Gary Barlow has confirmed that he is re-releasing his two solo albums.

The singer admitted that he hopes there will be renewed interest in his solo projects following Take That's popularity since they reformed in 2006.

"I have just signed to re-release new versions of the two solo albums," he told the Daily Star. "Fingers crossed someone buys them."

Barlow's debut solo album Open Road topped the chart in 1997. His follow-up Twelve Months, Eleven Days only managed to reach number 35 two years later and he was subsequently dropped by his record label.

The 38-year-old later compared his failed second effort to having leprosy.

"Nobody wants anything to do with [you] whatsoever - it's like having leprosy. Nobody wants any connection with you whatsoever," he told Metro.
