When the GMB host questioned if he enjoyed singing along, Gary responded: "Oh, Aye"‌Discussing the concert and what prompted the memory of the lyrics for her husband, Natasha commented: "We've lost a lot of conversations, a lot of our Gary."I just feel, whenever there's music, especially something like Take That, that he loves, it's like Alzheimer's disappears. It brings back Gary. You just love it, don't you? He can't remember a lot of things, but when the music comes on, word for word, he remembers. It's just magical."Susanna highlighted how 'tough' it is for them as a family as Gary was young when he was diagnosed with the disease. His wife explained that before he was diagnosed, they knew something wasn't right, but it was initially dismissed due to his age.‌She added: "He was a self-employed joiner, could do anything. All of a sudden, he lost his confidence, struggled to make a sandwich, and make a cup of coffee."We knew there was something wrong, but because he was so young, I just kept getting told, 'It can't be Alzheimer's, it can't be dementia, it must be something else'.‌"It took a long time and a lot of pushing at the doctors to get testing, probably about 18 months until I finally got the diagnosis, which, as devastating as it was, it was a relief to know I wasn't going crazy."It wasn't long before people commented on the interview, with one person saying: "God bless Gary. Dementia is a terrible disease, but I am pleased music helps him."Article continues belowSomeone else wrote: "I'm glad Gary's singing makes the family feel something positive from this horrible disease."Another added: "This is devastating.
