Bee Gee singers reveal their feud
November 3rd, 2009 - 12:27 pm ICT by IANSLondon, Nov 3 (IANS) Bee Gee singers have revealed that infighting between the Gibb brothers caused the group to split.
At times the fighting got so bad that their parents had to intervene. But now they want to get back after their band mate Maurice died. The brothers also compared their infighting to the Gallagher brothers of Oasis who also recently spilt, mirror.co.uk reports.
“They’re just copying us. Oh, we’ve been through all that. To be honest, I’m surprised they stayed together for as long as they did and I think they’ve gone as far as they can be together,” 59-year-old Robin said.
“They remind us of ourselves, but on a more physically violent level. We’ve been there and we came full circle,” 63-year old Barry added.
The Gibb brothers claim their friction is more from creative differences rather than conflict. Barry said: “Robin and I are both individuals but together we fire each other up. And if we can ignore the differences we have apart from music, we get the job done. Apart, I don’t know who I am.”
Robin added: “I don’t know who I am either. But I know who I am when we’re together performing. It’s just there. Whatever happens, how Barry thinks and feels will always be important to me because he’s part of my life. We created all of this.”
