Take That frontman Gary Barlow says there will be some unique "one-off" duets at the Children In Need concert he's organising.
The singer is putting together a charity show at the
Royal Albert Hall in London in November featuring some of the biggest
names in UK music, including Muse, Sir Paul McCartney and Take That
themselves.
Speaking to Chris Moyles, who will host the gig,
Barlow said each act would be doing two songs but there would be also
be "three or four one-off duets that have never been seen before."
When asked about the possibility of Dizzee Rascal
partnering with Dame Shirley Bassey he teasingly replied: "I'm saying
nothing, but make sure you're there."
Other names on the bill include Snow Patrol, Leona Lewis, Lily Allen, Cheryl Cole, Mika and Katherine Jenkins.
Barlow, who's now back at work following the
unexpected death of his father two weeks ago, said he was surprised to
get such a strong line-up for the concert.
"I wrote a list and sat there thinking, 'Right, if
we can get half of this we'll be lucky', and every single person has
agreed to do it.
"It's great. That's testament to the charity
itself, people do love Children In Need. It is going to be a brilliant
night and a bit of a one-off I think."
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will also add to
the occasion by accompanying all the acts, in what Barlow described as
a showcase of the best in UK music.
Elephant ride
The 38-year-old
said after their record-breaking Circus tour, Take That were "not
really doing much at the moment", but that their studio return wouldn't
be far off.
Take That's Circus played to more than a million people this summer
"We're
starting our new record soon and we want a bit of a break now before
any new music... It takes a good nine to 12 months to make an album."
The band's summer tour had exceeded their
expectations, Barlow said. But he admitted he didn't appreciate the
scale of the show - with its accompanying circus performers - until
watching the band's upcoming live DVD.
"I was like, 'What's that going on behind us? I
never knew that.' It's amazing! This other show just energises and you
think 'Wow!'
"The best bit for us four was when that elephant
goes up and you're like 20 metres above the whole stadium. It was hard
not to smile at that point."
He also said the boys were looking forward to Mark
Owen's wedding next weekend. The singer is preparing to marry his
long-term fiancée Emma Ferguson, with whom he already has two children
Barlow remained tight-lipped about the event, but
did admit the boys gave their bandmate a good send-off: "The stag do
was good... it was grown-up messy," he joked.
mas nota-se que o Gary está abatido....coitado....ele nem pode parar completamente para chorar a morte do pai.....
Mas por um lado é bom, assim não pensa tanto nisso. Ainda tem o sorriso escondido!
Aos poucos vai recuperando! Queria ver um video desta entrevista pra ver como está
a cena da flor é qq coisa da cultura deles.... os tipos da sky news usam imenso... deve ser em dias específicos. Tipo, a gente e os cravos vermelhos, sei lá!
