Gary's sweet message comes after he shared a revealing post about his brother in April last year. Alongside a photo of the siblings together, he wrote: "The Man - The Bro. I really don't talk about my brother enough. He's fantastic company. Funny, informative. A great Husband and Father with a successful business. He loves cooking and being social. When I tour he comes to lots of shows. If we play Manchester he's there every night, complaining that he has to be up for work in the morning! He's never shown any kind of jealousy towards what I do. Only support and appreciation. We go on holidays together. All the cousins get on so well. They all love each other.& Ian has the happiest marriage and their kids are all fantastic."
