Take That formed in 1989 and have achieved 12 number one singles on the UK Singles Chart as well as eight number one albums and are currently the most successful boy band in UK chart history.
The original line-up included Robbie, who left the band in 1995 and forged a phenomenally successful solo career. The group disbanded a year later.
In 2006 the band – without Robbie – reunited and again enjoyed great success.
Robbie returned to the band in 2010 for the new Progress album but quit once in 2014.
