Take That fans spot secret trick band used to remember lyrics to their ‘worst song’ at opening night of tour
TAKE That once vowed they will Never Forget but they needed a reminder of one of their oldest songs on their tour’s opening night.
The veteran boyband had a teleprompter for the lyrics as they belted out I Found Heaven.
Fans spotted the machine as singers Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald performed on Saturday at Sheffield’s Utilita Arena.
It is no surprise they may have forgotten about I Found Heaven, which was from their debut album and peaked at No 15 in 1992.
Gary, 53, once said the song — not written by them — was “f*g awful” and their worst “by a huge margin”.
The prompter also had a prepared address about the band’s beginnings, reading: “Manchester back in the late ’80s, early ’90s was definitely the place to be.”
Take That’s latest album, This Life, is their ninth to hit No 1.
One fan said: “With so many great hits, it’s no wonder they need to be reminded.”
Former bandmate Robbie Williams, 50, also used a teleprompter at the Brits in 2017.
Take That’s 41-date UK tour kicked off with 12,000 supporters turning out to listen to their whopping 29-song set.
The tour has sold 700,000 tickets, with most of the gigs selling out in just minutes.
They are not the only artists to need some lyrical assistance on stage.
Superstar Beyonce, 42, also used one on her Renaissance tour last year.
