Take That star Gary Barlow has revealed he is closing his record label Future Records, after scaling back his commitments in order to spend more time with his family. The singer, who recently spent a second series on the judging panel of The X Factor, said he took the decision after realising that he had too much going on in his life. All of the label's artists - who include classical musician Camilly Kerslake and up-and-coming south London singer A*M*E - will be re-housed within Universal, Future's parent company. "It's been a very difficult decision but it came down to time," Gary told The Sun. "I've had a lot going on recently and I want to spend more time with my family." The father-of-three suffered a family tragedy in August when his daughter Poppy, his fourth child with wife Dawn, was stillborn. Gary was awarded an OBE earlier this year in the Queen's Birthday Honours list for his services to entertainment and charity. He also made it to the final of The X Factor with his act Christopher Maloney, who finished second-runner up to Jahmene Douglas and James Arthur.
