My New Hero- Gary Barlow

[CMAC]

Anyone watch the documentary tonight on what he went through. Unbelievable! and to come out with the attitude he has is truly inspirational.

I've always admired him but I had no idea about the vile personal hatred that was thrown at him daily, for years!

Lesser individuals would never have come out the other side.

He comes across as a very genuine, respectful, empathic and loving individual. He deserves all he has.

Well done Gary- a Major role model in life.:thup:

I watched too and have to agree he's a Top man! :thup:

Had the pleasure of meeting him a few years back - one of the worlds nice guys who has earned everything he has got

Top Bloke

Gave the troops in Afghan a massive morale boost when he visited

He might be a top bloke, I've no doubt he is.

But, there's no excusing his crimes against music.

I'm not afraid to admit that I have liked all their stuff since they reformed and went with the OH to see them in concert twice - outstanding show and it's great to see all the people actually sing and write their own stuff

Only gigs my other half knew not to ask me to go to. Lol. And I'd go and watch practically anyone in concert. Each to their own.

Take That aside, as a songwriter he really is exceptional.

totally deserved if/when it happens and agree with you.

 

[PhilTheFragger]

was a good bit of TV, thought James Corden was good too, they gel well together.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Decent programme and surprising just what he went through. Still not a fan of the music though but a big fan of his charity work and for the forces

 

[Astraeus]

Always respected this man both in terms of his talent and his demeanor...and his sartorial elegance.

 

[tugglesf239]

But, there's no excusing his crimes against the tax man

Slight edit

I admire him greatly. For all his wealth he's kept his feet on the ground and is still a humble person. He really is a genuine caring guy, very down to earth who treats everyone with respect.
If only there were more people like him in all walks of life.........

What, people who go to extraordinary, and some may argue immoral lengths to avoiding paying taxes on the wealth he's accumulated? http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/gary-barlow-take-that-stars-face-20m-tax-bill-1447981

Must agree. the more money you make, the more tax you try and avoid.

think you'll find it was 'professional advisers' and not just a scheme they thought up themselves.

The Financial services industry is riddelled with schemes and avoidance 'methods' that might not stand up to proper scrutiny by the overworked and understaffed inland revenue.........if they ever get the time to investigate.
