Take That pay tribute to three eras of their history

Long-time fans of Take That would know about the British group's tumultuous history. Some members had problems with drugs, alcohol and mental health. Infighting and jealousy led to a near decade-long split.

Yet, amid those challenges, Take That, hailed as among Britain's most successful boy bands, have pulled through. They are now a trio with lead singer Gary Barlow and members Mark Owen and Howard Donald.

The British boy band's Singapore show is part of their This Life On Tour, which kicked off in Sheffield in April, and has travelled to places such as Madrid and Rome.

Since their last Singapore performance during a golf event on Sentosa in 2016, they have released two studio albums - Wonderland (2017) and This Life (2023).

During their 90-minute concert at The Star Theatre on Oct 28, Take That paid homage to three distinct periods of their history.
