QUIZ: Which Gary Barlow Are You?

The beloved pop singer is the brand new face of Specsavers’ Osiris Eyewear.

WHETHER YOU FIRST sang along with him during his ‘fistful of emotion’ days or you just loved seeing him as a judge on The X Factor, Gary Barlow is an absolute musical force to be reckoned with.

With Take That, he became part of the only ever boyband to surpass the 10 million mark for sales of both singles and albums in the UK. He’s received not one but six Ivor Novello Awards, and overall has sold about 50 million records worldwide.

And in his 28 years in the music industry, he’s transformed himself many times. From a fresh-faced frontman of an unknown genre to an A-list talent judge to the face of one of the world’s most anticipated reunions. But which one are you? Take our quiz to find out.

We gotta live for these days / Tonight, tonight we'll remember
