Howard Donald Sibling: Meet Colin Donald, Glenn Donald, and Samantha Donald

Colin Donald, Glenn Donald, and Samantha Donald are the siblings of British singer and songwriter, Howard Donald. There is very little to no information about them. Information about their ages, professions, spouses, and children (if any), is unknown.

Born on April 28, 1968, Howard Donald was educated at Littlemoss High School in Droylsden, however, he did not get any GCSEs, and trained for three years as a vehicle painter on the Youth Training Scheme (YTS).

He started his entertainment career as a Disc Jockey who also danced and frequented the burgeoning breakdancing circuit in the Greater Manchester area.

In the late 1980s, he auditioned for Nigel Martin-Smith’s new boy band project at his office in Manchester and was selected. The group was named Take That after a long deliberation.

Donald was recruited by Nigel Martin-Smith along with Gary Barlow, Jason Orange, Mark Owen, and Robie Williams to form the band, Take That. After a successful five-year career in the band, Williams left in 1995, however, the group continued as a quartet.

In 1996, Barlow, Owen, and Orange came to the difficult decision that Take That was to split. The decision was very tough on Donald as he did not agree in the beginning, however, he accepted it and parted ways as well.

Donald pursued a solo career as an artiste after the split, and recorded an unreleased single dubbed Speak Without Words, and also returned to DJing. In 2005, the band released a documentary – Take That: For the Record – where Donald confessed that he was unstable and suicidal after they split.

That same year, he reformed and announced a reunion tour, The Ultimate Tour in the summer of 2006, following the release of their Greatest Hits album Never Forget: The Ultimate Collection. 

The band went on to release their first studio album – Beautiful World – since 1995. They achieved two major hit songs off the album Patience and Shine. In 2010, the band also released an album titled Progress, where Donald sang lead vocals on the track Affirmation. 

Donald also sang lead vocals on Every Revolution on their 2017 album Wonderland. He also appeared on the 2021 edition of The Masked Dancer masked as Zip. He reached the final and was unmasked in the third place.
