In August 2012 , Take That performed at the closing ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics , despite Barlow announcing that his daughter had been stillborn the previous week . The performance earned him praise for appearing live so soon after the tragedy . Williams was due to perform with the band but dropped out due to his wife giving birth at around the same time and thus the group performed as a four-piece . In November 2012 , Take That reunited as a five-piece for the last time to perform " Never Forget " at the Music Industry Trust Awards
