Gary Barlow has hinted that Take That could be back on the road again sooner than expected.

Speaking to The Sun, the star said that although he is not sure what form their comeback will take, the band is ‘going nowhere’.
‘I don’t know what it will be yet, whether it’s a tour or album, or both even. But Take That are going nowhere,’ he added.
Take That last toured in 2019 to celebrate their 30th anniversary and the release of their greatest hits record.
Gary also told the paper that he hopes Take That will be able to embark on a similar tour upon their 40th anniversary.

Take That has been operating with three stars, Gary, 50, Mark Owen, 48, and Howard Donald, 50, since 2014 after Robbie Williams, 46, and Jason Orange, 50, left to focus on their music careers and personal lives.
The five singers originally formed the pop group in 1989 and went on to achieve 12 number one singles on the UK Singles Chart along with eight number one albums. They are currently the most successful boyband in UK chart history.
Robbie exited the band in 1995 and went on to have a number of solo hits including Rock DJ and Angels, while the remaining members announced their split a year later in 1996.

However, they reunited in 2006, minus Robbie, and achieved great success with their reunion tour.
The Rock DJ hitmaker returned once again in 2010 for their album, Progress.
However, he stepped away in 2014 to focus on becoming a father for the second time. Jason also decided to leave because he did not wish to continue touring.
Next week Gary can be seen on his BBC One show, I’m With The Band.
Crooner Sessions: Gary’s new show will see him singing a range of songs from different genres and eras with a number of popular artists including Craig David and Anne-Marie
Airing on June 4, Gary – who delighted fans with his crooner sessions during lockdown – will mimic the set up of his much-loved lockdown entertainment.
Gary’s Crooner Sessions saw him perform virtually with the likes of Cliff Richard, Jessie J and Niall Horan – to name a few.
The one-off show will see him joined by a band made up of several famous faces, including McFly’s Tom Fletcher and James Bay on guitar and vocals and Jamie Cullum on piano.
A number of popular artists, including Craig David, Anne-Marie, DJ Nathan Dawe and rapper Mostack, will also feature.
Discussing his new show, Gary said: ‘A key reason for me doing this show for BBC One was that I just wanted to get in a room with a load of people I love and respect and play music.
‘We’re aiming to give artists a platform and place where they can perform and have fun.
‘It’s simply a musical treat for everyone who loves watching the best musicians performing great songs from any genre and any decade.’
