TAKE That get taken back to some of their best days at the premiere of a three-part series on them, starting on Netflix today.
Gary Barlow, 55, Mark Owen, 53, and Howard Donald, 57, admitted some of the footage was “moving” at Battersea Power Station cinema in London last night.
It tells of their rise, split and comeback. Gary said: “It’s very emotional.”
The trio also performed Back For Good and Shine.
It comes after Gary Barlow welcomes the Brit Awards moving to Manchester claiming the music industry is ‘not just about London’.
The annual British music awards ceremony will be hosted in the North West for the first time after being held in the capital for its near 50-year history.
Barlow said: “Manchester’s now such a place for media, we’ve got Media City there.
“People who were trained in like camera work were never trained in areas like that. So it’s such a massive thing for the country.
“It doesn’t surprise me at all the Brits are there, in fact it should have been there five years ago just because it’s not just about London, the music industry.
“In fact, London’s probably down the list you know, it’s so much regional talent.
“Look back in history and see where bands and artists have come from all over the country, not just in London.
On how to further spotlight regional talent, Barlow added: “I think we are.
“I think that’s one of the benefits of having an internet-based industry now, is that you can be anywhere. Doesn’t matter where you are.
“Even as artists working we can be anywhere. We can be songwriters and live anywhere now because the world’s a smaller place.”
Formed in 1989 in Manchester, Take That were originally made up of Barlow, Howard Donald, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Robbie Williams.
The band broke up in 1996 after Williams’ departure with the four remaining band members reuniting in 2005 until Orange left in 2014.
