Take That have a “telepathic” bond, according to Gary Barlow.

The trio – also starring Mark Owen and Howard Donald – have been performing together for over 30 years, with the singer-songwriter insisting that the boys, along with former members Robbie Williams and Jason Orange, have an innate bond.

“When we get on that stage, there’s a telepathy that we have as a band – where we always have each other in our peripheral vision,” he says (via Daily Star’s Wired column).

“As Mark moves, and Howard moves, I know where I need to be – there’s an invisible line that keeps us all together. We’ve been a three-piece for 10 years now, so it’s what we’ve got used to.

“It is always the same, even before when we were a five or a four-piece. “That bond even comes out when we are just sitting in a room together. It feels normal, and like home.”

The band – who recently released the new single You And Me – will play 38 shows across the UK, which continue through June. European shows continue through July, before the band heads Down Under in October and November.

Mid-way through October, they’ll head to Malta between October 17 and 20 for the event, which will feature live concerts and nightclub events, including two headline sets from the band and other huge artists, who will perform in an intimate environment with a full scale production.

Alongside a greatest hits set, Take That will also perform their iconic second album ‘Everything Changes’ (1993) – featuring singles such as Pray, Relight My Fire and Babe – in full.

Joining the iconic trio across the four-day festival, Sugababes, Ella Henderson,  Gok Wan, Sam Ryder, Daniel Bedingfield, Heather Small and more yet to be announced.
