He is the last of four brothers and the last surviving Bee Gee.

But grief-stricken Barry Gibb yesterday revealed the solace he finds in knowing that his siblings, twins Robin and Maurice, have now been reunited – and that he will join them both one day too.
‘They were both beautiful. And now they’re together,’ said Barry, his voice trembling with emotion, as he addressed the congregation at Robin’s funeral.

I was never a "fan" of the Bee Gee's but am still saddened at the loss of someone whose music was part of the background to my life.

The Gibb family emigrated to Australia.. from UK.. much as my parents did, and at about the same time. I must have been a child in Australia at same time they were.

As a small tribute.. my fave Bee Gees song

It must be so difficult for Barry to have lost 3 brothers. :32


I can't think of the Gibbs without thinking about SNL. Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake did very funny impersonations of the Gibbs!
