Gary is a proper gentleman and has so much respect for everybody

[@annakisfaludinebaan]

It takes a lot of strength to be able to talk about such a terrible thing at all. He deserves respect!

[@Hermeneuticar]

Absolutely !

[@tracysmith-yv5lt]

fame is sometimes not good i feel for people mixed up in puff diddy world of mad fame he seems very respectful

[@katarinagbajobi6620]

Seriously lovely guy. Gone through so much in his life. No one deserves to loose a little girl. So humble.....

[@Peace86535]

Gary Barlow is such a nice person. The way he forgave and welcomed Robbie back into take that when Robbie needed support the most is soo commendable. Gary is a good one ❤❤❤❤

[@Marty131080]

Forgave Robbie for what?

[@MA-xc3lj]

I think they forgave each other! Two egos that clashes, young, immature, ambitious. Recipe for disaster in a band where one was neglected and one put on a pedestal. Just glad all those years they were mature and man enough to forgive each other and move on!

[@suvannahbloom2764]

Lost my two daughters in child birth. You never get over losing your children but learn to live with the pain.

[@janinemaxwell4297]

So sorry for your loss I lost 3 babies and your right you never get over it

[@crystalaustralia]

[@reginalins8370]

❤ meu carinho d respeito!!❤

[@daletwin1]

Sorry for your losses. I lost my twin brother and a beloved cat that was my soulmate animal just 3 months apart from each other in 2023. They both got cancer. I feel a deep emptiness since they died. I know I will never get over losing them both for as long as I live. Again, my heart breaks for you.

[@libbybethuk]

Aww savannahs so sorry for your loss I hope your getting through it. I had 5 miscarriages I never met my 5 babies and you can't explain how you feel the devastation of losing 5 babies that you never actually met you don't know what they looked like I was told 3 were boys but no idea about the other 2. I have never got over it it was over 40 years ago and I still have that pain I'm sure I will meet them one day when it my turn to go

[@traceybrant9597]

I remember when Gary and his wife lost their baby, it was such a shock and devastating 💔. I absolutely love this man , he's so down to earth and humble ❤

[@InternationalWaves-z7b]

It never gets old. That pain is always burning in your heart. I found my daughter’s teddy this morning and I hugged it and cried my eyes out. It’s so painful.

[@janiap5235]

Gary, I lost my little son at 38 weeks still birth. He would have been 50 now. Those days were dreadful , I was not allowed to hold my son, not allowed to name him,nobody came to explain anything to me. I sCout in a room adjoining the new born babies,who cried. It was horrendous truly, compared to his they treat mothers of today. I am so sorry for you and your family for the loss you have encountered. To this day I think what my son would be like. My husband was him for a few seconds after I have birth. I was left for one day in the hospital before been taken to Labour ward,where I have natural delivery. My condolence to you and your wife. Gary you are a smashing person really, take care

[@barbararodgers1368]

In the 90s life was so stressful.I can identify with Gary about burn out and mental health .It’s good for men and women to look after themselves.For when we crash it takes time to come back somewhat. And we change ,we are a different person

[@David1131955]

What a wonderful interview. Gary Barlow is a very talented and much loved musician. This interview though, indicates that he has developed into a well-balanced, decent human being, husband, friend and father.

[@emmawallace4719]

You are so sweet 🥲 thank you for being my best friends with my family

[@nkirurosemadubunyi7699]

I feel your pain because l have been there. l lost my daughter not long ago. Can’t get over the pain but cherish her memories. 🎉

[@PoppyMom1]

I’m so very sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter. I have lost 5 babies in all, but they are all still very much with me always. You’re right about the pain of course, but with me, I learnt to live with it (don’t get me wrong, there was plenty of times when I didn’t want to…I was just lost). Sending you love and hugs to you and your family, you are in my thoughts ❤

[@pearlford121]

What a lovely guy Gary is. Feel so sorry for his loss. No one should have to go through the loss of a child.but unfortunately life can suck.

[@mikewhite4560]

Quite Simply: Life is HARD. Some have it HARDER.. Much Needed is: EMPATHY by ALL...

[@jamesleibensperger6489]

Thanks Gary , You are so humble to share what you have experienced. It is so hard to lose loved ones, you don't expect to bury your children, so may God keep you extra close, and shower you, and your family with extra love! More power to you!! Blessings!!

[@paulwelling8243]

Just a warm nice human being if only the world could be the same!🙏🏻

[@demelzahunter8504]

It takes a heart as big as the universe too admit how you veered off to a place that you don't know how you got there. It's called reality. I admire you for being so open and honest, Gary. God bless you and your family, and may you never stop growing towards each other in love and understanding. Been listening to you since I was 12 year's old, and I love the lyrics that comes straight from your heart ❤❤❤❤❤💫🙌💖💖💖

[@tanyacurtis8172]

Gary Barlow is very down to earth so glad he sees that mental health is important & sometimes you have to just take time out & just be there for you . Its okay not to be okay.

Gary Barlow is a beautiful human being ❤

[@traceybrant9597]

I saw him in Southampton when Take That performed at St Mary's Stadium in June this year and he was absolutely brilliant

[@katherineayers5586]

So good to hear his realization of the times he was caught up in his show-biz popularity. When I remember seeing him on the musical shows, I thought him to be so good looking and his accent only drew my attention to him more and more each time I'd see him. It's weird though, I felt bad for him to have all this popularity abound around him and yet, I saw him as a more private and reserved person. SO, this interview is what I'm glad I came across here on KZbin!

[@johnhoulihan6955]

Gary Barlow and George Michael was the best in song writing,what a talent 👍

[@joanfourie1753]

I can't even imagine the pain and anguish the family went through.

Reassuring to hear the extraordinary is ordinary too. Happy that life if re fulfilled for Gary and his family and friends ❤🙏🏽

[@susanclarkson576]

To those who made averse comments, particulary 'glass half full/empty' i say ... "You have heard many many bands/stars state the same thing, (burn out) therefore it is a'thing' A rolling cluster of snowflakes on the crest of a mountain becomes an avalanche before it hits the valley Fame isnt something that 'just happens, it takes hard graft. When it starts the work gets harder and ever more consuming, and they cant take time out. They know it can disapear in the bat of an eye. Even in old age, 'stars have to continue to grease its wheels or have wasted a lifetimes work. it isnt for us to judge whether the glass is half full/empty, we just need to honour the efforts of the people who gave so much of themselves to bring Beautiful melodies/films/art into being Our lives are enriched by their input. Imagine a world where such people had never existed! No art works, no music,of any description, just noise! Nothing tactile to admire, just tables, buildings earth and sky. We have MUCH to thank Artists for"

Total sympathy for his unimaginable family tragedy, but I think I’ve now heard every member of Take That moaning about the pressure and consequences of success and fame. Same with the Spice Girls.
