A singer from a popular 90s pop group stepped out in Perth on Wednesday after touching down in Australia for their world tour.
The musician, 52, looked worlds away from his boy band heyday as he made a low-key outing in Western Australia just hours ahead of his first gig Down Under.
He has been joined by his bandmates in the country for the band’s first Australian tour in seven years in a landmark feat.
The trio took to the stage at Perth’s RAC Arena on Wednesday night for their first show and still have another six shows booked in on their long-awaited tour.
Stepping out ahead of the show, the pop star cut a laidback figure in a black vest top and sports shorts, which he wore over fitness leggings.
He kept comfortable in a pair of white trainers and shielded his eyes with a pair of dark glasses as he kept a low profile during the outing.
He was seen leaving his hotel to head out for a walk amid the balmy weather before taking to the stage for his excited fans.
But can you guess who it is?
A singer from a popular 90s pop group stepped out in Perth on Wednesday after touching down in Australia for their world tour… but can you guess who it is?
That’s right, it’s Mark Owen from Take That!
He has jetted Down Under with his bandmates Gary Barlow and Howard Donald for the Australia leg of their This Life world tour.
The tour coincides with the release of their album by the same name last year and they will be performing a mixture of old and new songs.
Take That will next head to Adelaide on November 2, before performing at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on November 6.
They will take to the stage at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena the following day before heading to the Hunter Valley and Mount Cotton.
The band will wrap up in Auckland on November 14 and will be supported by Murder On The Dancefloor singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Australian Idol’s Ricki-Lee Coulter.
The band formed in 1990 and was originally comprised of Gary, Howard and Mark as well as Robbie Williams and Jason Orange.

In 1995, Take That had a number one hit in Australia with their signature song Back For Good.
Their other hits include Relight My Fire, Never Forget, Rule The World, Greatest Day and How Deep is Your Love.
Jason shocked fans when he confirmed he was quitting Take That in 2014 to step out of the limelight and live a quieter life.
Meanwhile, Robbie left the group in 1995 to forge his solo career and rejoined them from 2010 until 2014, before again leaving to focus on his own music.
He had huge chart success on his own, bagging number ones singles including She’s The One, Millennium and Let Me Entertain You.
Robbie later revealed he was ‘in the middle of a nervous breakdown’ when he parted ways with the boy band in the middle of their Nobody Else world tour.
The Angels singer also admitted he ‘isn’t proud’ of things he said during the infamous feud with Gary which ensued.

He famously branded Gary ‘clueless’ and said the band had ‘all the creativity of morons’, but the pair have since repaired their relationship.
Of their reconciliation, Robbie said: ‘We are family. And it’s like blood family for all the good and all the bad and we are intrinsically locked together on this journey on the planet. All of us – me, Jay, Howard, Mark and Gaz.
‘I will always be the younger brother and he [Gary] will always be the older brother. And I did things that I’m not proud of and said things I’m not proud of as a reaction to things that I hope he’s not that proud of either.
‘That being said, taking the mickey out of Gary, he didn’t deserve that.’
