Maurice Gibb - Fighting Back

[@leanneadams2549]

Can I just say that man has the cutest smile I have EVER HEARD seen on a man!!!!! And I didn’t think it was possible for me to live the Bee Gee ‘s even more !!! From childhood to now - always in my heart !❤

[@victoriaferris4398]

Maurice Gibb and his two bothers were a different species..crazy as that may sound..you couldn't describe or compare there good nature there remarkable talent and daring perseverance with any other entertainers .. God blessed the Brothers Gibb and there parents and families...

[@lindajames978]

Powerful message Maurice ❤RIP Sweet man, gone but never forgotten, your music lives on forever ❤❤❤

[@gentrysmith4924]

Maurice was a beautiful soul. How wonderful he was able to finally enjoy his life and his family. It's so incredibly sad for all of us that he, Robin and Andy have all left this world but I'm sure they are making some fantastic music together in heaven. RIP Maurice --- you will always be missed!

[@Luv2u01]

Such a beautiful man and beautiful family. His profound honesty just makes you love him more. Absolutely love Mo and The Bee Gees. Sorry for their loss and may he, and Robin, rest in peace.

[@erlindacaguiat9]

I miss Mo and Robin de a rly. It is sad that Barry don't have the twin and Andy.

[@erlindacaguiat9]

Im so proud of you Mo. You are in a better place. I cried every time i watch this interview

[@jojijosette5946]

Good upbringing had a lot to do with it. Theyre all so cool, including Andy.

[@JudyBarnes-y3i]

Maurice was such a beautiful soulful man and he took the road into healing and he sure had so much to live for , and he worked hard for him and his family and he sure looked so great after he git help and he made such a great recovery and his life just git a hundred per cent better , he was such a beautiful adorable amazing man , his and Yvonne’s second marriage was truly beautiful Yvonne they were certainly soul mates

[@nalinimenon641]

This was a truly beautiful, courageous man... Rest in peace dear Maurice

[@denisehedden5108]

🥀Amazing interview with Maurice Gibb he's been through hell but brought his life together before he died. I love him and respect him for for whom he had become. 🥀 🥀RIP Maurice Gibb We Love You Forever and Always🥀🕊🥀☝️

[@niveacavalcantidealbuquerq4601]

He has always been my favorite Bee Gees, and always, always will be. Tenderness, sweetness in my memories and heart. There are people who arrive in this world, who even though they experience difficulties and suffering, present us with grace, with emotion, with tenderness. Beautiful compositions, beautiful voice, beautiful smile, beautiful soul. Thank you so much, Maurice Gibb. God bless you .

[@Dicedealer64]

He was an unbelievably beautiful person...I have always loved him and his brothers. RIP Mo you are Robin are sorely missed!

[@barbaragodzik6779]

I am 77 years of age and my dad's sister, my aunt Millie, always told me you need to love yourself before you can love anyone else. So I do agree with Maurice when he said this. It brought back a lot of memories.

[@janryo716]

IT is absolutely true.

[@madkittyjoey70]

I very much admire Maurice for being completely open about his addiction to alcohol and his decision to get sober. Definitely shows people the dangers of alcoholism and that there's hope for those struggling with alcoholism. :-)

[@jessiemyrle4907]

You know whenever I am feeling down or beaten I turn to this video. Maurice went through so much and triumphed over it all. He gives me a feeling that if he can do something so hard I can handle the little stuff in my life. I am sure he would never have thought that so very very many years he would still be helping with this video of strength. RIP MO you are still missed❤️❤️❤️💔

[@jojijosette5946]

Well-said. Thank you.

[@ElbaMastrogiovanni]

Eras un ser excepcional...hermosamente humilde,lleno de amor y compromiso,con gran fortaleza y desprendimiento...Te amo Maurice...Dios te llevó rápido para que la maldad del.mundo no te tocará... Ahora estás junto a tus hermanos formando el mejor coro de ángeles, Que descancen en paz...

[@sarahhickman8377]

I've watched this 10 times and I love it. It's a 'sobering' interview but so enjoyable to watch with Maurice's charm, humour, humbleness and eloquence. Best of all for the love of his family. I love him... I'm going to watch it again now x

[@maryhough5343]

I have watched it several times. I really admire every thing he did to get him self clean and sober. What a wonderful man. Will miss you always ❤❤❤

[@jeanwalters7576]

I have watched this documentary about Maurice many times too Sarah. And I have to admit I cry each time. I feel drinking caused his life to be cut short-unfortunately 🥲

[@BeardyChild]

Tks

[@kathleendewey5347]

​​@@jeanwalters7576I like what you said except your last statement. I don't think drinking had anything to do with his early death. He died from having a twisted intestine from birth, that the hospital's negligence ended up causing complications which caused him to go septic and his blood supply to be cut off. That and the amount of pain that he suffered caused cardiac arrest. Then they went ahead and did the surgery anyways after having had the cardiac arrest.

[@debbiehorn8263]

This interview is what inspired me to seek help to change my life . I come back to watch and listen to Mo for my booster shot . Love this man , He helped me save my life . RIP and know you saved lives with your complete honesty . Love Always , D.

[@nc3468]

Thank you for sharing your story God bless you! 🙏❤️✨

[@donnanyiri6028]

I watch this video everyday. He is and was a genuine inspirational man who gives love even in his afterlife. He has always been my favorite Bee Gee. His outgoing humor and love for his family and brothers is a true inspiration to all of us and this 2022. I love their music. I call it my music.

[@asksophie]

Maurice, Thank you for opening up your heart and helping others, without self-consciousness or any desire to hide the problem. You've shared your Music for years, awesome to listen to...but this may be your greatest gift. I pray your children and Evonne forever feel your goodness and your love. The tragedy is that you left us so young.

[@eduardochaparro6272]

To family Gibb Thank You for the music.

[@ms-0503]

YES, the tragedy is..you left us to early....

[@albacan]

Maurice is my favourite musically and I admire him personally. I've been alcohol free for >5 years

[@melissaphillips3088]

What a lovely man who overcame so much! RIP Maurice 🌹

[@afreakaboucher1316]

Thanks Mo for sharing this with the world 🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍 .

[@petereuropa]

He is, was, a very interesting personality. I believe that this interview can Help people in the same situation that he was in. Intelligent, oh yes, and a person with a big warm heart. And he was blessed to have a nice family. BeeGees forever!

[@leteciabautista549]

petereuropa ...

[@ms-0503]

...yes i think....a man with a big warm heart...i was so sad when i heard this Interview..

[@minadavid2647]

Maurice sang so differently with his two brothers..his choice of music identifies his personality.The cool and happy guy..

[@BeardyChild]

He was not so ‘happy’ like he seemed or he wanted to appear. He was the fragile one.

[@Syland-o8d]

Cet homme n'était pas heureux depuis sa naissance, et ses rapports houleux avec barry , ne l'ont pas aidé. Il avait une jolie petite famille qui a souffert de de ses addictions mais qui a supporté par amour pour lui.❤❤

[@cababyboomerq6012]

Yes. It is too bad that many people did not begin to appreciate Maurice’s contribution to the group until after he died. After he got sober and stayed sober his talent was obvious. After his death, Barry was right when he felt it could never be the Bee Gees without Maurice. I can only imagine what might have been if he had never been a heavy drinker. And I agree with Lynn, he was “utterly charming.” His mom once said that when the boys were younger he was “always everyone’s mate.” It is clear to see that was very true.

[@ambergardner8139]

Thank You Gene Payne for posting this. I am a huge Maurice Gibb fan and I saw bits and pieces of this interview but not the entire thing until now. It's such a sad story. This wonderful man finally had his life going in the right direction and then not long after this his life was over. I am happy that Maurice was able to fight this and show his family the good side of him and have these wonderful moments before he passed on. Maurice Gibb, you died way too soon. You were a wonderful man and artist and you will forever be in my heart.

[@rebeccaryan3621]

Absolute pure respect for Mo's honesty and willingness to change. What a beautiful man. And can we just pause a moment and be thankful to God for Yvonne and how she stood with him? What an amazing, beautiful woman. Bee Gees, one of my forever favorite groups. I pray for their families that are left. May they all come to know Jesus. It's the most important thing.

[@patriciabrown8016]

Dearest Moe I am so proud of you for taking care of yourself and your family and helping yourself with your alcoholism. You are up in heaven we love you every day and think of you you’re beautiful your family is beautiful. Good luck to them.

Maurice was a fantastic man. I adore him.

[@sheribethbloom9107]

Yes , Maurice was a good man . My favorite, something very appealing/ special about him . 🥰🙏🏻

[@jessiemyrle4907]

Respect that is what I feel for this man, he faced his worst devils, fought them and won. He was not a BEE GEE he was just a man. Yes, the word is respect❤️👍👏💔

[@urbanmatahari]

In case anyone is wondering, Maurice remained sober until his untimely death. What a beautiful man, "inside and out."♥

[@sandym6475]

I truly love just how much this family loves one another, and how they fight for each other. As corny as it sounds, it just puts a smile on my face. I wish Mo could have lived to be an old man, if for no other reason then for his family. They love him, and I'm sure miss him a great deal. As does the rest of the world...RIP Maurice

only few people are able to fight the power and influence of alcohol let alone to keep but someone in the mainstream society you would think it would be impossible. this guy even though hes gone now gives me hope for the future

It takes a lot of guts to fight your addiction. Andy didn't make it. I am so proud of Maurice - true courageous MAN! He did it! Very honest interview! I am sure it will help to many people.

[@haroldsanteliz6153]

Thank you Morris : Because you Were honest and sincere, you were authentic and you acknowledge your problem and your weaknesses and shortcomings, oh man , I’ve been in Miami for the last 35 years and I met a lot of celebrities here and some of them were nice but most of them were real stukups , I knew you guys lived in Miami Beach and I used to go to visit my friends on the Beach and a lot of people talked about you guys because you guys were down to earth, I saw you guys in a store once and you were nice and down to earth , now that I hear your testimony on this interview, I wish I had met you guys , ‘cause I loved your music but now that heard you talking on this video I’m sorry I never met you guys, I never spoke to none of you but I admired you guys , but after this conversation you had with this TV lady I can see your authenticity and I know that you were a great person, they called you the genius multitalented and multi instrumentalist, but I can see the human being, although you’ve been gone for 20 years , i wish I had met you guys , thank you Morris for being an authentic man that recognized your shortcomings and your problems with alcoholism, I think that you and your brothers were greater than a lot of celebrities that act like Superstars and put everybody else down , thank God for this interview, Rest in Peace Maurice Gibb , God bless your Memory and your wife and children .

[@ouidalanuza7177]

It takets a real man to expose his vulnerability and battle with the demons. Honouring Mo, especially his death anniversary is coming this month of May. Knowing in the year of his death what his primary medical diagnosis is all about, laregely a predisposing factor, his alcohol abuse was perhaps his coping to reverse any symptoms he was experiencing. Mo's honesty is admirable. Rest in peace, rest in pride, Mo.

Do any of you know what this is about - have you even listened -- Listen to the interview and then look at your self - at your own situation. This is such an honest expression of alcolism and probably depression - oh yeah the Bee Gees could never suffer from depression !!!!! Well , anyone can suffer from depression. The man has gone - if you want him to be a Bee Gee for ever to be a Bee Geee then that is what he will be

The bee gees were raised extremely well by their parents all the sons are very intelligent and down to earth

[@maddielanghi3618]

You’re an idiot. Those parents work those kids to death from the time they were five years old, the twins and Barry was nine. They had to support the family. Why do you think Maurice drank so much because he was molested by a stripper when he was nine years old in a dressing room, while not being supervised by his parents. Robin had 1 million affairs and a child out of wedlock because of how he was raised. The only reason Barry was on the up and up was because his wife Linda was a strong woman. Their older sister Leslie had a baby out of wedlock Because she was a stripper to help support the family. When they lived in Australia they moved 22 times because the father never paid rent he just skipped out and they moved in the middle of the night. The Gibb parents are losers.
