My take

Take That was the original British boy band, achieving unprecedented success with millions of records sold and sold-out arenas. Gary Barlow, the band's talented and grounded front man, not only wrote many of their greatest hits like 'Back for Good' and 'A Million Love Songs' but also sang them. However, the band chose to disband at the peak of their fame, leading Gary on an inspiring journey filled with highs and lows. His solo career began promisingly but soon faced a crisis of confidence, as the public seemed to forget him. Until now, Gary has remained silent about his life. He shares his full story, from his childhood in Cheshire and early work in a social club at thirteen to his teenage years performing in northern clubs and the pivotal moment he met Nigel Martin-Smith, who envisioned forming a boy band. Gary reveals the realities of life on the road with Take That and addresses the rumors surrounding their feuds, including his public fallout with Robbie. Throughout his journey, Gary's determination and positivity have shone through, leading him to success as a songwriter for artists like Blue and Delta Goodrem. Now, with the Take That reunion tour, Gary and the band return to the spotlight, reclaiming their place in pop music.
