Take That decided to continue as a trio after Jason announced his decision to depart the band back in 2014. In a statement announcing the news, he wrote: "At a band meeting last week I confirmed to Mark, Gary and Howard that I do not wish to commit to recording and promoting a new album.

"There have been no fallings out, only a decision on my part that I no longer wish to do this… I know how much Mark, Gary and Howard enjoy writing and making music, and they know that they have my full support and encouragement to continue on with what is to be another chapter for the band."
