Their album of the same name, This Life, released in 2023, scored the band their 12th Number One album in the UK, spawning massive hits including Windows and This Life.
The band also curated their very own four-day festival in Malta in October – The Greatest Weekend, where they performed their iconic album Everything Changes live, in its entirety for the first time since its release in 1993.
Aside from his achievements with Take That, he has also co-written and produced music for other renowned artists including Dame Shirley Bassey, Sir Elton John and Robbie Williams, and most recently, he wrote the song Running Wild for JIN from Korean super group, BTS.
