There is talk that he is planning another solo tour so an album would make sense - although I doubt it though, I think he's busy enough behind the scenes

Also he ( so have the others) said in the past that first time round Take That was their life but that isnt the case this time round as family and kids are their priority so x factor, a solo tour etc all takes up time, a solo album etc would need a lot of promotion then start getting ready for a Take That album wouldn't leave much time.

Exactly - I don't think he'd do promotion besides maybe XF as he'd already be there. We're due for another children in need rocks this year so Gary will be heading that as well

I think we would have heard news on him recording solo material if it was to be released this year.

The duet with Agnetha from Abba might be released as a single apparently it's the second most downloaded track after the lead single from across iTunes. However if it were released don't think a lot of promotion would be put behind it as she doesn't enjoy singing live these days.

Is it a duet? i thought it was just a track he co wrote or wrote?

It's a duet, I posted it a while back on here

The belief from some of his fans on Twitter is that he really is recording a solo album. At least it seems that he is recording something, whatever it may be.

With no work having taken place on the new Take That material i have a slight niggle in my mind that Gary isnt working on something. I know he has the musical, x factor etc. but i do have a feeling he could be working behind the scenes on another solo project.

xfactor wont be the same :(

He will be missed on the show by many but i am sure there is also many who will be happy to see him go.

xfactor wont be the same :(

X-Factor had been rubbish for years - Gary neither improved it or made it any worse (a bit duller perhaps but not any worse).

 

I'm hoping they finish the whole thing off now and maybe we can start having up-to-the minute films on a Saturday and possibly Sunday night instead of some Simon Cowell crap! A big hope I know!

Make sure you get your Gary dig in there Kath :lol:

Gary is appearing as a feature guest on the new Smokey Robinson album; Smokey and Friends.

 

He sings on the last track, 'Get Ready' - the link below has a preview of it! If you're on your phone etc you'll have to click desktop view
