The Angels singer, whose wife Ayda Field is due to give birth next month, said via his blog: 'My thoughts are with Gary, Dawn and family right now.'

And it would seem the rest of Barlow's bandmates Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald are equally saddened by the awful news.

A source told the Daily Mirror: 'They are all utterly distraught for Gary.

'The boys are such a tight bunch and this has really knocked them all for six. They will always be there for him.'

Gary, 41, has said he and dancer Dawn, 42, have been left 'devastated' after losing their fourth child, Poppy, on Saturday.

He added: 'Our focus now is giving her a beautiful funeral and loving our three children with all our hearts.'

Meanwhile, Take That fan Michelle Pierce has set up a JustGiving page on behalf of 'Fans Of Gary Barlow United'.

Michelle hopes to raise £100,000 for stillbirth and neonatal death charity Sands 'as a mark of respect and to raise awareness'.

She said: 'As fans and many of us as parents we all want to show love and support to the Barlow family. Here we can make a difference, and leave united messages of love and support. This is a united donation from all Gary Barlow and TT fans.'

So far 269 donations have been made raising £1,951.70 for the charity.

Gary is still mulling over his part in the Olympics closing ceremony on Sunday night.

Take That are expected to perform Rule The World as the Olympic flame is extinguished.
