Gary Barlow, 55, says he will not repeat Take That’s “The Circus” tour for a third time, making the announcement “with a heavy heart” to fans as the latest run ends. Multiple outlets report that Barlow says he “physically can’t” do another demanding tour, citing age-related challenges and stating he cannot see a way he could perform the show again. The comments come after the most recent revival of “The Circus,” which sees the band revisit the stadium tour that originally wowed venues in 2009. Sources describe the latest version as a large-scale, big-budget “Circus” revival run, often referred to as “Circus Live,” and note that it has now concluded, with final shows including performances in Dublin and Manchester. While fans had previously discussed the possibility of another outing, Barlow’s message indicates the tour’s touring cycle will not continue with him at the same format. The reporting is consistent that the decisive factor is his ability to physically manage the show at his current age, rather than any change in the band’s broader plans.
