Take That wow the NEC
Friday 16th November 2007, 9:05AM GMT.
Thousands of screaming fans greeted Take That as they took to the stage at the NEC for the British leg of their world tour.
More than 14,000 boy band lovers flocked to the gig to see the group perform, as they returned from a stint of concerts across Europe.
Mark Owen said: “It’s good to be back on home soil.”
The foursome were complete again after Howard Donald joined the boys on stage, following a break from the Beautiful World Tour after suffering a punctured lung.
He said: “I am going to partake in the dancing. I’m going to see how it holds out. I think it will be OK. The doctor said it should be OK. I am so happy to be back in the UK.”
Take That classic, Relight My Fire, was accompanied by a dramatic display of flames onstage as the group walked across a bridge suspended above the crowd.

Gaynor your obviously not a take that fan then! I think your the one to get a life, whats wrong with 30 somethings having fun. Just switch the light back on in your darkened room that you are sitting in to brighten up your mood. NUMPTY!

You should get a life. Whatever is wrong with people enjoying themselves? It is cynics like you that cause most of the misery in this country.

I’m a 28yr old man who is going on Monday night with his 33 year old fiance, should be good. I believe i’ll be out having a good time while a certain someone who apparently has a life will be watching the soaps.
