Take That have today announced exciting news of a brand new, not yet heard song: ‘Love Love’. Adding further excitement into the mix comes with the revelation that the song will be featured in the much anticipated new X-Men blockbuster, X-Men First Class.
Fans will be able to download ‘Love Love’ on the May 11th and the song will receive its world premiere when the band perform the song live at the National Movie Awards in London on the same day.
'X-Men First Class', is directed by Matthew Vaughn and charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga before mutants had revealed themselves to the world. Vaughn also directed the 2007 hit movie, 'Stardust', and at the time, contacted Take That to ask them to write a song for the film. The band wrote the beautiful ‘Rule The World’ which went on to become one of their biggest selling singles of all time. Released in October 2007, it became the 5th biggest selling single of the year despite only being released two months before the end of the year and stayed in the top 10 for 12 weeks, the longest of any Take That song ever.
Take That begin their Progress Live 2011 tour on May 27th. The tour, one of the most highly anticipated music events of the summer, is the first time the band have toured as a five-piece since 1995. The spectacular live shows will celebrate their biggest hits from the last two decades and, will also see Robbie take to the stage to perform songs from his incredible chart-topping solo career.
Take That’s Progress Live 2011 tour became the biggest tour in UK and Irish history when a record breaking 1.34 million tickets were snapped up in less than 24 hours of going on sale. The band smashed their previous box office record set in 2008 with The Circus Live Tour more than doubling their own record for sales in a single day. 850,000 tickets went on sale at 9am on October 29, 2010 and throughout the day the band added a further 11 dates to cope with demand.
Between them, Take That and Robbie Williams have sold over 80 million albums, had 14 number one albums, 18 number one singles, played to over 14.5 million people live, won 20 BRIT Awards, eight MTV awards and five Ivor Novello awards; and the list goes on. Their critically acclaimed 2010 album, Progress, has now sold in excess of 2 million copies.
