The Last BeeGee: Barry Gibb's emotional first interview following Robin's death | 7NEWS Spotlight

The BeeGees were a phenomenon with hit songs and legions of fans. But their success has been tinged with heartache, starting with the death of brother Andy in 1988, Maurice in 2003 and Robin in 2012. Rahni Sadler sat down with Barry in the months following Robin's passing for an emotional interview, which helped him come to terms with the tragedy.

*As a childhood friend of all three of the lads (Andy hadn't been born), I keep trying to get to the end of this interview without being in floods of tears. Not least because I know Barry was just 100% Barry throughout the whole interview. No ego, no heirs and graces. Just a mate whose **_"job"_** was to write and sing songs with his brothers. It's hard... I mean really hard, to see him surrounded by his big, beautiful family, yet at the same time, he feels like a man alone without Mo and Rob around. I know from personal experience, that the worst thing about getting older, isn't creaking bones, gaining a few extra pounds, or losing your hair. No. The worst thing (by far) is losing family members and lifetime friends who all played a part in making you the person you ultimately become. Sorry to be so downbeat, but that's just how I feel today. May your God bless you, whoever and wherever you are today x.*

[@rogerguerin3679]

Thanks very much mate. So true it shows the human spirit is number 1. Faith hope and love will always shine through

[@rosannefeneley4156]

Thank you for sharing, LJD Manx Fella - very moving and powerful. I am yet to see the entire interview, as it's just too late at night and I only found it about one hour ago. Barry Gibb sounds like a lovely, beautiful soul as I believe all the members of the group were. Sadly, I have to leave further viewing until tomorrow night. However, I know I'll truly value the time spent on the Bee Gees, from last night, tonight, tomorrow night and in future days ahead, God Bless and I'm sorry for your loss of all Bee Gees other than Barry, I pray you find solace and comfort, when you take a trip down memory lane whilst listening to their extraordinary music from Heaven : Barry's voice is stunning and their harmonising is excellent and I'm sure the angels like to join him and his deceased brothers in song. I pray you and your loved Ines have a blessed and joyous Christmas and Happy New Year for 2022.

I am trying to get to the end of this interview without being in tears. I've listened to Bee Gees videos all night, and know that hearing Barry speak now, he is 100% real with no air or ego. His 'job' was to write and sing songs with his best mates and brothers, Maurice and Robin. It is hard to see Barry with a beautiful family, but at the same time, I feel that he is alone. From personal, and later professional experience as a Reg. Nurse caring for palliative people, our issues aren't aging, broken bones or weight gain. The worst thing {by far} is the loss of family, lifetime friends and patients. All of these people play a huge role in shaping the person we ultimately become. I am still a caregiver, and much wiser for the journey. May God bless you Barry with precious memories, and the most incredible music ever made, to touch your heart and soul for many years ✨️💞. I've shared to Isle of Man family and friends from Ontario, Canada ❤️ xx

Hello Betty, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??

[@kellyh4415]

Breaks my heart too. Barry is the last of his brothers. I miss Andy Gibb too. All were so talented. I wish for peace to the Gibb family.

[@bonniel3115]

Such a beautiful family. Many of my teen years spent loving and crushing over 4 beautiful men and diving deeply into their music and the stories those songs told. Barry, you are undeniably the one who has touched my heart and soul, sharing your beautiful voice, music, family, life, and character with us all. It’s so much more than just being famous, the lives and hearts of everyone you have touched whether personally, through music, or the dreams of that persons heart that will never be face to face with you. Love and prayers with a surmount of peace for you and your family.

I was blessed to be able to catch the last few amazing years of The Beegees. They were the first CD i ever bought and ill always love them. Their legacy will absolutely never die.

I think that’s possibly one of the greatest interviews I’ve ever seen. Such skill and such respect for his emotional state. Barry is a top top guy and it must be so hard being part of a band of brothers and finding yourself being the only one left.

[@rigolonzinbrin]

Especially since he lost the youngest first and he is above all the eldest. I had two brothers, one two years younger and the other five years older than me. I lost the youngest of the family in Jan. 2002, six months after losing my wife, he was not yet 45! My eldest passed away on January 1, 2016 and I remain alone. I have only one child, my daughter and that's it. It's very hard to lose your brothers, whether you are rich or poor...

[@outpost31737]

My heart goes out to Barry and his family. I cannot imagine the depths of grief he's going through it must be awful and to lose Maurice so quickly and then Robin is utterly heart breaking. I hope Barry's in a better place today. Thank you to Rahni for conducting a very respectful and dignified interview.

[@jackieapel8856]

Such a nice way of putting it. I hope that Barry can heal and find peace with the fact that he is the last of the brothers, and even if life has changed for him, it is still worth living and remembering the good times. He is a great person, and so unselfish in his ways. It made me sad to see him crying. So many of their songs were sort of auto--biographical, unfortunately... I lived in Florida in the 1970's. Everybody knew them, and some people even partied with them at this place called Stiltsville, off of Key Biscayne. They were the "real deal" and brought a lot of excitement and awe, as well as defining the disco era. Their music has certainly outlasted the era. It is eternal.
