Last month he teased fans eagerly waiting for new Take That music and tour by revealing that he was on his way to a meeting with his bandmates. Take That, who became a trio following the departure of Jason Orange in 2014, said: "Will be great again to see the boys as I’m on my way for a @takethatmeeting plus one with a record company.
