TAKE That are gearing up to Rule The World all over again.
And this time they have Las Vegas in their sights.

Howard added: “People always ask, ‘Are you going to be like the Rolling Stones and keep going until that sort of age?’
“And I think, you know what, maybe in five or ten years there won’t be as many dance moves but I think if we carry on making great music I think we can carry on.”
