Posted August 27, 201311 yr It's happening! Gary is filming the music video to his new single 'Let Me Go' in Manhattan right now. Word is the album is due early November. Details are all very scarce at the moment, the info has come from people taking part in the video. Hopefully confirmation will follow shortly, but looks like we are finally going to have a proper follow up to 12 months, 11 days! Edited November 17, 201311 yr by Aphrodite
August 28, 201311 yr This is nothing but amazing news. I really wanted a another solo album from him. What may slightly worry me is some fans may blame him recording a solo album the sole reason for the delay in receiving a new Take That album. Now, his solo performance will be very interesting to watch, from a single point of view he probably wont have much success outside the lead single as even Take That dont do as well in the singles chart with follow up singles as they once did. The album will be worth watching and watching its sales closely. I wouldnt say i am certain it would go to number 1, that will greatly depend on the competition he is up against. How the album sells overall and its chart run will be interesting. With a November release a platinum selling album and more is very very possible and a strong lead single would cement that. Either way a top 5 or top 10 peak for the album will greatly improve his solo chart history even further, the performances of shame, sing and the sing album version greatly improved it but another top 10 single and album would make his career look more solid for those reading through it in years to come. An X Factor solo performance would plug a new single nicely and certainly would do no harm. Edited August 28, 201311 yr by pippa
August 28, 201311 yr Author I couldn't believe it either when I heard what was happening! I just hope that he doesn't do what Mark did and release the single and album on the same day rather than the album a week apart. Think October is the best time to release it, that way avoiding Eminem's new LP whilst also getting a slot maybe week 3 or 4 of the XF live shows. Word is he will also announce a tour as well! I'd love him to do at least one night at the O2 Edited August 28, 201311 yr by jay727
August 28, 201311 yr One of the nice things about Olly Murs not touring until 2015 means I can go to the Captain's tour this year. Bring it on!
August 28, 201311 yr delighted with this news and i cant wait to hear it, really looking forward to this and i hope it does well for him.
August 29, 201311 yr He kept the news quiet, usually we hear Gary has announced he will release a solo album this year bla bla bla so to just hear its getting released so near is a lovely surprise.
September 2, 201311 yr I find it strange how low key this news is to date, i expect it to increase much more in the near weeks.
September 2, 201311 yr Author This news isn't supposed to be known..but he's been hinting on an official reveal soon via twitter. Really looking forward to it!!

September 2, 201311 yr Author Here is the original casting call for the video http://www.onesourcetalent.com/models/cast...low-music-video
September 4, 201311 yr Author Well the album release date being spoken about on social media is the 18 November. Are there any competitors releasing that week? Or the week before? When are 1D releasing?
September 4, 201311 yr JLS' greatest hits is out that same day if I'm not mistaken...I think there's something else major out that week too but I can't think what...
September 4, 201311 yr Author All depends on getting the release date and promo in line together. Gary has replied on twitter to a question from a fan asking when will we hear any new music, to which he said 'v.soon'
September 5, 201311 yr He will need to promote as much as possible, the more high profile the better the chance of greater success. I think a Strictly Come Dancing slot wont be happening though!!
September 12, 201311 yr Author If it is the 18th then it'll be up against Robbie's new album: Swing Both Ways... The Sun will love that!
September 13, 201311 yr I hope that doesnt happen, i really hope they dont go head to head as it will drag up all the rivalry again.
