Gutted by a Boy Band

przedGot 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.

But he was such an essential part of the band, especially during interviews, that I'm afraid you're right that it's really going to hit again once the promo starts.
