Take That fans treated to intimate concert
Take That performed a special gig in London for just 300 fans.
The band performed at the world-famous Abbey Road studios in London last night, where the intimate concert was recorded for Radio Two.
And Mark Owen joked: “For the benefit of our radio listeners – we’re all singing naked.”
The foursome – Owen, Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Jason Orange – sang new single Patience and songs from their new album.
And they drew screams from the female audience when they performed old hits Pray, Back For Good and Never Forget.
In tribute to the venue’s history, they finished with a Beatles medley.
The band has made a triumphant comeback in the past year with a sell-out tour.
Patience is heading for number one this Sunday and the album is predicted to top the charts this Christmas.
Barlow told the audience: “This really was not planned, none of this.
“It’s been a real surprise to all of us – the nicest surprise of my life.”
He added: “It’s been so great to come back. It has given us a chance to make music again, and to see all the faces smiling back at us at our gigs is just great.”
The evening was hosted by Radio Two DJ Dermot O’Leary and will be broadcast on Saturday at 8pm.
