Bee Gees to reunite for live shows
September 8th, 2009 - 11:32 pm ICT by IANSLondon, Sep 8 (IANS) Robin and Barry Gibb, surviving members of singing trio Bee Gees are set to reunite for a series of live shows, six years after the death of their bandmate and brother Maurcie Gibb.
The brothers declared they would no longer use the Bee Gees name after the tragic death of Maurice in 2003 but have now hinted they would regroup, telling reporters they would take the stage “when the time is right”, reports contactmusic.com.
The “Stayin’ alive” hitmakers have also revealed they are working on a new live act.
“The two of us are getting back together again as we speak,” said Robin.
But he also admits it will be difficult taking to the stage without his twin brother Maurice.
“(We) got through the breakwater of emotions… (Maurice was) not just a brother but a comrade in arms really. It’s an emotional thing when you lose someone that close,” said the 59-year-old.
