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.

(I can empathize with him wanting to get out of the limelight--I'd never trade their wealth for the sort of fishbowl lives they must lead--even while I'm still sad that it means I won't get to see him live.)
::sigh::
(And on a purely selfish note, I'm now contemplating whether I have the stomach to complete the 7,000+ word AU I've been working on all summer. ::sigh again::)
