ARTICLES OCTOBER 2014 - Take That EXCLUSIVE: All the boys thought about calling it a day, admits Mark Owen - METRO.CO.UK

Mark Owen has admitted that every member of Take That considered quitting the band during a year of crisis.

But he said the group – which was hit by tax avoidance headlines and Jason Orange’s indecision about his future – decided making music was the only way out.

‘I think we’ve all, during this last year for many different reasons, hit places where we went “are we doing the right thing? Is this the right thing for us to do as a band?”’ Owen said.

‘So there has been lots going on around us. But making a record is kind of our comfort zone we’ve known since 17/18 years old.

‘That’s the bit where we can go, “I know what I am doing here”.’

As for the ultimate curtain call for Take That, the 42-year-old promised fans it would be a very long goodbye.

‘I think we would need to prepare ourselves [if we split],’ he said. ‘It would be too much of a shock to our system if it happened now.

‘We need to give ourselves at least three or five years’ notice to prepare. We need to wind down and do it properly. It can’t be a quick cut off.’
