An entire generation grew up on the music of the English pop band Take That, which achieved success and sold over 45 million records worldwide. The UK's biggest boys band formed in Manchester in 1990 was initially made up of five members including Gary Barlow, Robbie Williams, Howard Donald, Mark Owen, and Jason Orange. Though Robbie Williams and Jason Orange left the band, Take That continues to perform as a three-piece. Thirty-three years later, the group songs "Back for Good" and "Never Forget" are stuck in fans’ heads and they wonder what the members are doing now.
