The 'Take That' group member said that the One Direction band mates should hang on amid rumours that they will split in the near future and insists it's too early for them to do so, reported Contactmusic.
"There will be rows in a band but you are brothers. They might be close sometimes and sometimes not, but it's part of the foundations, the boys have to take care of one another and look after one another," Barlow said.
"I think it's brilliant there is such a group representing Britain. If there's any suggestion of trouble, they need to hang on in there. It's way too early to be thinking about splitting up," he added.
