[1] It was announced on 15 October 2012 that Barlow would go on a full solo tour for his second leg of shows, lasting two months around the UK and Ireland.

[2] Soon after Barlow announced that he would play the Royal Albert Hall for two nights in December with all proceeds of the tour and merchandise sold that evening going directly to The Prince's Trust youth charity.

Fans will be glad to know we've kept some [tickets] back with great views of the stage to auction off to the highest bidder so we can make as much money as we possibly can for The Prince's Trust.

"[5] Following from the success of his first leg of shows, Barlow announced on 15 October 2012 that he was to embark on his first full solo tour in thirteen years around the UK and Ireland.

The show features guest appearances from JLS, Peter Kay, Nicole Scherzinger, James Corden and Mark Owen.

"[citation needed] The 90 minute concert film omitted the tracks "Reach Out", "Like I Never Loved You Before", "Wasting My Time" and "Everything Changes" for unknown reasons.

For him, his solo career is there to be occasionally rekindled, but this was a spectacular statement of intent which took in a fusillade of Take That hits closing with Never Forget [which] was stomach-tighteningly magnificent."

It's a charity performance, for the Prince's Trust no less, because Barlow the artist doesn’t need any exposure: this is a songwriter who has colonised the charts for 20 years.

But it was the old ones, Back for Good and Everything Changes, songs that nail Barlow's precise blend of schmaltz and pop brilliance, which left grown women thrusting their polite "Mr B" banners high above their heads and screaming.
