A source close to the band said the remaining three members would have been happy for their former bandmate to return
We’re all still devastated about the news we brought you last week, that Jason Orange has quit Take That.
But none are more upset than the Take That boys themselves.
This week, Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald had their first studio session since announcing they were becoming a trio – but the studio door was left open for Jason to return.
At the 11th hour, with no sign of Jason, the boys have come to terms with cementing themselves as a three piece. Blub!
Our source says: “The boys are obviously still incredibly close, and even though the statements went out last week, if Jason had wanted to come back and rejoin his bandmates, he would have been very welcome – and that was made clear to him.
"They have so much history together, and as final touches were being put on the new record, Jason could have been added to the tracks as they’ll be working on them all next week.
“He has been adamant he wanted to break away from the group since the last tour, he just grew tired of all the fame. He started to resent it.
"It’s been such a difficult decision everyone wanted to let him know he could always come back – even a week after quitting.
"They’re committed to moving forward as a trio but the door will always be open for Jason.”
Last week, Jason said in a statement: “I have spent some of the best years of my life with Take That and I’d like to thank everyone who has been a part of my journey, including my bandmates, who I feel are like brothers to me.”
He added: “There have been no fallings out, only a decision on my part that I no longer wish to do this.”
In a statement the rest of the group said: “Jason’s energy and belief in what this band could achieve made it what it is today, and we’ll be forever grateful for his enthusiasm, dedication and inspiration over the years.”
