If Radio One haven’t already rammed the fact down your throats already, Take That’s new single will be called Greatest Day, and it will be played to the nation tomorrow morning on the Chris Moyles radio show.

The song will be played some time around 8:15am.

If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you’ll know exactly how much radio releases annoy me. They’re soooo old fashioned. But, considering how much the missus likes the buggers, we might just tune in ourselves for a quick listen.

Pop back here later and tell us if it’s any better than Rule The World.

Take That singer, Howard Donald has been advised to step up his security after receiving many letters from a stalker.

The hunk of burning love is reportedly being followed around the country by a woman named Kendra and is contemplating hiring Beyonce’s old bodyguard, Shorty.

A source told The Daily Star: “It started several months back when she started sending him letters telling him she was his future wife.

“This woman went everywhere the band did – and she literally turned up at every hotel where the band were staying on tour.

“Lately she has become really nasty and some of the things she says in her letters are plain evil.

“As well as threats to kill if she doesn’t get her own way, she writes all sorts of kinky stuff that she wants to do to Howard. It’s like she is completely fixated with him.”

Crap…maybe I should have been more subtle in my letters….what do you think guys?

After a couple of decades of smug swaggering, Robbie Williams has finally had to apologise to his nemesis and former Take That manager, Nigel Martin Smith.

Well, I say apologise, but a court ordered apology isn’t really a genuine apology at all, is it? Besides, Robbie didn’t actually make the apology himself, did he? No. He got a spokesman to do the dirty work on his behalf, with the following statement:

Robbie Williams wishes to make it clear to his fans, and the public at large, that he did not intend these lyrics to be taken at face value. Specifically, Robbie Williams did not intend to allege that Nigel Martin Smith has ever stolen any funds from Take That or anyone… he wishes now to apologise publicly and unreservedly for the distress that the original publication of those lyrics caused to Nigel.

I think the £500,000 quid compensation might be a more meaningful gesture to the multi-millionaire music mogul.

And in other Robbie news…

It has truly been a bad week for old Rob. Not only did he have a marginally humiliating insincere apology to issue, but his mother waded in to say that he might rejoin Take That at some point.

Nothing more embarrassing than your Mum jumping in and making career decisions for you. Especially in the national press.

Maybe it’s time Robbie took some of that humble pie at the top of the page.

As Take That open their Beautiful World tour in the O2 arena, they have revealed that they will not be touring next year, as they fear the public may grow sick of them.

“We are still thinking of doing another album but we won’t tour next year,” Mark Owen told the Daily Star. “We don’t want people to think: ‘OK, we welcomed you back, but that’s enough now’.”

Jason Orange added: “It’s brilliant when the tickets go on sale, but then you have to deal with the reality of so long on the road. It’s exhausting, and was so much more so without Howard. The New Year’s Eve gig we have at the 02 [Arena] might be our last. We have to talk.”

They had better talk! I understand them not wanting to tour next year, but I will be devastated if they decide never to tour again……how else can I relive my youth?

Anti-drug campaigners have blasted Take That singer, Howard Donald for his “irresponsible” attitude towards drugs.

The popstar recently said: “I know it’s a touchy subject. But if more people went out stoned than drunk – which a lot of people are on the weekend – I think there would be less fighting, less trouble and less violence.”

Responding to the singer’s comments, Gail McCann of Mothers Against Drugs told The Sun: “Anyone who tells you cannabis is perfectly safe is talking rubbish. It can cause psychosis and paranoia.

“I’d like Take That to see the work we do and ask if they’d like to donate some of the millions they earn to drug treatment.”

Can’t breath….can’t talk……Oh My God!!!

As we have previously reported, Take That’s Howard Donald has had to pull out of a number of European concerts due to a recent chest injury. But he made a brief appearance on the Hamburg stage last night, thanking fans for all their messages of support and promising to return soon.

Howard was dressed only in a hospital gown and as he turned to leave the stage we were greeted by the sight of his heavenly bare bum wiggling up the stairs. Catch the clip below…..

How cute! Take Thatter Howard Donald has missed a few shows in the Take That tour due to a recent chest injury.

But to make up for not being on stage in Vienna, Howard recorded a rather sweet little message for the fans, which you can see below.

Don’t worry all you Howard fans out there as he hopes to rejoin the band in Hamburg later this week.

Take That have had to appear in their latest concert as a three piece after Howard Donald sustained a chest injury on stage. Howard is thought to have developed a collapsed lung after performing a double back flip, proving that age really does matter!

Howard has insisted that the band carry on their shows in the Beautiful World tour without him and vows to return as soon a possible.

He said: “I’m really upset this happened, I’ve never had to miss a show before.”

As the band took to the stage in Vienna last night, Gary Barlow told fans: “Howard would love to be here. We hope you don’t go home disappointed.”

Britain’s biggest come-back band Take That told Jonathan they would still like Robbie back in last week’s edition of Friday Night With Jonathan Ross on BBC One.

Asked about their relationship with him, Jason said: “Out of all of us I was the most hopeful.” “We all know he’s got a good heart,” adds Howard. “We still love him, but we’d have to spend time with him, see what his personality’s like now.” “The door’s always open,” said Gary.

They also talked about the inclusion of Gary’s wife Dawn on the tour: “We’ve got a lot of female dancers to impress!” said Howard, who gets to dance with her. “I trust them all!” says Gary. Read more & comment »

Here it is! The first live footage from the Beautiful World, Take That tour.

As I have already mentioned, we were at the opening show in Belfast and the crowds response to the band was phenomenal! If you listen to this clip of Take That performing Shine, you will be lucky to hear the boys sing at all. All those Take That fans really know their stuff!
