Last updated 21 hours ago
Last year, Take That fans across the UK delighted in the news that the band would be reviving 'The Circus Live Tour' for 2026, performing across the country recreating the record-breaking 2009 tour that sold 600,000 tickets in under five hours.
Back in May, the band started their tour, taking to the stage in Southampton, with a performance filled with trapeze artists, a hot air ballon, a tight-rope walker, and the iconic mechanical elephant - including several performers that toured with the band first time around.
Now as the huge tour has come to an end, with the final date taking place in Dublin on 4th July, Gary Barlow has now shared an emotional statement with his fans, admitting: "I just can’t see a way I could physically do this show again."

The singer, shared the full statement along with a couple of photos from the tour writing: 'And another tour comes to a close. Somehow, this one feels a little different. With the other tours, it’s always comforting to know there will almost definitely be a next time. But I’m pretty sure this tour won’t return.
'I was 38 when we originally did this show, and I have to say it’s been a whole other challenge doing it as a 55-year-old. I just can’t see a way I could physically do this show again.
'So, it’s with an extremely heavy heart that I leave The Circus in my past. I got to run away with The Circus twice.'
However, it's not all bad news for fans, as Gary then teased a few show saying: 'Now I’m running towards our next exciting, brand new show.'
Fans of the singer took to the comments to share messages of support. One wrote: 'Ah such a shame it'll be the last time we ever get to see it. It really is the most amazing show on 🌎 😍', another said: 'So many congrats G. Not many of us could rock that at 55. You’re all total legends 🙌''.
While their tour might be over, the band are still releasing new music with their latest song 'Sweet July' released just days ago. The band also released 'You're a Superstar' earlier this year, after previewing it at the end of their Netflix documentary. They also have a 10th album on the way, which they've teased a December release date for.
