Take That booted out of hotel after David Beckham demands best room at luxury Manchester celeb haunt
TAKE That have been forced out of a luxury Manchester hotel after David Beckham demanded the venue’s best room.
The legendary Brit music group – Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen – weren’t pleased about being uprooted but had to cede to Becks’ global stardom.
A source said: “Take That have been living in luxury during their tour in the nicest hotel in the city, but they’ve had to move on after a bigger star came to town.
“They are a little bit miffed by it, but David Beckham gets what he wants. They have a few more tour dates in Manchester to go but are settled in the new one now.”
Becks is in town for premiere of football documentary 99, telling the story of Manchester United‘s historic treble win in 1999.
He was pictured tonight suited and booted with his former teammate Gary Neville.
Take That’s hotel drama follows chaotic scenes in Scotland last week as the group scrambled to find a replacement support act when Olly Murs‘ flight from London was cancelled.
It was an unknown musician who stepped in to save the day with just 30 minutes’ notice.
Daniel Rooney, 26, was given the opportunity of a liftetime following new dad Murs’ misfortune.
Daniel had been performing at a hotel near the Hydro in Glasgow when the news about Olly broke.
Telly host Ross King happened to be in the bar and when Take That pal Gary jokingly asked if he knew of any singers available at short notice, he told him about Daniel.
Within an hour, he was performing to 14,000 fans.
Daniel said: “It’s hard to take it in, it’s surreal.
“It was fast.
“I met Gary and the guys 20 minutes before going on and we talked about what songs to do.
“It was great, I got some good singalongs with the crowd and it felt like they were behind me.”
Prior to the tour starting last month, band leader Barlow saw his house raided by theives.
The gang swooped on the £6million country pile a day after the group performed on the penultimate episode of the last series.
They waited until darkness fell before forcing the property’s front gate on the main road of a village in the South of England.
It was understood singer Gary, 53, was unaware a burglary had taken place until the following day — on April 8 — when the police were alerted.
