    I remember Take That being removed from the official program of performers that night, as they weren’t sure Gary would be able to perform. Where his voice cracks when he sings “don’t close your eyes don’t fade away” just breaks me every time. He was exceptionally brave for doing this, mere hours really, since losing his baby girl.

    The line “they’re lighting up the sky tonight, for you”. I see the fireworks go and just think it was the perfect tribute to his little baby daughter. It was for her. 🩷

    I cried watching him sing, especially in the beginning of the song where you could hear his voice crackle a bit! The lyrics must have hit so close to home for him! The strength and courage he had and still has is utterly amazing! I wish Take That were more popular here in the US! When Robbie went solo, he was/is a major hit over here! Gary even moved to Los Angeles and was managed by Clive Davis for awhile, and just didn't receive the recognition he deserved! They're a fabulous group!

    This performance still gives me chills and hearing his voice crack gets me everytime cause you can tell just how emotional he is. I have so much respect for him to decide to perform in spite of the loss that he suffered, especially with choosing this song to sing. It brought me right back to the CIN performance when he said "Dad, this one's for you" with the same song. What a powerful performance this is. Proud Thatter.

    I'm Canadian and I became obsessed with Girls Aloud around September 2012 so that's when I started to become familiar with other British artists such as Take That. Let me just say Britain has some of the best musical artists that most of the world hasn't even heard of and that makes me sad.

      LoveChezzabella I realise its a bit late this comment being 4 months old, but for perspective, last year (2014) British artists accounted for 50% of all music sales world wide.
      This is one of the reasons so many, especially American artists, eye musical success in the UK despite the fact our population is only slightly bigger than the combined pop of California and Texas (the two most populous US states).

The thing is when you are not from USA or Britain and you like music in English language then we know know better who is international and who are the best from any corner as we are not focused on Justin biebers or mileys circus hahaha

    I lived in Ireland during the Olympics and watched all the events...Take That is absolutely fabulous...Wish more Americans would acknowledge great performers no matter where they are from. I play many of the artist over here and people go wow who are they...Take That keep recording.

    Take that are the kind of band that has never been heard of and no one knows in one country (America) But in another country they have been around for years and extremely popular (Britain and ireland)

      I agree! But they are popular not only in Britain or Ireland. In my country ( Bulgaria) my generation grew up with their songs! They are a big part of my teenage years and i still love to hear their songs! Was good to see them together. But there was missing Robbie!

    You could tell that in Gary's eyes he was dedicating every line of that song to Poppy. It takes a great deal of bravery to go and sing after what he went through at that time and to sing so beautifully too. Well done, Gary, you and your band mates did justice to that song.
