Gary Barlow halts concert midway through song as he spots concert-goer's stunt
Gary Barlow brought his jam-packed Scarborough show to a sudden halt after spotting something in the crowd as he began to sing a classic Take That song Gary Barlow stunned fans by dramatically halting a jam-packed concert in Scarborough. As the audience swayed and sang to his catalogue of huge hits, the Take That man abruptly paused after spotting something in the audience. Gary, 54, had been sitting at the piano and just started a rendition of A Million Love Songs when he told his band to stop. Waving his finger in the air, Gary said: "Hang on, stop, stop stop. Stop everyone." As he gazed down to the crowd he asked: "What's going on down here at the front? Is that what we think it is?" Spotting a man in the crowd holding up a ring, cameras panned onto the audience member, with screams of delight soon following. Gary went on: "There we go. He's got the ring there everyone." Gary's concert-goer, Chris Calpin from York, looked delighted to have caught the singer's attention and continued to ask partner Kirsty Peake if she will be his wife. "Wow," Gary exclaimed as he clapped his microphone before a stunned Kirsty wiped away a tear. "Oh my goodness," the star gasped. "It take it it's a yes, right? It's a yes. It's a yes," he gleefully revealed to the rest of the concert goers who roundly clapped the couple. However, Gary then joked: "Now listen. It's all about timing. I'd started the bloody song." He then told the duo to make a space for themselves and have a dance, telling them "this number is dedicated to you both". As he wished them a happy future and thanked them for attending, he got the hit tune back under way as the audience sang along while the happy couple embraced. The magical moment comes as Gary was continuing his UK tour at Scarborough's Open Air theatre. Will Smith is also due to wow the crowds at the venue later in the summer. Earlier in the year Gary also won the hearts of his crowd as he celebrated the momentous occasion as Liverpool FC won the Premier League. On the day the title was sealed, Gary kicked off the English leg of his Songbook Tour with a bang in Liverpool. The Cheshire-born singer took to the city's Empire Theatre on to perform hits from his three-decade long career, and couldn't help but celebrate the sporting win from his boyhood club. He was greeted by red and white confetti falling onto the crowd as he beamed and proudly displayed the scarf to the crowd. The joyous occasion came despite the star earlier promising not to talk sports during the show. 'We book these tours 15 months in advance or something so there's no way we could have known something like this could happen. But when we played Nafield in 2019, Liverpool had just won the Champions League. So it seems like every time I book a gig in Liverpool, we do really well!" Gary said before the gig.
