The future of Take That is said to be uncertain after Mark Owen checked-in to rehab following his admission of an alcohol addiction and a number of affairs.

According to Heat, sources close to the band have confirmed that the future of the band is “on hold” while Owen resolves his personal problems.

However, one claimed: “Mark is in rehab, so they can’t continue recording without him. There’s no more to it than that. As it stands, they’re not going to split, but we’ll have to wait and see.

“The boys are supposed to be releasing new material at the end of the year and that’ll hopefully still happen. While you can never say never, Take That as a band are very much looking forward to the future and there’s no real reason why the band can’t continue.”

They added: “Admittedly, things are a bit up in the air with Mark in rehab. All the boys are sticking by him – they’re there for both him and Emma and are determined to support him through this.

“Mark is very much a part of the Take That family, and once he’s addressed his demons the band can move forward.”
