Previously unseen photos of Take That are to be published in a new book telling the group's story.

Penguin is to release the two-volume book, which will cover the boyband's formation in 1990 to the present day, in autumn.

Specially-commissioned new photography and text written by the band will also feature, reports PA.

A spokesman said that the idea had been a long-term ambition for the group. "They're really looking forward to producing what will be a fantastic collector's piece featuring imagery spanning almost two decades, along with comment which is both honest and personal," he said. Take That will be touring their number one album 'The Circus' in stadiums across the UK in June and July ahead of the book's launch.
