Exclusive: Ross Meets Gary Barlow in LA to Celebrate Three Decades of Take That
In a special segment, Ross catches up with Take That legend Gary Barlow in Los Angeles. The pair reflect on 30 years of chart-topping hits and friendship.
“I was always the worrier in the band,” Gary admits. “Everyone has their role and I was the worrier. My only regret is that I wish I was in the moment more. I’m always thinking about tomorrow, planning ahead, and I never really enjoy the moment.”
Gary also appreciates the gift of time and the band’s incredible journey:
“It’s been a terrific year. I count every year I’m still able to do this as a magnificent year. Thirty years ago, I couldn’t have dreamed it would last this long. These last few years, I’ve looked back a lot and thought, ‘this has been amazing’. It’s made me appreciate it more than ever.”
