“I don’t think they would follow in my musical footsteps, but I wouldn’t have put them off, although if they wanted to, it’s been a good deal for me.”
‘Every day I continue to enjoy what I do and when you realize that you are making a living from it, it is a great, great place to be. “A lot of roles in ‘show business’ are just wonderful, I think there’s definitely a much more difficult world than the one I’m in.”
Sadly, the Barlows lost their baby Poppy in 2012 when she was stillborn and he recently admitted he “hadn’t found peace” with her yet.
Speaking on The Imperfects podcast, the singer spoke candidly about his family tragedy, explaining: “I don’t talk about this in great detail and I literally don’t because I’m still figuring it out a little bit.”
‘My wife’s emotions were completely different from mine. I’ve been angry about it for a long time, I still haven’t found peace with it.’
