Gutted by a Boy Band

[przed]

Got home from seeing a Cirque du Soleil show with the family to find the news that Jason Orange has quit Take That.



I've been suspecting this might happen for a while, and also suspecting that I'd be a teary mess when it did, and I was right on both counts.

TT has been the fandom of my heart for a while now, and I've been looking forward to seeing them in concert pretty much since I stumbled into the fandom. I'm sad that when they tour next year--and I still do want to see them when they tour next year--that it will be without Jason.

I immediately thought of you when I heard the news......why do good things always have to change?

All things must change, but I was surprised at how gutted I feel. Especially since, if we're all honest, this news has been expected for a while. (Of all of them, Jason has clearly been the least comfortable with the fame the band forced upon him.)
