Gary, with help from producer Labrinth, orchestrated a reworked version of Massive Attack song Teardrop for this year’s official BBC Children in Need single.
Gary Barlow has been busy – he spent ages sifting through all your suggestions for what to call the band he has put together to sing the official BBC Children in Need single this year. News of the collaboration prompted The Sun to request suggestions for the band’s name.
There were a flood of suggestion – the Take That star was impressed with some names and had a tough time choosing.
However, one name shone out for Gary – The Collective – put forward by Bizarre reader Victoria Green.
Victoria from Bideford, Devon, is a massive Gary Barlow fan and said: “Gary Barlow was the first pop star I fell in love with as a schoolgirl. I once camped out all night to get the Take That reunion CD signed at HMV London. He was so down to earth and kind and made you feel important.”
