's too cheesy.
46:20What?
46:20And it's cauliflower.
46:22What's wrong with cheese?
46:28We've done every formation of Take That.
46:32A five.
46:33A four.
46:34A five again.
46:36A three.
46:37These boys have been topping the charts for over 13 years.
46:41We've now been a three,
46:43the longest we've been any variation of the band.
46:46But I still think we're learning and finding our place.
46:50British musical royalty, it's Take That!
46:53We're not young whippersnappers any more.
46:56But we're still out there selling tickets and we're hungry.
47:02It's an incredible 12th number one for Take That these days.
47:05And that gorgeous audience, I want to go round and kiss them all one by one because they've loved us
47:11and they've made us part of their lives for years and years.
47:16And they still keep coming.
47:19I can't imagine my life without it, without those guys being in my life.
47:25At the heart of my world is Take That.
47:29I can't imagine my life without it, without those guys being in my life.
47:593 years ago...
48:03Be long for life.
48:03...never forget.
48:04It's a song that is relevant to Woods as a band today,
48:08as it was the first time we ever performed it.
48:18Howard for me is like the backbone of the band.
48:23Never forget his the most fitting song for him to sing.
48:29Because the band is in that song
48:32Meeting the other lads for the first time
48:34A little bit nervous, a little bit shy
48:38Every outfit
48:43Every award
48:49Every part of Take That
48:57Every high, every low, Rob leaving, Jay leaving
49:04It resonates with me every time
49:08And when you throw your arms up in the air
49:10And you're going, never forget, you are reaching for the freaking sky
49:13Everybody!
49:18Gary and Mark, Rob and Jason, they're very inspiring
49:22They mean a lot, you know, I love them, of course I do, I love them
49:28They've been great friends to me
49:30I mean, they drive me crazy
49:34But I bloody love them
49:38We sang, we danced
49:39We tried to send ourselves up a lot
49:42And not take ourselves too seriously
49:46And I was so proud of it
49:53What we've all got together is really magic
49:56We were the best boy band there's probably ever been
50:01It doesn't matter what happens next
50:03It doesn't, because we've done it
50:07You know, the problems and the ups and downs
50:11And it was all worth it
50:14It honestly was
50:39Silver and gold
50:42Silver and gold
50:43I want to see
50:46All of the colors
50:48I know I can be
50:52But you see the days
50:55The skies don't shine
51:00And then you put your hand in mine
51:06And my heart comes alive
51:10All the stars turn bright
51:13A million times in your arms and mine
51:18And I want to let you go
51:23You're a superstar
51:27And I'm yours
51:31And I need to let you know
51:38I'm a superstar
51:40Because you just need to grow
51:57And I want to let you know
52:02You're a superstar
52:06And I'm yours
52:18And I want to let you know
