Gary Barlow wore the team’s scarf to celebrate Liverpool FC’s Premier League victory on Monday night during his solo Songbook Tour of the city.
Gary Barlow kicked off the English leg of his Songbook Tour with a bang in Liverpool on Monday night as he celebrated Liverpool FC’s Premier League victory over the weekend. The Cheshire-born singer took to the city’s Empire Theatre on Monday night to perform hits from his three-decade long career, and couldn’t help but celebrate the sporting win from his boyhood club.
From historic Take That hits such as Rule The World and Patience to his own newer tracks, including Let Me Go and 6th Avenue, Gary took the audience on a “trip through the decades”, as he called it. And with the show complete with plenty of ‘I love you Gary’ screams from the eager crowd, the 54-year-old couldn’t resist but sing 1995 track Never Forget as an encore. And for the last song, he swapped a sparkling red suit jacket for a Liverpool F.C scarf and paraded around the stage.
Despite earlier promising not to talk sports during the performance, Gary beamed and proudly displayed the scarf to the audience while red and white confetti fell onto the crowd.
The show comes after Gary kicked off the tour in the Isle Of Man, with the singer set to make his way around England and Scotland until wrapping up in Norfolk on June 21st.
And Gary believes that his coincidentally-timed show may have been a good luck charm following Liverpool’s victory over Tottenham this weekend.
“We book these tours 15 months in advance or something so there’s no way we could have known something like this could happen. But when we played Nafield in 2019, Liverpool had just won the Champions League. So it seems like every time I book a gig in Liverpool, we do really well!” Gary said before the gig.
It’s a pleasure to be here right now because Liverpool is a football town and the fans are from their own country.
Gary may have to keep booking his shows in accordance with the football games, but his Take That bandmates might accompany him when he’s in the city when he reveals they’re working on a new album.
“The songwriting process has already begun.” We keep going! Gary, who claims that new music is on the horizon, “admits him.
The songwriting process takes some time, and the recording process takes a while once the songs are complete. I anticipate hearing some fresh music in the first half of the year. You never know what we might have this year.
