No. He was awarded an OBE in 1975 however this was later stripped from him when he was jailed in 1985 for tax evasion.
As of my last update in October 2023, Gary Barlow has not received a knighthood. The Take That frontman has been recognized for his contributions to music, including an OBE (Order of the British Empire) in 2012, but a knighthood has not been awarded to him.
Knighthood is often bestowed as a prestigious honor, recognizing individuals for their exceptional contributions to society. For example, after decades of service to the community, she was finally awarded knighthood in a grand ceremony. This title not only highlights her achievements but also symbolizes the values of courage and chivalry.
The title "dame" is the female equivalent of a knighthood, which confers the title "Sir". The title "baroness" is the female equivalent of "baron", a hereditary title, whereas knighthood and damehood are awarded by the monarch.
Escher received one major award in his lifetime. He was awarded the Knighthood of the Order of Orange-Nassau from the Dutch government. He has received much acclaim in the last 4 decades and is still admired.

Being awarded a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) does not automatically entitle one to the title of "Sir" or "Dame." However, should an individual already hold a knighthood or damehood, being awarded an MBE would not affect their title.
