One of the best boy bands in the world is explored in a new documentary on Netflix that is both honest and unflinching.
Fans of Take That are looking forward to the release of Netflix’s upcoming documentary series which tells the remarkable story of the UK’s most iconic boy band.
The three-part series goes behind the scenes with Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Mark Owen, Jason Orange, and Robbie Williams as they reveal their personal experiences in the band that would change their lives for the better, and for the worse.
Some of the band’s members experienced harrowing effects after the band’s first split in February 1996, which attracted millions of fans, sold out shows, and topped the charts.
The stars shared their personal experiences with the band’s ups and downs, including Howard, who has openly admitted to being close to taking his own life, through 35 years of rare archive, never-before-seen footage.
The band members are reportedly talking about the “emotional month” they have had since giving their final live performance in front of a crying audience in the documentary, which airs on January 27.
Then, one member is heard saying, “How do we do this? There wasn’t really time for us to sit down and work out.” Everything was happening in real time.
In a last-ditch effort to capture the band before they left for their own ends, hysterical fans encircled a hotel in Amsterdam where the band had been staying.
Gary was heard saying: “There was something in the air on that last day, it felt real all of a sudden. Our world had come to a close and I wasn’t sure, there was something that wasn’t right.”
Howard shared that he had found the split to be the most difficult to understand, “because I was thinking, Well, what am I going to do now?”
His previous job before joining the band was to “be a popstar,” and I’m only taught that. So it hit me very hard.
You leave for home and you start to doubt yourself because, despite being the oldest, everyone else did, and I feel like the only one who didn’t.
Everyone observed what was happening and made plans for the end, while I had a dream that it would continue to go on.
The footage then shows Howard, who appeared to be crying and then appeared to be wiping his eyes after falling asleep.
He continued, “I wasn’t very clever when I was in school. I was a nobody really. I never, ever had a dream of being successful and I didn’t go to college.
“Being on that stage, I never imagined I would be anything,” said one participant.
Howard felt himself slipping into “a depressive state” as his dream career was being cut off, sharing: “I decided to go to the Thames.
I was seriously considering jumping into the Thames at the time, thinking I’d killed myself, but I’m just too s***t. “
The band’s tenth studio album is being recorded with the help of Gary, Mark, and Howard, and they are scheduled to tour this summer while playing The Circus Live.
On January 27, Take That will be available on Netflix.
