But the band’s followers were distracted from the announcement, by Mark’s very different appearance, as he had previously adopted a moustache and long hair in recent years (pictured in June right)
Mark waved his arms enthusiastically and said: ‘Stream it now. Turn up your speakers. See you soon.’
But the band’s followers were distracted from the announcement, by Mark’s very different appearance.
The singer had previously shocked fans in 2022, by adopting a moustache and long hair while promoting his solo album.
Appearing on BBC Breakfast, host Sally Nugent couldn’t help but probe Mark about his makeover.
Referring to his Take That days, she asked: ‘Actually, you look different. The moustache, how long has that been there?’
Mark replied: ‘It’s been there for about four years probably. It started off as a beard and then my beard got a bit patchy on this side. Then we were going on tour, and beards can get a bit sweaty on tour…’
He continued: ‘So then it became a moustache and it sort of stuck. My children keep threatening to cut it off, they’re like, ‘Can we just…?’
Explaining his reasoning for wanting to keep the moustache, he commented: ‘I’ve done my artwork. I can’t change the look! I’ve done the video. I can’t change my look now.’

But the musician, who has long been known as the ‘cute one’ in the band, has apparently decided to change things up again (pictured in 1992)

He appeared to have trimmed his long hair and shaven his moustache right off, as he beamed in the video, while sporting a checked shirt and backwards baseball cap.
Fans couldn’t help but notice and flooded the comments with praise for Mark’s new look, declaring he looked ‘younger and better’ and much like he did in the band’s heyday in the 1990s.
They wrote: ‘Mark looks so much better, and younger, without that moustache, well done for getting rid of it; Just adore mark’s hairless face!!!!!!!’
‘I’m getting 90s vibes from Mr Owen with that look; Mark, you look so much younger and better without the beard!’
‘There he is, the Mark I like and remember. He looks so youthful. Looking forward to the tour. Yeah, the other 2 look alright as well; Mark looks awesome with the new look’.
‘You’ve knocked 30 years off! Looking amazing all of you. Can’t wait for the tour xx❤️; Mark looks so much better and younger.’
‘Mark! It’s like back to the 90’s! You look like you have come straight off my bedroom wall; Mark looks far better without the porn stache.’
