Take That star Gary Barlow has compared his solo career to "having leprosy", saying that nobody wanted anything to do with him.
Speaking to Metro, the 38-year-old singer said of his solo efforts: "Nobody wants anything to do with [you] whatsoever – it's like having leprosy."
"Nobody wants any connection with you whatsoever," he said.
Referring to Take That's reunion, he said: "I think this time, three of us have families and we've got lives outside of the band."
"Now it doesn't all hinge on Take That being successful forever."
