Take That's Gary Barlow looks unrecognisable as he shaves off famous beard

Gary recently told fans he wanted to continue to keep "active and keep fit post-tour" after finishing a mammoth jaunt with Take That, but then took to social media to post an emotional statement where he told fans he could not see himself performing in something as physically-demanding as The Circus Tour again. Whilst he was initially clean shaven during the early days of his career alongside Robbie Williams, Mark Owen Jason Orange and Howard Donald, he opted for a beard around the time he began serving as a judge on The X Factor and headed up a reunion with the band.
