One 90s boyband star who quite literally vanished off the face of the Earth after quitting fame has been spotted on a rare outing.<\/p>\n

Take That<\/a> member Jason Orange<\/a> rose to fame in 1990 when the group was formed<\/a>, comprising Gary Barlow<\/a>, Mark Owen<\/a>, Howard Donald<\/a>, and Robbie Williams<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jason was part of the Never Forget hitmaking band for six years and returned when they reunited in 2005, but ultimately bowed out of performing and fame altogether<\/a> when he quit in 2014.<\/p>\n

Now aged 54, the former pop star lives a much quieter life<\/a> and is rarely seen in public.<\/p>\n

New photos capture him<\/a> looking super chilled while cycling in Primrose Hill.<\/p>\n

Jason appeared in good spirits for his solo outing, dressed in casual attire with his hood up to avoid drawing attention to himself.<\/p>\n

The Patience singer sported dark grey cargo pants and a zip-up jacket, concealing his eyes with a pair of tinted shades ahead of stopping at a natural pharmacy.<\/p>\n

No longer performing to crowds of thousands or dancing in ultra-cheesy music videos, Jason has swapped his once hectic lifestyle for a much more normal pace.<\/p>\n

At the start of this year, it was reported that the star had entered the property business with Celtic football legend\u00a0Neil Lennon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A source told\u00a0The Sun<\/a> in January: \u2018Jason and Neil have known each other for a fair while and played in a charity football game together some years back.\u2019<\/p>\n

They continued: \u2018Neil has a firm, and Jason has come on board.<\/p>\n

\u2018Jason prefers to live a quiet life out of the spotlight but has got a real flair for property.\u2019<\/p>\n

It\u2019s believed Jason sold his first property around that time, with customers praising his \u2018lovely\u2019 and \u2018professional\u2019 manner.<\/p>\n

When Jason announced he was leaving Take That, he told their devoted fanbase: \u2018I want to start by saying how proud I am of what we have achieved together over the years.<\/p>\n

\u2018I have spent some of the best years of my life with Take That, and I\u2019d like to thank everyone who has been a part of my journey, including my bandmates, who I feel are like brothers to me.\u2019<\/p>\n
