Perhaps hinting at his future plans for his upcoming show, Gary recently revealed he would love to launch an A-List supergroup and has his sights set on the likes of the Spice Girls, Chris Martin and Little Mix as some of his potential members.
The Take That star quipped that he hopes to repeat the success of 80s supergroup Traveling Wilburys, which consisted of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty.
Speaking to Chris Evans for his How to Wow podcast, Gary said: ‘You write for two weeks in a studio in Nashville, take it on the road for six months… it’d be brilliant. I’d love that.’
Gary suggested that he could call the band Group Therapy, and later revealed that his dream line-up includes Andy Burrows and some of the members of the girl groups Spice Girls, Sugababes and Little Mix.
It came after Gary confirmed he believes Take That will reunite as the original five-piece, as he called the band his ‘safe haven’.
The boyband has been operating with three stars, Gary, 50, Mark Owen, 48, and Howard Donald, 50, since 2014 after Robbie Williams, 46, and Jason Orange, 50, left to focus on their music careers and personal lives.
The five singers originally formed the pop group in 1989 and went on to achieve 12 number one singles on the UK Singles Chart along with eight number one albums . They are currently the most successful boyband in UK chart history.
Robbie exited the band in 1995 and went on to have a number of solo hits including Rock DJ and Angels, while the remaining members announced their split a year later in 1996.
However, they reunited in 2006, minus Robbie, and achieved great success with their reunion tour.
The Rock DJ hitmaker returned once again in 2010 for their album, Progress.
However, he stepped away in 2014 to focus on becoming a father for the second time. Jason also decided to leave because he did not wish to continue touring.
