“Thankfully, he didn’t find me too awkward to enjoy gigs with.”
“Here are three significant memories.”

Barney reportedly did not wake up a couple of days ago after going to bed as usual.

In his announcement of Barney's passing, Justin wrote: “I am trying to console myself as much as possible, knowing that he loved us all and was aware of our love for him.
“He was so happy, content, and excited about the future. The sweetest, kindest soul. He simply went to sleep and didn’t wake up.
“I can’t fathom how the coming days and weeks will unfold, but I know we can cope – love always helps. I am him, and he is me.
“Sleep tight, Barney. Dad x.”
