“I see myself being very different from the average singer. I have released records before, but this is my first for a mainstream audience. But I do want to make it absolutely clear here and now: I am not trying to be a pop star. I'm just trying to make a high quality album full of songs that I hope people would want to hear me sing. For those who only maybe know me from television, I'd like them to discover another side of me."

A very sad evening in the Barrowman Gill Household. At 10:30pm this
evening (October 12th) we had to give the vet permission to put our
dog Tiger to sleep. He had been taken in for emergency exploratory
surgery after suddenly falling ill at 4pm and the vet found a large
tumour on his spleen and 2 bleeding tumours on his liver. Sadly there was no hope so to stop any further suffering we made a very hard
decision.
Please keep him in your thoughts. He was our Dogs Trust rescue and for the 10 months he was with us we loved him like he had been with us forever.
If you were thinking of sending cards or flowers, please instead donate the money to DOGS TRUST on behalf of Tiger Barrowman Gill. They saved him and then he found us.
Tiger even helped raise money for Dogs Trust by making appearances in Jack and the Beanstalk at the New Theatre in Cardiff.
He was our shining star.
John, Scott and Lewis

*webmaster's note : Donations can also be sent to us at the website via PAYPAL. Send to charity@johnbarrowman.net and state that the donation is in memory of Tiger. The donation will be made in Tiger's name and memory. If you choose to donate through us please have your donation in by November 2nd. Thank You.
