Take That Do Barbados

British pop group Take That descended on the island of Barbados this week to soak up the sun during their Christmas and New Year holidays…and they seem to be having a great time!

Mark Owen, Jason Orange, Gary Barlow and Howard Donald couldn’t help but whoop it up on the balcony of their luxury hotel and later hit the beaches to wind down.

Noticeably absent was Robbie Williams who announced this summer that he would be returning to the band.  According to reports the newlywed stayed back in LA because of previous commitments.

Take That, who are on the tropical island to perform at a private New Year’s Eve party, recently released their sixth album, Progress, and have announced they will go on a UK stadium tour in 2011.
