Mark Owen is reportedly working on his first solo album in almost a decade.
It’s been nine years since the Take That star released ‘The Art Of Doing Nothing’ in 2013, but he’s set to return with new material this summer.
According to The Sun, Mark will use his slot at the Isle of Wight Festival in June to debut his latest tracks, with more gigs in the pipeline.
“Mark has had some free time during Covid while Take That have been on a break to think about what he wants to do next,” a source revealed.
“He has been writing some songs and they are sounding pretty good.
“It is early days but he is dipping his toe back in with his set at Isle of Wight Festival and is toying with the idea of another solo record.
“Nothing is nailed down, but given he has done a solo album every ten years or so for the last two decades, now feels like a nice time to think about it again.”
It comes amid a hiatus from Take That, during which time Gary Barlow has released two albums – ‘Music Played by Humans’ and ‘The Dream of Christmas’.
Howard Donald, meanwhile, has been continuing his career as a DJ.
