Early life
Donald was educated at Littlemoss High School in Droylsden and spent time as a vehicle painter. A young DJ's musical tastes were heavily influenced by his brother Colin's vinyl collection, which included electronic acts such as Kraftwerk, John Foxx, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) and Gary Numan. As a youth, Donald became interested in dancing and frequented the burgeoning breakdancing scene in the Greater Manchester area, where he first met future bandmate Jason Orange. At his Manchester office, he applied for Nigel Martin-Smith's latest boy band project and was selected. The organisation was eventually known as Take That.
Personal life
Donald was educated at Moorside Primary School and Littlemoss High School.

Bowie Taylan (born January 2016) and Dougie Bear (born February 2017) have two sons, along with his wife Katie Halil.
Donald was granted a super-injunction against his estranged mother, singer Adakini Ntuli, with whom he had been in a on/off relationship from 2000 to 2008. (See Ntuli vs. Donald) Donald Trump obtained the super-injunction after Ntuli employed publicist Max Clifford and began talks with the News of the World.

"If more people went out stoned than drunk, there will be less fighting, less confusion, and less violence," the king said in 2007. He confessed to "dabbled with ecstasy" in the past.
It was revealed in June 2012 that Donald, along with Take That bandmates Gary Barlow and Mark Owen, had invested £26 million in music industry investment schemes. The announcement sparked controversy because it was understood that the plans could be used as tax shelters for high-net-worth individuals. Lawyers retaliated in their responses, saying that the band members "paid significant taxes" and that they were not intended for tax avoidance purposes, but rather legitimate commercial enterprises." In an interview with BBC Radio in 2020, Paul Stenning, the band's financial consultant, explained how the band's finances were arranged, saying they were "probably disseminated."
Career
Take That, Nigel Martin-Smith recruited Donald, Gary Barlow, Jason Orange, Mark Owen, and Robbie Williams to form a British boyband. The band enjoyed five years of success until Williams left in 1995, leaving them as a quartet. During the band's first year, Donald appeared less on lead vocals than Barlow, Owen, and Williams, but he did appear lead vocal on the album "Never Forget," which debuted at No. 158. In 1995, there was one in the United Kingdom.
Barlow, Owen, and Orange, Donald's cousins, arrived to the difficult decision that Take That would break in early 1996. They told Donald, who was not happy, but went along with their decision. Following the break, Donald attempted to return to DJing as a solo artist on unreleased single "Speak Without Words." Not long after the split, Donald confessed to being so ill that he might have the intention of committing suicide by drowning himself in the River Thames.
Take That revived and announced The Ultimate Tour in the summer of 2006, the first Hits album, Never Forget: The Ultimate Collection, in 2005. The tour was followed by Beautiful World, their first studio album since 1995, and they earned two top positions in "Patience" and "Shine." "Beautiful World" and "Mancunian Way" were two tracks on display at Beautiful World; "Beautiful World" and "Mancunian Way" featured Donald on lead vocals; The song "Mancunian Way" is a tribute to the band's hometown of Manchester.
