Pet Shop Boys To Join Take That On Tour

admin Concerts & Tour

Take That’s Progress Live 2011 Tour kicks off towards the end of next month and, just when we thought we couldn’t take any more excitement, the most successful duo in UK music history have been announced as very special guests for the 37-date extravaganza… Pet Shop Boys, who Robbie collaborated with on his single She’s Madonna and Rudebox album track We’re The Pet Shop Boys, will be joining Take That on tour and, needless to say, Robbie is delighted: “I’m a huge Pet Shop Boys fan so for me it will be an absolute joy to be able to watch them every night.”

Speaking of the recent announcement, Pet Shop Boys said: “We are delighted to accept Take That’s invitation to be part of their Progress show and tour which is undoubtedly going to be one of the most exciting events of 2011. We look forward to every night being a huge celebration of pop music.”

They’ll be warming up the crowds with a 40-minute set which will include highlights of their recent Pandemonium tour and was designed by Es Devlin, who is also part of the creative team working on the Progress Live 2011 tour.

The duo have sold over 50 million records and scooped seven platinum, two gold and four silver albums in the UK alone. In 2009 they picked up the BRITs’ Outstanding Contribution To Music award, an accolade Robbie himself picked up the following year in 2010.

“Pet Shop Boys was the first CD I ever bought” said Gary. “I’ve followed their whole career and always loved their unique approach to records and live performance. That combined with two lovely people means we’re in for a great tour.” Jason added, “I’m flattered and very happy they’ve agreed to do it. They’re so talented; I thought they’d be above it and us.” Roll on May 27th, we can’t wait!

  • Your looking very distinguished, the publicists have no imagination at all…. so just a tad boring, even though i don’t believe for a minute you have become boring, not one bit….. the alien stuff was way over done….. over and over…

    hope your ok sincerely do… I am good… love menapause its great… I am so expressive emotionally and extra assertive, I realy have become a cougar, ready to pounce with my claws out, its good, i get this upsurge and i pounce, and I have a bit of giggle where the hell did that come from….. Hot flash i believe, fantastic love em,
    I can recomend nicotene patches and lozenges, not gum, but reality is that the brain may need some sort of supplement of nicotene indeffinatley, so dont worry if your struggling to kick it

    it stinks it really does, I am on the supplements and will ride it ……

    not telling you what to do or anything….

    Had this massive light bulb moment I attract psycopaths…. I really do… thats it simple..

    i dont think youre a psycopaths if you were, you’d still be popping in,

    Tysons doing great, I am getting on top of all the issues with my kids and have a new grandson

    I should have the family unit pulled back together soon…. hard work

    Its been really hard, really really hard,

    I am very gratefull to announce this mickey is over…..

    I am very pissed off within, i cant shake it…I think its just a part of me now,

    I dont think the wound has healed but at least i am more civil and am able to function sort of

    I sort of have to realise that there is no safe place, no real love, and everyone is really just out for themselves…. I think thats lonely, I had my sons so young i never got the chance THANKGOD, i am just very happy with
    my kids and of course i love my grandsons soooooooo much,, you nan must have loved you

    You got your dream and i got my mine……..

    I wanted to be a good mum and nanna, I had to do some psycotherapy on my self, back to the deveopmental state of age 9, that was my dream

    I didnt really have a another real dream,

    thanx for everything you did for me, I appreciate it sooooo much now i really do soooo much,, i am sorry too

    you know you confirmed for me how important just being a mum and a nan is, nothing else is more important. I hope my grandsons love me as much as you loved your nan I am going to be there for them as long as i can…… teach them to dream……

    I am finally getting back to simple pleasures,

    GOD is making me pure…..took is bloody time, it was hell Robbie john, it was it was it was, its been horrific and a nightmare…. and nothing has changed, howard isnt here,its not fixed, but at least I am back in gods good graces, my sanity is coming back, solitary does me good at all drove me insane, I am not around people who make me feel secure at all.

    I probably never will find my david or geoff again

    I just simply do not feel safe and secure in this world not at all…………

    I used to feel comfortable with you, I stopped feeling safe with you when Nigel and the record company stepped in, and take that were being horrible, and you couldnt do anything about it….. so its not your fault, I stopped feeling safe thats all and that really hurts because i loved you.

    To cut a long story short, what i was trying to say all these years

    I felt safe with you, and then i didnt and i am soooo psissed of hurt because I really liked feeling safe again for that very short time

    Glad you have conquered the world, good job

    it doesnt make me feel safe though……

    i still have the same plan same dream, family life with someone who loves me….

    obvioulsy i am doing something wrong

    you have said its the choices i make, but honelstly, I cant help chemistry or attraction, I wouldnt be so horrible to lie and use someone, thats not love

    Sadly I attract psycopaths….. the occasional narcisist……. sociopath same as psycopath really…..

    I must say you were different …… although you may be bordering on Narcissitic , but i am feeling its all in the normal range for who you are, rather than a disorder

    there is no disorder to either of us really we have both achieved our dreams, just not how we imagined it…….

    Iam just shattered that i have to accept that this will never be fixed none of it will ever be fixed……

    I think i have just run out of strength to hang on i have to let it go…. finally…..

    i will be really happy if all I do is care for my sons and grandsons….. I want so much for them, I just have to pray for that

    I have got so much love for them, so much, I did for you too…… suppose still do…..

    I just think its off tap and humiliating and degradign to give a shit about someone who does not. especially when that someone made fking T shirts I really did luv robbie

    The Past is Officially DEAD………….

    Tell Gary I remember when he thought the beetle stuff i used to talk about was crap and dribble

    not jsut a psyco dumb blonde after all

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx shine on your the best

  • ps Mitchell is not ok, but i have learnt to understand him and love him no matter what, its all my, its just all the shit that went down, i never figured him out in time, didnt see it,

    I have been blaming everyone for not leaving me alone and respecting my responsibilities and letting me and my sons suffer….

    but now I sort of see it differently… i have to trust god and thats it, and accept it and accept it well…. and with trust and without question….. What a fking handfull you lot have all been
