All our dreams have come true. Not only has Gary Barlow kept his beard, but he's announced a solo single, album AND tour...
Gary Barlow is going it alone, announcing a new solo single, album and tour today. The Take That singer and songwriter unveiled the huge news today, along with a series of very hot arty black and white pictures and a lyric video of his new solo track, Let Me Go.
The single, out on 17 November, will feature on Gary's first solo studio album in 14 years, Since I Saw You Last, which hits stores on 25 November.
Earlier this week, fans of The X Factor judge were asked to tweet @GaryBarlow using the hashtag #GBSOLO. It trended every day this week.
Gary wrote every song on the new album, and one even features a duet with Gary's BFF Elton John.
He's also announced a UK tour, which kicks off in April 2014. Tickets go on sale Friday 11 October at 9.30am. We'll see you there...
