London, Nov 25 (IANS): Singer Gary Barlow is scared of taking flights and gets more nervous when the plane takes off.
The 42-year-old feels he suffers aerophobia because he is afraid of dying, reports mirror.co.uk.
“I’m scared of flying - especially the take-off. I just don’t like it, and yet I have to do so much of it. I get really nervous," said Barlow.
“Maybe it’s because I’m scared of dying," he added.
"The X Factor" judge is seeking help to get over his phobia.
He said: “Someone from Virgin offered me a course that they do and I said, ‘Listen, I’ll bring 10 other people I know who are really scared.'”
“Apparently, once you’ve done it, you’re never worried again. They talk you through all the noises and explain that this thing is happening for that reason. I don’t know if it’s hypnotherapy or what exactly they do, but it’s meant to be brilliant and only takes an hour,” added Barlow.
