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.

At least I can feel a bit more rational about it, put things in perspective etc. It's still heartbreaking but not as "My entire world is collapsing" as it felt when Robbie left (I was 13 then and with no internet, it was just easy to believe the happy image they had at the time...).

I hope he'll be happy now and that this was the right decision for him. I'll miss him so much and I really hope they'll bring it around full circle, another album, another tour and then ending it in a beautiful way, if they end it.

Even when I was at my weepiest yesterday, I didn't have the my entire world is collapsing feeling either, thankfully. Though I did keep getting funny looks from my husband. And an Irish co-worker who's also a Thatter came my to make sure I hadn't gone off the rails. *g*

I am very much looking forward to the new album, and a tour. And yes, if they decide to put the band to bed, I expect they'll do it in a classy way.
