‘Hurt' Howard Donald on the real reason Jason Orange quit Take That
ok.co.ukTake That's Howard Donald has spoken out about Jason Orange's 2014 exit from the band, revealing that he felt "hurt" by his decision to leave.
The 55-year-old opened up about his music career and the band's highs and lows in BBC Two's Reel Stories alongside remaining Take That members Gary Barlow and Mark Owen.
Addressing Jason's departure, Howard said that his bandmate had wanted to "draw a line" under the big 2011 reunion tour with Robbie Williams. "We were adults and we spoke a lot about everything but there was no changing his mind.
He wanted to distance himself from everything really,” Howard adds. “I felt quite hurt by it - but at the same time, I really understood it.” Meanwhile, Mark added: "If I go back now, us all being back in a room together was probably Jason’s dream." The BBC Two programme, hosted by Dermot O'Leary, sees the Take That trio look back at the band's journey, from the early days of performing in school assemblies to their decision to part ways in 1996 after Robbie Williams' exit.
