Take That perform at the Olympics Closing Ceremony

Who watched the spectacular Olympics Closing Ceremony last night?

Take That wowed an estimated 750 million people who tuned in from around the world with their performance at the Olympic Stadium alongside Jessie J, The Pet Shop Boys, Ray Davies, The Who and two dozen other fantastic acts that represent the best of British Music from the last 50 years.

The guys had the honour of singing their classic hit 'Rule the World' as the Olympic torch was lowered, a spectacle that was topped off by a 20 foot wide phoenix rising from the cauldron as the flames went out.

Head over to the iPlayer now to re-watch last night's spectacular closing ceremony.

Was &quot;Rule the World&quot; never released in Canada? I'm trying to download it, but it doesn't seem to exist on any album in iTunes.  As much as the show was awesome, I'm not really interested in the WHOLE Olympics album.

Thanks for a wonder performance.</message></comment><comment id="6700" nodeid="1780" created="15/08/2012 20:06:07"><name>Dulce Tribianni</name><email>micaela_donald@hotmail.com</email><website>https://graph.facebook.com/100000029728143/picture</website><message>I LOVE IT! :DD</message></comment><comment id="6699" nodeid="1780" created="15/08/2012 09:02:42"><name>Eva Vinent Pons</name><email>evavinent@gmail.com</email><website>https://graph.facebook.com/1141363398/picture</website><message>The best performance of the night!! I love you guys, and you Gary, you inspire me. I didn't know what was going on but the minute I saw your face, I knew something bad happened. I was so touched...the song as always breathtaking.
