Gary Barlow injures back
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 23 February 2009
Gary Barlow has hurt his back whilst training for a charity climb of Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro.
A statement on his website explained that because of a “hectic training schedule” the muscles in the Take That star’s back “have gone into spasm”.
It adds that he’s been “treated appropriately” and should be able to complete the charity climb. I should think so too. My back is constantly going into spasms and I’ve never pulled out of a charity climb of the highest peak in Africa on account of it.
He’s one of a number of celebs attempting the climb, with a couple of Girls Aloud and Chris Moyles also involved in the event, which has been organised to raise money for Comic Relief. It’s hoped they’ll raise £1million for the cause, some of which would be used in Tanzania to fight malaria.
