It's the worst Take That news since Jason Orange left the band: they're not doing a 25th-anniversary tour.
First of all, 25 YEARS, we feel seriously old; and second, everyone does a big anniversary tour - it's like a rule or something.
However, the band confirmed that they won't be doing the tour that we all assumed they would and that we've been practising the 'Pray' dance routine for nothing.
"There's no anniversary tour next year," Gary told The Sun.
"We've had two record labels in our time and I know they're talking about doing some kind of commemorative big box set of all the music around Christmas.
"But we can definitely tell you there are no plans for touring next year."

We'd even got our hopes up that current members Gary, Howard Donald and Mark Owen would join up with former members Jason and Robbie Williams for another big show.
Well, at least they are welcome back to the band whenever they like.
"It has been left on a good note and it's an open door for Jay and Rob," Gary recently said. "This band is for us all to come and go as we please."
But you never know, with attention already turning to the band's 30th anniversary in 2022, maybe we'll see all five of them back together and recording new music then.
