Take That Not The Supple Young Men They Once Were

Poor old Take That; first Robbie refused to join in the reunion fun, now they’re having to suffer the indignity of becoming a “man band”, as they’re certainly not the lithe blokes who were doing ab rolls all over the beach in the Pray video clip.

Poor old Howard Donald injured himself while attempting some showy moves in concert, and the rest of the “boys” – yes, all three of them – are keeping the fires burning and doing it for Howard, if you will.

Howard Donald ended up with a collapsed lung after doing the splits on stage last week.

But the show must go on.

Gary Barlow, Jason Orange and Mark Owen soldiered on without Howard on stage in Zurich on Saturday night.

Without Howard’s breakdancing the other lads will themselves have a lung-bursting shift to keep the European tour going.

A collapsed lung from breakdancing? Bless! Soon they’ll be finding mystery cuts and bruises on their arms and scalps and muttering aloud, “I wonder where I got that?” while looking for the ultimate in soft yoghurt.
