Bee Gees week: We’d give up all our success to have our brothers back again
Criteria Studios is perhaps the place where Barry and Robin Gibb feel the loss of their brother Maurice most keenly.
Sitting in the Miami building where the Bee Gees recorded some of their biggest hits, they reveal the pain they feel to be back here without him.
“You look around and just think you’re going to see him,” says Barry, 63. “But now we know we must move on. We all have to.”...to read more, click here
Bee Gees to re-form for live comeback
The band's two surviving members, Robin and Barry Gibb, are to reunite for the first time since the death of their brother Maurice for a series of gigs
The two surviving Bee Gees have announced that they will re-form for a series of gigs. Brothers Robin and Barry Gibb have not played together since the
death of Maurice, Robin's twin, in 2003.
"The two of us are getting back together again," Robin Gibb announced on one of BBC Radio's, er, cricket programs. The brothers have finally
"got through the breakwater of emotions" following Maurice's death, Gibb said. "[Maurice was] not just a brother but a comrade in
arms really ... It's an emotional thing when you lose someone that close."
Maurice Gibb died on 12 January 2003, a few days after suffering a heart attack. An autopsy revealed ischemic enteropathy as the cause of death – a twist in
Gibb's bowel and small intestine. At the time, Robin and Barry Gibb said that they would no longer use the Bee Gees name.
That changed last summer, when Robin Gibb said that they "decided [it] on an emotional level ... Whether or not that will change, we don't know. It's a
personal thing and we'll do it when the time is right".
Bee Gees were one of the biggest acts of the 70s and are one of the bestselling artists of all time.
