Number one singer Mika has pulled out of touring with Take That, reportedly leaving the band struggling to find a support act in time for their tour announcement next week.
A source told The Sun, “Mika was considering the offer. But after his No1 he thought he could earn more headlining on his own. In the short term that may be true but Take That have such a huge following it would have given him the perfect platform to showcase his new album."
“The Sugababes are one of the most successful UK bands yet they saw it as an honour to support Take That last time. They can’t do this one because they’re working on a new album. Girls Aloud are doing the same."
It can't be that much of an honour or the ageless boy band wouldn't be having so much trouble trying to find support. Oops, did we say that out loud?
Mika, Take That, or head in an oven?

Do Take That really need a support group? They're the biggest band in the UK today, they don't need any "support" groups. Mika has a number 1 single...wow...so does everyone else! Unfortunately in this day and age, just because you have a number one it doesn't mean you're God. If you maintain the number of number 1s and stay there for a period of time, you're known as one of the best.....if you come back in 10 years time and still have amazing success, then you're considered as one of the greatest of all time. 'Nuff said!
