Gary Barlow OBE (Born 20 January 1971) is an award-winning English singer-songwriter who first came to fame as the lead singer of Take That (band) in the 1990s. He is also known for being Simon Cowell's replacement as head judge on The X Factor.After Take That first broke up, Gary attempted to launch a solo career that failed to take off. He then focused on being a songwriter and producer before Take That reformed as a four-piece (sans Robbie Williams) to great acclaim. Since the reunion and Gary's reentry into the limelight, the hits and accolades have been non-stop, with Gary even organizing the music for Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 2012 and traveling around the Commonwealthnote including the smaller territories that don't receive many outside visitors to compose a commemorative single for the occasion, earning him an OBE (although comedians liked to joke that Gary was practically begging for a knighthood at the time).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })He has since relaunched his solo career to great success.

Intergenerational Friendship

comment
Intergenerational Friendship: He and Elton John are extremely close friends, with Elton being one of the few who stood by him as he was, through no fault of his own, being publicly humiliated. Gary wrote "Face to Face" as a thank-you to Elton for helping him through his depression. Elton John has also said that he views Gary as his successor as a pop singer-songwriter.

It's All About Me

comment
It's All About Me: He confesses that much of the tension that Take That experienced during their first run together was due to the fact that he believed he was the primary reason for their success and sought to maintain tight control over the band, to the point where he didn't like it when other members sang lead. He's since learned his lesson and happily shares the limelight with his bandmates.

Happily Married: He has been married to Dawn Andrews, who was a backing dancer for Take That's final tour in 1990snote and also worked on Take That's Beautiful World tour after the reunion, for nearly 20 years. Dawn said that she never thought much about Take That's music and that it was just a job for her. Falling in love with Gary and getting married happened to be a fringe benefit.
