The Bee Gees Real-Life Story Is Absolutely Tragic

- The Bee Gees are arguably one of the greatest bands in music history. There are one of the pioneering groups when it comes to three-part harmonies and among the most prolific songwriters in the music industry.
They have been occasionally referred to as the “Disco Kings” for achieving most of their global success during the disco era of the 1970s, but the group has written songs in various genres for other artists like Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, and Barbara Streisand.
Throughout their storied career, however, the band has hit some speed bumps and faced some tragic moments. Here's how they rose from a struggling family to writing songs that made John Travolta into a superstar despite their many tragedies.

What's the best Bee Gees song?
“Too Much Heaven”.
Best Andy Gibb song:
“Shadow Dancing”
The song Islands in the stream was written by them. It is my favorite. How Do You Mend a Broken Heart was good, as well.
You Win Again.
Night Fever, Jive Talking, Seven Seas Symphony, How Can You Mend A Broken Heart, More Than A Woman, etc., and I also skated to some of these songs at a skating rink back in the 1990s as kid.
Stayin’ alive
Thank you Gibbs Family. To those we have lost, rest in peace.
Barry feels it everyday without his three brothers. Greatest group ever.
Barry is stunning looking x
Yes he was, still is , but in his 30s he was at his prime. He reminds me a bit of George Michael.
Yes, he certainly was. Barry had his demons too. It's been reported he had an affair that nearly broke up his marriage.
It's crazy how he was stunningly handsome then and he is still stunningly handsome now even tho time has went by it seems like the more time went by the more he got that Benjamin button they all look stunningly good in there older years I wouldn't have mind lol
@@suenetteedwards5965 where did you hear it
@@suenetteedwards5965He did not. That’s a lie.
When Robin did temporarily quit in 1969 he recorded an absolutely superb LP called 'Sing slowly sisters' and it's so sad he never saw it receive the acclaim it deserved during his lifetime.
Robin ribbits his way to fame on the shoulders of his brothers. He is the inspiration for the movie "Twins".
Neil Supernaut - Robin's first solo album ever was "Robin's Reign", which was released in February of 1970 (I believe). "Sing Slowly Sisters" wasn't released back then, even though it was recorded in April of 1970.
@@joeyricci3796 Later they said that this break was not bad. Barry said that after that they were men, before it they were not really grown up.
And while Robin made his own music, Barry and Maurice still performed songs as the Bee Gees. Songs like "Don't forget to remember"
@@_germanikus_ Sometimes it's hard to separate fact from fiction with the Gibb boys. They are not reliable reporters of their own lives. Barry also said he never forgave Robin for leaving the band. I imagine that like most of us their memories are tied to their current mood and circumstances. I don't think they any of them were really hard liars and they never were self- aggrandizing in their not-quite-in-line-with-reality recollections. I cast no stones though because the first memory I have (and it's very clear) did not happen.
@@beeharbour so funny you point this out.....b/c idk how many interviews i've seen and one time Barry got his guitar on his 9th birthday and another time he got it for his 9th Christmas.......like you idthink they're lying i just think sometimes our memories do play tricks on us......esp as we age!!! lol
They have been always been my faves,for as long as I can remember! There will NEVER be a other like them!
I so miss the music they all made. I love them for ever.
Their music lives on, ....forever ❤❤❤
All Gib brothers were talented musicans and they deserved more recognition.
I think there is more to this story than we will ever know. Fame comes with a price and they all paid. We thank them for the beautiful music. 🎶💜
Robin gibb had one of the most beautiful voices of the world.
Beegees had a
extraordinary life.not tragic.they give us so many great songs,love them very much
God point...
Best band EVER.
Eh, I wouldn’t go that far.
Don't forget that "Queen" existed
Yes they are
Phenomenal Talent ✊🕺🤸♀️
@@qualityvideos1 I love Queen don’t get me wrong but Queen are almost a modern day band the way the young Gen Z’s seem to adore them!
Beegees forever ❤ ❤ ❤
Have always loved this group😋😋 I would have loved to have seen them live in concert
Me too Sharon !
Same here to
Thank you to all the Brothers Gibb for the wonderful music, much of which is absolutely heavenly. Keep on trucking, Barry! We love & respect you as a great big brother, musician, songwriter, & family man. God bless you & your family!❤❤❤
In '88 the Bee Gees announced that Andy would join the band but he died before he could fulfill his role
No they didn't but it's commonly stated otherwise. Andy was never going to be in the Bee Gees if only because Robin and Maurice would have to have been idiots to have allowed it. The battles about lead vocals was a gigantic issue from day 1. Andy was going to sing some leads as well I would imagine. Why would the twins want mini-Barry to join when they were already unhappy with a number of things that went on in the band that would be made worse by Andy' presence and Barry's frequent statement that he liked Andy better than his other two brothers. I don't suppose there is any reason to buy this tale since I'm sure I have nothing much to offer but other 3rd parties who may not have been any more reliable than the ones you have access to. It makes perfect sense though. In any case even Barry said Andy needed to be clean before the matter would even consider joining the band. At least in theory he was still moving along with a new solo album. It is a bit odd to me that he was with Robin to pretend to write songs when you'd have expected he would more likely been with Barry. They had such success with Andy's first album that would seem logical. As well, Barry didn't really trust Robin to do a blessed thing right and he was probably correct in the sense that I'd guess Robin was not as stern a taskmaster as Barry would have been. Robin had not been clean long himself. It might not have been the best idea to send a very active addict to live with an ex-addict still very much in a precarious spot himself.
@@beeharbour I didn’t know Robin was an addict
@@beeharbour Your argument makes perfect sense. In every family I've ever known there were personalities that conflicted which is fine. Just don't anyone outside get involved because all hell would break loose and it would be the entire family against the outsider.
@@beeharbour you are wrong, Barry said it himself that Andy was going to join The Bee Gees. You can find it in the documentary “How Do You Mend A Broken Heart.”
@@Skorpio1121 Ok. I'd heard different tales about it. I think it would have been disastrous but surprisingly they failed to ask me for my opinion.
Yea I agree parts are tragic but it's relatable tragedy, they had fame to continue moving them forward. Where as average families wouldn't. However they worked their rears off and earned I admire they're consistently overcoming. Shine On!!
Also when Barry was two years old, he tried to reach a pot of hot tea his mother has just made and poured it on himself, he was in a comma for, I think a couple of hours, and had to stay in the hospital por months. The scars are visible on his chest
1 trillionen THANK YOU, Mr and Ms Gibb for so great Guys🥰🥰🥰
Yes,..they had a difficult life ..growing up...that made them more determined later to succeed....in their life.
They came to fame before disco but made a comeback in the disco era
Personally, I love Robin's voice the best.
I don't want to imagine how bad it must be for a mother to bury 3 sons and for a son 3 brothers
Its very painful
Really very painful...
And husband
Rose Kennedy has her beat.
@@optimisticoutreach1236I believe it's a tie. Beating someone in this race is no win at all anyways

So two were twins ?
@@PInk77W1
Yes.
Robin and Maurice were fraternal twins.
Robin was born 35 minutes before Maurice.
Amen!
Stay strong Sir Barry and keep going
You are the Living Legend 😇🙏
As all lifes... happyness and sadness , high and down ...very human ...but real LEGENDS ! I miss them even having still the great Barry and the ' collective "👏🌹
*happiness
The last man standing...iloveuuu BARRY GIBB..STAY HEALTHY AS ALWAYS @GODBLESS..
Oh the good ole days. 🥺
I enjoyed listening to their beautiful songs.
Been a fan since 75 and will the day I pass❤❤❤
You go Barry . God's speed and God's love .
This is a truly tragic story
Phenomenal talent. Humble. Appreciative. And Wildly Attractive.
Yes, Robin Gibb was all those things. Sad he's been gone 10 years now.
I loved thebee gees. The disco days hurt them pretty bad but as they said at 1 time they didnt do it purposely !! Robin was my fav but they all was great !! Im proud to of been around in there time of fame !!
my dad looked just like Barry. he was very popular with the ladies
I just can't imagine the pain this family has been through. So very sad
This is cool story about the bees gees brothers
It looks like anyone who becomes famous...is unquestionably , talented and unique but in being so....they suffer as a consequence.
Sensitively done.
We may see & mention as this video did the tragic passing of most of them BUT the in-betweens of their lives were so rich & enormously successful that they were experiences we can only fancy & dream of.
Die 3 sind wirklich ein GESCHENK GOTTES, DANKE.......❤❤❤
Love this video
Wow great vid
What Sir Barry is using marijuana before? How did he quit from smoking and using drugs?
Sir Barry Gibb was the sole surving brother of the Bee Gees because he has giving the second chance of his life and also he is the last standing man.
Special thanks to the Gibb Family for sharing the video and their stories as well.
God bless and greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭 😇🙏🙏🙏
I really feel for Barry Being without his brothers must be awful And their poor mother having to bury three of her children
According to Barry Gibb himself, he has not seen the whole documentary that came out in 2020, understandably
Most people have tragic lives, that is human nature.
I agree with this. While I found I could sympathize deeply with Barry and find solace with his story - as I buried both my brothers at 44 and 63 and both my parents are gone - at least Barry has a lovely wife and five kids and grandkids and more money than he can ever spend in many lifetimes. He is very blessed. I am too as I have a wonderful husband, two grown boys and an awesome grandson. Most will have tragic lives, if they should live long enough. BTW, he still has a sister, right? So he has a sibling left. Has he made peace with her? At 74 he is probably also mourning his past fantastic career. What a life he must have lived!
I had a beautiful life until my mother died. She was my angel. I loved her so much. Now my life is not so sweet.
@@desertrose1226 so sorry to hear.
@@desertrose1226 i am sorry for your loss. Try and focus on God and lean into Him. He loves you very much.
The most tragic part is that we allow ourselves to think happiness might actually last. A laughing person is the only thing more tragic than a crying person.
Well done learned much
When the change is made-- by the album Horialzal!!!! The greatest song they ever wrote+ sang!!!! I wish people would hear it!!!!
Sorry but it was Barry who was the delinquent as a youth, not Robin.
Handy Manny - Barry stole a car at 11 and was on probation. Robin was the firebug who specialized in burning down billboards but also burned down an abandoned house. Barry didn't decide to straightened out their lives. The Manchester police did and suggested they take advantage of a labor shortage and cheap fare and move to Australia.
@kat lover - The Manchester police straightened them out, not Barry. He was only 11 when he stole a car. Robin was the firebug.
Fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🐛🐛🐛🐛 Robin Gibb ooooh!!!
They both were. The car Barry stole though was a toy one but it belonged to a policeman's son.
No, it was Robin.
i was literally on your channel and boom new upload! thanks!
SAME lmao
There are lots of errors in this report starting with failing to mention that Robin learned arson from his big brother Barry and it was Barry's car theft charge that got the family the invitation to leave England and to do so promptly. I don't say that to criticize Barry at all; the family saw a lot of very rough times. While in Australia Barry skipped an entire year of school without Ma and Pa Gibb even noticing; I kind of admire him for that.
In an interview I saw Robin described how their dad was away much of the time photographing families that lived in remote areas of Australia. He also told about how their mom wasn’t feeling well at that time, having to spend a lot of time resting in bed. With financial struggles and living away from extended family, those years must have been really difficult. For their parents anyway - the kids had each other and seemed to thrive for the most part.
WE NEED YOU PLEASE COME BACK AND SING!
Well two of them are dead so...
Happy new year
R I P Maurice & Robin⚘⚘& Andy⚘
They
Loved each other
♥️♥️♥️🌟🫶🫶🫶🌟🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
There stayin alive
@Jason Brown They are all alive in their music and in the hearts of the world. Yes, Barry is still living with his beautiful wife.
The fact that Barry can remember the trauma from 4 is a lesson for any parent
Robin was a good looking guy. Andy and Robin looks so much alike. Sad so very sad. Good for Barry Gibb though to do that
Barry and Andy looked alike. Robin looked nothing like Andy.
@@Diana-gn8rp In some few photos there is a pretty good resemblance but mostly Andy looked like a less handsome Barry. Still a good looking man though.
I think Andy favored Robin as well.
Lamentável ente esses vídeos não podem ser traduzidos.
Anderson ripped all his guests to pieces. I remember them walking off in a huff 😂🤣😂
DaLulusMama I don't think Maurice wanted to, he just felt obliged 😂
@@Walkerman404 Maurice wasn't a diva, he still had his feet on the ground
I admired and respected them even more after seeing this show. They stayed for the length of the interview in large part so didn’t disappoint the audience. They answered his questions with humor and humility. Anderson clearly crossed the line, multiple times. In my opinion they each handled him in their own way and with class and dignity.
@@giannafrancis5176 Anderson admitted in late years he went too far
Happy New Year Everyone 🍾🥂🎉
♥️♥️♥️
Just say no to drugs
ROBING WAS THE BREAD WINNER IN THE 60'S AND BABBRY IN THE 90'S THE GROUP WAS GREAT NO MATTER WHAT!!
Four out of five kids with addiction problems. It is a shame
‘’ Massachusetts “
Funniest part was Robin had never been there. They all loved the way he said the word!
Redcliffe is on the East coast of Australia.
It is an interesting and compelling story but yes, everyone in life has some tragedy. I think the rags to riches thing is very enticing but mainly their humility and honesty about how things were is very enlightening. Robin is hard to read, can be very vulnerable and seemingly kind and also cutting and downright rude in some videos I have seen. Barry was the alpha and probably pushed his weight around a lot. Maurice seems to be the most fun of the three, does not say a lot but can be hilarious. So many years later people are just as fascinated now as back then. I wish they were all here.
Nunca ví un vídeo de Robin donde fuera grosero, en realidad quien hablaba más era Barry, manejaba siempre la situación, ví muchas entrevistas de Robin con sus hermanos y solo, los que eran groseros eran los periodistas, que los criticaban por su etapa de la música disco, el nunca contesto de mala manera, si he visto a Barry enojarse cuando le han tocado este tema, y tiene toda la razón.
The Bee Gees shot to fame in the 60s…with research that should’ve been easy to catch.
How can say it's tragic, wrong use of word there, there lives are inspiring, an inspiration to all, your not for real...go away
We work so hard to enjoy life..After all fame and fortune, they died too young in a way. Alcohol, drug, suffering..Is it another sex, drug, fame formula? I didnt know BG's dark side. They made so beautiful and lovely songs. 'Too much heaven" gosh thats so beautiful love ballade.
Barry ought to record and tour as "The Bee Gee".
Omg I had his first album my kids got a lend of them and never got them back I think they used them as frisbies
Calling robin a “delinquent” is just rude. He might have made wrong choices when he was younger, but he still had a heart. I think we should just leave him alone
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
according to all the other hundreds of youtube videos, ALL celebrities have "tragedy" in their life......
Not sure why you put tragedy in quotes .. seems like it’s a bit of a put down ?
@@theresabrown1272 it was intended as a put down to all the people who post videos saying that these peoples lives are tragic. I have a hard time believing that all rich celebrities have "tragic" lives. Maybe some do but not as many as these videos would make us believe. They have all the money in the world. Everybody goes through trials and tribulations in life but "tragic?" I don't think so. There are hundreds of videos on celebrities that use the word " tragic" which makes me think that maybe its a bad idea to be a rich celebrity because my life will end up tragic....i just don't believe it....maybe we're all better off without having money...i'm as poor as a snake but i wouldn't say my life was "tragic"...so if we are to believe what the videos tell us, i'm comforted to know that my life is better than these celebrities' lives and i wouldn't want to be them....its like "thank God i don't own the world" like they do....
Mo died of a heart attack? Technically, maybe. Suffice it to say, Fate was not kind to Mo.
I remember reading he died from a twisted intestine !
@@theresabrown1272 Mo's death was tragic & complicated. There's a news article that recounts events leading to his death...you can Google it. Very heart-breaking.
@@theresabrown1272He died of a heart attack while being treated for a twisted intestine.
Maurice's death had absolutely nothing to do with past drinking. As a matter of fact there was a settlement out of court against the hospital for malpractice.
@kathleendewey5347 True, Mo registered under an alias, so he was ignored, misdiagnosed, told he must wait for a specific doctor...well, his twisted intestine ruptured releasing massive amounts of bacteria into his bloodstream, causing the "heart attack" during emergency surgery, life-saving equipment was floors away & arrived way too late. A medical professional commented had Mo managed to survive, brain damage & loss of his digestive system were almost certain. So, at the bitter end, maybe Fate did show some mercy to poor Mo.
Barry 💕 💕
Oh wow I never knew that thing about Barry being abused
2:20 when you’re into all of them.
Do jimmy Ruffin
Morris was still chatting 🙏
They all smoked and drank too much.That was stupid,particularly as their voices were part of their popularity.They were a great band.Fantastic music.
I want a biopic movie with Bradley cooper as barry gibb
It was a rumor but Cooper is too old unless the focus of the movies is on the 1990s which seems unlikely. The drama had died down by then.
They make smoking marijuana sound like the devil.
The only reason the government wants to criminalize cannabis because they're struggling to get their share of the profit. It's beneficial for so many different ailments from Glaucoma, anxiety , muscle spasticity in MS patients, help chemo patients as well as Ca patients.
@@JL-iu7fk I know this that’s why I can’t understand why they’re making it sound so bad.
I did way back and I'm 66, pot wasn't bad, it's other stuff people take with it that makes it bad, it's only a weed, lol! 🥰
What about Andy?
Hello melinda how are you?
❤❤❤❤gaaaf nummer😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think that Barry Gibb has the perfect teeth I have ever seen.
Haha, he had veneers, then dentures.
Robin ribbits his way to fame on the shoulders of his brothers. He is the inspiration for the movie "Twins".
Robin was the best Vibrato voice in the world, this documentary is wrong on a lot of issues
@@lindajames978 Fun fact...he sang lead on "Rainbow Connection" when Kermit fell ill. Toured in his place and nobody noticed...voice and face match!
Robin's voice better than Barry's? Lol!
Yes it actually is
That’s a matter of opinion. I prefer Barry’s voice. Technically musically in some way Robin’s is better not sure, I’m not a music scholar. Barry sings falsetto and that’s not his real vocal range. He realized he could sing it and so he does. He started singing falsetto because he liked the R&B sound and many R&B groups in the 70’s had a falsetto in their group. I love R&B music from the 70’s
chrissscott - Robin's voice was unmatched.
Robin's voice better than Barry's? For sure! This is not a matter of opinion, this is just the plain truth.
@@reneehicks4629 I agree with you. Preference is a matter of opinion rather than fact but Barry’s range was greater, from baritone through to falsetto and I find Robin’s extreme vibrato irritating. Interestingly it was Robin that pushed Barry to use his falsetto feeling that it increased record sales. Barry has since said he felt it was overused.
why don't they ever mention about there sister?
That's what I have always wondered? Can't feel sorry for Barry losing on of his siblings when it sound like he has a sister he is not even acknowledging. These guys lived a charmed life and Barry still does.
Or Barrys 1st wife. She's hardly ever acknowledged.
Morris? Isn't Maurice's name pronounced "Mo-reece", which is why they called him "Mo"?
You'd figure but no its Morris
GreenBeans No it's not pronounced how it is spelled its Morris Barry has clarified this many times as did the other 2 when they were with us
In England we pronounce it Morris. My uncle spelt his name the same and was also known as Mo!
Andy Gibb death symptoms could be from prescription drugs also.
It was a viral infection but his heart was weakened by PREVIOUS drug abuse. There were no drugs or alcohol in his system when he died.
According to Robin, with whom he was living at the time, Andy was falling down drunk everyday. He had knocked out his front teeth in that manner. Both Barry and Maurice suffered some sense of guilt because their last conversations with Andy had turned somewhat harsh owing to his drunkenness on the phone.
Later
They had some ruff times and did things that boys do, but I wouldn't call their life tragic.
No it's not.....
Please of german
Don't idealize these people.
Andy had a daughter that he threw away. Robin did creepy stuff with the creep Dwina and that gross Asian housekeeper. Robin had a supposed "love child" that was far from "love." All BS.
Robin's daughter by asian housekeeper looks like she has down syndrome.
Robin's supposed "wife" Dwina is totally insane. It's all BS.
The brothers had a second sister that mysteriously vanished to never be heard of again. The father Hugh and Andy mention this 2nd sister on the Mike Douglas show.
Three out of four (3/4) of the brothers die prematurely.
Maurice was an alcoholic and abusive.
So many facts are wrong!
This is bullshit, ine month later he has a new BMW and new house?not possible.
