Gary Barlow Says He Is Struggling After Take That’s Circus Live Tour

His candid update highlights the physical toll of the stadium revival as Take That moves to finish a new album.

Overview

  • Barlow told fans in a filmed Instagram check-in that he has been experiencing a pronounced 'post‑tour blues' and said he feels like he has "completely fallen off a cliff."
  • The Circus Live run was a revival of the band’s 2009 The Circus production and ran as a large stadium tour that concluded earlier this month to strong fan response.
  • Barlow has said he could not "physically" do the Circus Live show again and indicated the production is unlikely to return for another run.
  • Despite his low mood, he confirmed that Take That are finalising a new album and have already released two singles, You’re A Superstar and Sweet July.
  • The trio lineup of Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald are planning future activity focused on new music rather than repeating the demanding stadium spectacle, a shift that reflects touring limits for older performers and affects their personal lives and schedules.
