Take That

Gary Barlow
has confirmed that Take That will record a new album in 2013.

The X Factor judge has told The Mirror the man-band will return to the studio in February, with the hope of their latest effort hitting shops by the end of next year.
Barlow explained: "I have got a lot of Take That stuff next year and then, hopefully, a tour the year after. A new studio album feels right for us, it has always been in our minds.MTV
"The band cycles are obvious. Everyone wanted a year off this year, and now everybody can't wait to get back into the studio in February and that is what we are going to do. So, hopefully, an album for Christmas and a tour the following year."
He continued: "Mark [Owen's] solo album is out next year. I was talking to him about it earlier today, and he's very excited about it.
"Then at the end of 2013, there'll be a Take That album. We're far from over. We're all creative, we're singers and songwriters. There's plenty left in us, don't worry."
It is currently unknown whether Robbie Williams will return to record another TT record, with the Candy singer instead announcing plans for a 2013 solo stadium tour.
