Jason Orange's departure from 'Take That' huge loss, say bandmates

'Take That' band-mates Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen recently expressed that Jason Orange's departure would be a "huge loss" for the band.

Orange announced that he would not be recording a new album with the band and it was not due to a "falling out" with his band-mates, BBC reported. The 44-year-old also mentioned that he had spent some of the best years of his life with them.

The original band formed in 1990 then split up in 1996. In 2005, four of the five members reunited and made a successful comeback. Robbie Williams, the fifth founder member briefly rejoined in 2010.
