The health of their idols is obviously very dear to the fans of British pop band Take That. There is no other way to explain why they present the presenters with completely different presents than in the 1990s.

"Once upon a time teddy bears, they now bring sacks of kale or avocados to keep us healthy on the way," said Gary Barlow in Berlin.

The band had their breakthrough ahead of Facebook and Twitter, but on social media they see a lot of good. "It brings you closer to your audience, that's one of the great things," Barlow said.

Take That and her Fans: Green Gifts

This year, the group will be touring Europe. She also stops in Dusseldorf (15 June), Berlin (20 June), Hamburg (24 June) and Frankfurt am Main (25 June). Already the first foreign tour had led the boy band to the Federal Republic. "The first place we visited as a band outside of the UK was Germany," said Mark Owen.

The 47-year-old and the other two remaining Take-That co-founders Howard Donald and Gary Barlow were in Berlin at the beginning of April to present the take-that musical "The Band". The play premieres this Thursday at the Theater des Westens. Take That is considered one of the most successful British bands ever.
