Owen returned to the spotlight in the TV documentary, Take That: For the Record in 2005.
Following this success and renewed interest, Take That experienced a career renaissance in 2005 when the post-Williams line-up reformed for a sell-out stadium tour.
The band released their comeback single "Patience" which went to number 1 for four weeks while also topping the charts across Europe.
Patience was also voted The Record of the Year in 2006 and won a Brit for single of the year.
This was followed with "Shine" which featured Owen on lead vocals and became the band's tenth number-one single.
Take That's first album of new material in over ten years, Beautiful World, was released on 24 November 2006.
The album peaked at number 1 in the UK Album Chart selling over 2.8 million copies in the UK alone to date.
It was re-released as a tour edition with hit single "Rule the World" in 2007 and peaked again at number 1.

In June and July 2008, Take That performed the record breaking tour Take That Present: The Circus Live throughout the United Kingdom which sold over one million tickets in five hours.

It was announced that the group was in the process of writing Take That's sixth studio album, set for release in late 2010.
The album, Progress, was the first to feature the original line-up since their 1995 album, Nobody Else.
The band also announced a stadium tour entitled Progress Live which took place in 2011.
The tickets for the tour went on sale on 29 October 2010.
Due to unprecedented high public demand for tickets, ticketmaster websites across the UK and Ireland crashed and all initial tour dates sold out in under 15 minutes.
It was reported that a record breaking one million tickets were snapped up on the first day of sale, resulting in Take That smashing the previous box office record of tickets sold which was set in 2008 by Take That Present: The Circus Live.

The lead single from Progress was announced as "The Flood".
The single debuted at number 2, selling over 500,000 copies since release.
On the first day of the release of Progress, the album sold over 235,000 copies across the UK, making it the fastest selling record of the century.

On 21 November 2010, Progress debuted at number one in the United Kingdom, becoming the band's seventh number-one album.
By the end of its first week on sale the album sold over 520,000, making it the second fastest-selling album of all-time in UK chart history.
To date Progress has sold 2.8 million copies in the UK and has achieved similar chart success across Europe.
In June 2011, Take That released their first extended play collection entitled Progressed which returned the band to number 1 in the UK on its first week of release as well as charting across Europe.
