Take That have been through it all in their over 30 years on the scene, and their scariest moment might come as a surprise.<\/p>\n
The legendary 90s boyband is made up of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen \u2013 previously boasting Jason Orange and Robbie Williams in their line-up \u2013 and despite taking \u2018holidays\u2019 over the years, they plan to be around for a long time to come.<\/p>\n
Gary, Howard and Mark have just announced new music and a massive 2024 tour, and naturally have been reflecting on their rollercoaster career so far as well as looking forward to the future.<\/p>\n
And, chatting to Metro.co.uk, Gary reveals there was one particular moment in the last 33 years that scared him like no other.<\/p>\n
Asked if there\u2019s anything from the early, cheesy days of the 90s they look back and cringe about, Gary explained \u2018it\u2019s not cringey because it\u2019s a part of our story.\u2019<\/p>\n
He added, however: \u2018One thing\u00a0I didn\u2019t like was when we were coming back in 2005, 2006, and we did this press conference and photoshoot \u2013 and I didn\u2019t like it because we looked like four guys who were scared to death of what was to come.<\/p>\n

\u2018And that\u2019s because we were! We look like we were thinking, \u201cWhat the hell is going on?\u201d \u2013 and we were. I remember getting to the end of that day and thinking, \u201cThis is so scary.\u201d We had no clue whether everyone was going to laugh at us \u2013 I look back at those pictures and think \u201coof\u201d.\u2019<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not just that almost-20-year-old photoshoot that gets Gary\u2019s skin crawling, as he has \u2018never been a fan of heights,\u2019 Mark adds.<\/p>\n
The Greatest Day singer may have been performing on stage for decades now, but as Mark puts it: \u2018Last time, on the Odyssey Tour, he didn\u2019t even open his eyes all of rehearsals until the opening night.\u2019<\/p>\n
Saturday 13 April Sheffield Utilita Arena<\/strong> \u2018That\u2019s true,\u2019 Gary adds. \u2018It was the opening night when I first opened my eyes [up on stage]. And then I learned to just keep looking forwards.<\/p>\n \u2018You can see it in the film. I just kept telling myself, \u201cDon\u2019t look down.\u201d\u2018<\/p>\n Take That have millions of fans around the world, many of whom have been there from the very beginning, and, asked if the band believes there are any misconceptions around them Gary says proudly that their fans \u2018just really want us to be ourselves.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018Although,\u2019 Howard adds, \u2018it bugs me when people say \u201cTake That have reunited,\u201d when the truth is we never really went away \u2026 we just go off and have a bit of a holiday and come back again.\u2019<\/p>\n And, as Mark puts it: \u2018Hopefully we have many more years to come, too.\u2019<\/p>\n Fans are certain to be hoping the same \u2013 and the coming years are getting off to a riotous start with the release of new album This Life out on November 24, followed by This Life ON Tour, which kicks off in April next year.<\/p>\n Take That kicked things off with the release of brand new single Windows ahead of tickets for the 29-date tour being released.<\/p>\n Touring 15 cities across both Ireland and the UK, the trio will be joined by Olly Murs as a special guest star.<\/p>\n And true fans will be rewarded with an access code to pre-sale tickets if they pre-order This Life from the official store before 2pm on September 26.<\/p>\n
