Surviving Bee Gees to reunite for live shows
September 8th, 2009 - 11:41 am ICT by ANILondon, September 8 (ANI): Bee Gees member Robin Gibb has revealed that he and brother Barry are ready to get back together as a band, six years on from the death of bandmate Maurice.
“The two of us are getting back together again as we speak,” Robin said on BBC Radio’s Test Match Special cricket programme.
He added that he and brother Barry have “got through the breakwater of emotions” following their sibling’s demise in 2003 and are planning a series of live dates.
Robin mentioned that his late twin was “not just a brother but a comrade in arms really”.
He said: “It’s an emotional thing when you lose someone that close.”
When Maurice died the two brothers had said that said they would no longer use the Bee Gees name.
But Robin told last year that they would be back “when the time is right”.
The Gibb brothers won multiple Grammy awards during their career and were one of the biggest acts of the 1970s. (ANI)
