T This Sunday, Mark Owen will set out on a solo tour of the UK - the first time he's hit the road without his Take That bandmates in nearly a decade.

Star says his shows will be a "celebration of my entire career" as he turns 50, looking back on his boy band debut, the hippie psychedelia of his debut solo album and even his "Tom Waits phase" in 2013.< /p>

But there are Take That songs he's afraid to put on the setlist.

"I couldn't play of course, because I had to do the dance moves," he laughs.

"It's the same with Pray. As soon as I hear Pray, my arms go up to the side," he says, involuntarily making the choreography while he talks.

"They come together, the moves and the songs. So I couldn't do them."

Owen speaks backstage at July's Latitude Festival where, yes, Sure and Pray are missing.

If his performance at Henham Park is anything to go by, his flagship shows are more likely to include today's Take That classics like Shine, Rule The World and These Days.
