Barry Gibb biography

Barry Gibb was born on September 1 on the island of Maine. He was one of the five children in the family of Barbara and Hugh Gibb, three younger brothers and an older sister grew up with him. In the year, the whole family moved to England, and when Barry was 12 years old, they moved again, this time to the Australian Brisben. Music attracted Barry since childhood - together with the brothers Maurice and Robin, he tried to play in the group, they even gave small home concerts.

Their group “The RatTlesnakes”, subsequently renamed the famous “Bee Geees”, was founded in Australia. After a certain success in the middle of the X, the musicians moved to England, where the success of the group was even more undoubted. So, soon three brothers became one of the most successful groups of all time. Access Restricted “our group has always been criticized a lot, although no one really knew us,” Barry Gibb.

Most of the songs from the repertoire of the legendary pop-trio were written by Barry, and besides, the author he turned out to be incredibly talented and successful. So, in the year in the Billboard Hot rating at the same time, five Barry songs were in the first ten. In addition to his team, Barry wrote songs for other musicians, Diana Ross, Dolly Parton, Barbra Streisand and many others performed with his songs.

In the list of the most successful British composers, Barry took 5th place. On the first line of the chart Billboard Hot, Barry's songs were visited 6 times. It is noteworthy that from time to time conflicts flashed in the team, and the brothers quarreled, sometimes not working together for a long time. However, be that as it may, almost every time, having studied with solo and other projects, all participants understood that the greatest success was possible precisely as part of the Bee Geees, and it all started again.

We were literally glued to each other. But next year excesses have already begun. Drunk, pills. Scene, huge ego. " It was then that rivalry began, and with it, disunity appeared. At the beginning of the x, the brothers seriously decided to engage in their own projects and did not play together up to a year, but their next album was released in M. The first wife of Gibba was Morin Bates, the marriage with which broke up.

Barry later married the beauty Linda Gray, five children were born in their family. By the way, his son Steve also became a musician, a guitarist, and toured with his father's group. And Michael Jackson became the godfather of the other son Barry, Michael. Michael in Barry Gibba’s house in Miami, G., like many groups, “Bee Geees” has repeatedly encountered a subservient interest in style - the musical fashion of those years was capricious and unpredictable.

Barry and his brothers more than once had to seriously experiment with Fank, Jazz Rock, Disco and pop style, in order to stay “afloat”. It got to the point that it became difficult for us to breathe. I remember we received threats by murder. I really appreciate my personal space. And from glory, no matter what this word implies, I am not very delighted. ” After death in the year of Maurice Gibba, the team ceased to exist.

The discography of the group, without a doubt, deserves a separate article, because “Bee Geees” has released a huge number of albums, collections, compilations and singles, and, speaking of the circulations of the group, we can mention the figure in more than millions. Together with his team, Barry became the owner of all conceivable awards from the world of music, including a star on the Alley of Glory in Hollywood, the Hall of Glory of Songs, the Hall of Glory of Rock and Roll, and many other small and large awards from the musical industry.

By the way, Barry is quite active on television - he repeatedly became a participant and a leading show like “The Barry Gibb Talk Show”. It helps. " Barry gave Andy his first guitar for twelve. When Andy grew up, he wanted to go to Barry in everything. Andy had a handful of hits in the late seventies, almost all of which Barry wrote. But he hooked on cocaine and quaalud.

In the end, he got rid of addiction, but it was already too late. He died in the year from inflammation of the heart muscle provoked by many years of drug addiction, five days after his thirty years. Barry was devastated. Even now he feels his guilt that Andy took up show business. He left too young.

" Maurice passed away the next year. He had problems with alcohol - in the late seventies he had to rely on the wall, only to get to the stage. He was cured in the nineties, but died of a heart attack at the age of fifty -three years. Undoubtedly, prolonged alcohol addiction played a role. At first, Barry and Robin said that they would continue to work like Bee Geees, but soon abandoned this idea: “Everything has changed.

We did not want to be BEE GEES without MO. ” An hour after the end of the funeral, when the twin Maurice, Robin, and other family members left the chapel Riverside, Barry Gibb and Michael Jackson arrived in the chapel. The representative of the Family Family noted: "Barry was too grief to come to the funeral. He and Michael arrived to pray in a private way."Only two brothers remained alive, who never got along with each other.

Robin and Barry tried to organize a concert in memory of Maurice, but could not even agree on this. In February, Gibb played his first solo concert in his life. At this time, Robin underwent a course of chemotherapy. Barry went to London to visit him. Robin told his brother that he loves him. Six weeks later, he died. When it comes to brothers, Gibb says: “The only thing I regret is that we were not close friends at the end.

There was always tension, in one form or another. Andy went to Los Angeles, as he wanted to achieve everything himself. Maurice left two days later, and we hardly found a common language. Robin and I interacted in a musical plan, but that was all ended. We were brothers, but were not real friends. There were too many bad moments and not good enough. A couple of good moments would be very helpful.

” Gibb cannot say exactly what he thinks about the afterlife. But it is possible if all this has at least a little truth, once again I will meet my brothers. And they will say: “Are you so long? These are mainly images of family members. Uplated friends are watching from others, for example, Michael Jackson, who was the godfather of one of the Sons of Gibb. He lived upstairs for some time, just before the proceedings in the case of molestation of young people.

We never discussed this topic, we just sat, wrote songs and got drunk. Michael loved wine - it was a couple of times that he simply fell asleep on the floor. " One summer day, GO Michael Jackson came to visit Barry Gibb with an almost ready song. It was called "all in your name". Jackson wrote it in protest against the US plans to capture Iraq that still happened in March, and persuaded his old friend to record her together.

The couple recorded the usual demo in the Middle Ear Studios Gibba studio, but the song did not come out then. Only many years later, a fragment of this legendary cooperation was published on the official YouTube channel, the video was shot on the 8-mm camera with the daughter of Barry Gibba.
