TAKE That have hit out at plans for a West End musical based on their songs.
The boy band, currently topping the chart with Shine, are furious that new show Never Forget will feature their hits.
In a statement it said: "The band would like to state categorically that this production is being undertaken with neither their involvement nor their endorsement.
"This production is absolutely and 100 per cent nothing to do with Take That."
Never Forget is a fictional story about a Take That tribute band.
It will feature the chart hits Relight My Fire, Pray and Back For Good, as well as the show's title song.
Record label EMI licensed the songs to the musical's producers in 2005, but the band had no idea they were intended for use in this show.
The producers describe it as a "feel-good comedy about love, friendship, ambition and betrayal" and stress it is not about the real boy band's rise to fame.
Never Forget will tour five stages across the country before it hits a West End venue. Tickets went on sale yesterday.
