Mad about the Boys: My Life as Take That's Biggest Fan

Bursting onto the pop scene in 1992, Take That quickly became one of the biggest boy bands since The Beatles and attracted millions of fiercely loyal fans. Their recent sell-out comeback tours and new hit album have proved that they are still hugely popular. In September 1994 Claire Blake went to her first Take That concert and quickly decided to get as close to her new idols as possible. Through a combination of sheer determination, ingenuity, and remarkable strokes of luck, Claire has had some incredible experiences over the years, including getting into a recording session at the BBC--despite not having a ticket--recording with Mark Owen at Abbey Road studio, and helping Robbie Williams through some of his darkest hours. In this unique account, Claire reveals intimate details about members of the group and amusing stories of her determination to meet them as she tells Take That's story. This funny and poignant memoir also includes the story of how Claire and the band were reunited for the 2006 Take That tour.
