Take That considered changing their name to 'The English'

Take That came close to renaming themselves ‘The English’ to correspond with their revamped sound, they have revealed.

The British quintet felt their more electro-influenced tunes written for comeback album ‘The Progress’, which is due out next month, were such a departure from their back catalogue they may have needed a new name.

They later decided against the idea.

“I’m guessing that the initial idea of not being called Take That freed Gary up,” the recently rejoined Robbie Williams told Q magazine.
