Gary Barlow reveals the reason behind his children staying away from the spotlight

The Frodsham, Cheshire native has been active in the music industry since 1984. He has six albums in his credits as a solo artist and all of them have managed to grab the top spots on the Billboard and other charts.

However, Barlow’s children have not pursued a similar career to their father and he addressed the same while speaking to Mirror on Tuesday, November 5. He told the outlet that he can’t say anything about the plans of his youngest child Daisy, who is currently 15, adding that she is studious. He continued:

“The two oldest ones [Daniel and Emily] have kind of gone into medicine and physiology – studying strength and conditioning.”

“I don’t think they will follow in my music footsteps but I wouldn’t have discouraged them though if they did want to, it’s been a good business for me.”
