The Take That man is going on a solo jaunt in 2025.

Gary Barlow is best known as a fifth, quarter or third of Take That, depending on their lineup, but he's also a solo proper star in his own right.

And the band's main songwriter is underlining his standalone status by going out on the road by himself next year.
