Boyband Take That will be one of the music acts performing to celebrate the coronation of Prince Charles in May this year - but an essential member will be missing.
The band, who rose to fame in the 1990s, originally had five members but have now been whittled down to just three. However, Jason Orange is reportedly in talks to rejoin his bandmates for the royal bash after he left the pop group in 2014.
Jason could be set to rejoin bandmates Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald to perform for the new King, Queen Consort Camilla and millions of TV viewers for the concert from the gardens of Windsor Castle.

The band originally formed in 1990 and went on to have huge hits with 12 number one records across four decades, selling 45million records around the world.

After a break of nearly 10 years, Take That members Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Mark Owen and Jason Orange reformed in 2005. Yet the band split again when Jason left in 2014, leaving just three members left.

Take That are touring the UK on one of their biggest tours yet this summer as well as visiting Finland and Denmark, but earmarked the May weekend in case they got the nod from organisers to perform for the royal family.
A source said: "The biggest names and acts in world music are being approached for the concert.

"But Take That were right near the top of that list and are a massive coup for the organisers to get over the line so early."
Other music icons expected to join the line up include Aussie singer Kylie MInogue and US star Lionel Richie.
