Men Of The Year > Current Results> Band: Take That

Take That - Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald - are the biggest band in Britain. Since their 2006 comeback after a decade in the wilderness, they have sold close to five million albums. The Circus, released last December, topped the charts for five weeks. The Circus live show was the fastest-selling tour in UK history. The Wembley concerts alone are a staggering achievement. No other group - not U2, not Coldplay, not Oasis - attempted to sell more than three nights there this year. If nostalgia accounted for the immediate success of their return, then it's something else that is sustaining this second act in the life of the nation's favourite former boy band.

"Our story is too complicated to sum up in a few lines," says Gary. "If we'd tried to plan it like this it would never have happened."

Take That were named band of the moment at last night's GQ Men Of The Year Awards.
The awesome foursome stole the show when they were presented with their special gong by John Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono.

But just as the comeback kings were celebrating their latest accolade, Lily Allen hijacked the limelight by tottering off with the woman of the year prize.

In fact, guests could be forgiven for thinking it was actually ladies night at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden as a bevy of beauties were on hand to dish out the gongs.

Party princess Daisy Lowe stepped up to the plate to hand Giles Deacon the best designer prize just days before London Fashion Week kicks off.

TV beauty and model Kelly Brook dished out the best comedian prize to Michael McIntyre.

Veteran clothes horse Liz Hurley took centre-stage to give the most stylish man award to Little Britain comic David Walliams.

And Eva Mendes gave the best actor gong to Michael Sheen and The Wrestler actor, Mickey Rourke, who was hailed GQ's international man.

Less glamorous yet equally captivating, Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans was on hand to present the best entrepreneur prize to Matthew Freud.

Holiday rapper Dizzee Rascal swooped in to steal the best solo artist prize.

And Sherlock Holmes director Guy Ritchie nabbed himself some rare film recognition when he was gifted the Alfred Dunhill film-maker prize.

A bevy of beauties dished out the awards.

YOKO ONO has given her blessing to TAKE THAT as the UK's new Fab Four.
JOHN LENNON's widow revealed she is a big fan of the man band - and named their No1 Shine as her favourite track.

GARY BARLOW, MARK OWEN, HOWARD DONALD and JASON ORANGE met Yoko on stage at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, London, as she presented them with the gong for Best Band.

Beaming Yoko said: "I love Shine. I know most of their greatest hits. They're a great British band."

And the feeling's mutual.

Mark said: "It's amazing that Yoko thinks that about our music. It is an honour to accept an award from her."

The pat on the back from Yoko at last night's bash comes after Gary and Co have been holed up in Abbey Road Studios for two days working on a secret project.

The lads have just returned from a three-month break and met up on Monday at the famous London studios where THE BEATLES recorded almost all their famous hits.

A new live DVD is being released in time for Christmas documenting Take That's sold-out Circus UK tour.

The DVD will also feature a bonus disc of the band playing hits in the world-famous Studio Two at Abbey Road - where hits including Hey Jude were recorded.

Just so you know, Gary is on piano, Mark on bass, Jason on guitar and Howard on drums.

Speaking just before the GQ bash, Gary said: "It's been absolutely amazing in Abbey Road.

"The place just has an aura about it. There's so much history about it. I'd love to record our next album there."

All of the lads are relishing being back in the studio after their well-deserved break.

Jason said: "We've had a great holiday and now it's back to work."

And Howard told me: "I did some DJing in Ibiza so I haven't had as long a holiday as the other guys but it's good to be back. I've played a bit of golf but I'm not ready to take you on yet, Smarty."

Gary also revealed he has had a listen to old bandmate ROBBIE WILLIAMS' new album Reality Killed The Video Star - and loved it.

He said: "I've heard Robbie's album. I think it's great.

"I can hear TREVOR HORN's influence on it. I would buy anything that guy does.

"Rob's music still has an Eighties electronic feel but it sounds fresh."

That sounds like a seal of approval to me.

Марковкин у него перенял "языковую атаку".

У Ховы такой взгляд местами романтичный...

А Гаря опять в своем имидже примерного семьянина.

Ари, точно)))
Гари на этих фото такой серьёзный, респектабельный, даже как-то непривычно видеть его таким "застёгнутым на все пуговицы".
Зато Джейка - вот воображуля! Прелесть!

I ran a thousand miles to be by your side...

The guys are SO HOT! Jason is just killing me with his smile!
