Mark Owen

As Mark Owen embarks on the next phase of his recording career, it's becoming clear that perhaps for the first time, everything that's passed before his eyes can now be included in his life as a pop singer. The terraced streets of Oldham where he grew up in a small council house can be in there. The euphoria and the unreality of his days in the original, best, and most loved British boy band, Take That, can be drawn on. He can use those years up at his Lake District home, spent talking to the wildlife and wrestling with songs. The insides, upsides and downsides can all go in there, and even the surreal madness of celebrity reality TV can be embraced and adapted.
