Last Surviving Bee Gee Honours His Brothers

Barry Gibb, the last surviving Bee Gee, says his plans to go back on the road for a UK tour will be a celebration of life with his brothers.

The 66-year-old singer/songwriter saw his entertainer brother Andy, who was not part of the group, die of a heart complaint in 1988, aged 30.

Bee Gee Maurice died due to complications during surgery in 2003, aged 53, and his twin Robin succumbed to cancer last May.

Barry played in Australia earlier this year and will entertain audiences in Birmingham, Manchester, London and Dublin in the autumn.

"On stage is hard. One minute you feel they're right with you, the next you know you've got to pull something off yourself," he told The Sun.

"The audiences have been incredible, they've been so supportive. They're finding closure as well."

Gibb said his wife Linda, with whom he has five children, had told him to stop moping around the house.

"She told me to get off my backside and stop going along with the whole idea that everything was finished for me.

"She said, 'You've got music, so make music!' That was her kicking me, so I decided to jump right in."

The absence of his brothers is eased by having his eldest son Stephen on guitar, and Maurice's daughter Sam singing with him.

He said: "We created this show that really celebrates everything we ever did, or as much as we could put in to a show. I feel good. I felt a lot worse last year with all the stress over Robin.

"Personally, I think Robin knew he was dying. I knew he was ill for a long time, it wasn't just the last couple of years.

"It's a hard reality, but we will all see it at some stage. That's the lesson, it's not unique to any person."

The brothers were born on the Isle of Man before the family moved to Australia in 1958.

Their mother, Barbara, was at every one of Barry's Australian shows last year, aged 92.
