In the 1970s and 1980s, The Bee Gees were a global sensation. After their family relocated to Australia, Barry, the oldest brother, and Robin and Maurice, the fraternal twins, first started playing with music. The band became well-known within a decade.

Their youngest sibling, Andy Gibb, went his own way and rose to prominence as a musician in his own right about the same period. Andy tragically passed suddenly at the age of 30, leaving his three brothers in great sorrow.

That sorrow is still very much a part of Barry’s life today. What transpired to Andy, then? Why did he not enlist in his brothers’ crew? Here is everything you need to know.

Great bands that were started by siblings abound. The Kinks, The Allman Brothers, Sister Sledge, Gladys Night & The Pips are just a few examples. The Jackson Five, which consists of Michael Jackson and his brothers, is another. However, the Bee Gees are the group that has most likely garnered attention, at least in terms of pioneering new musical genres.

Bee Gees – the Gibb brothers

Barry, Maurice, and Robin, three English brothers, achieved enormous success in the 1970s and 1980s, bringing their amazing dance and disco music to concert halls, discos, and arenas all over the world. However, despite the Gibbs family’s overall success in music, they have also had their fair share of loss.

Barry, the oldest Bee Gee brother, has had it especially hard because he had to watch the deaths of all three of his siblings. The man claimed a few years ago that music is the only way he can cope with everything.

He said he regretted not having a solid relationship with each of his brothers before they passed away.

”My greatest regret is that every brother I’ve lost was in a moment when we weren’t getting on, so I have to live with that, and I’ll spend the rest of my life reflecting on that,” Barry said.

”I’m the last man standing. I’ll never be able to understand that as I’m the eldest.”

“The three of us became one person”

Barry started crying later on in the conversation and claimed he had never done that before when talking about his brothers.

“Nobody ever really knows what the three of us felt about each other,” he said. “Only the three of us knew.”

He continued: “It was such a unifying thing. The three of us became one person. We all had the same dream. That’s what I miss more than anything else.”

Barry and the rest of the Gibb family have our sincere regrets for losing Andy, Maurice, and Robin. The best way to remember them is to tell others about their inspiring journey to success and to express gratitude for all that they have accomplished via their amazing music.

Please, share this story to honor Andy Gibb, Maurice Gibb, and Robin Gibb. Thank you for everything.
