Barry Gibb sang to his late brother whilst he was in a coma.
The 69-year-old singer - who formed one third of the iconic band Bee Gee's - has revealed he dedicated the song 'End of the Rainbow' from his new solo album 'In The Now' to his younger brother Robin Gibb, and sang a verse from the track to his sibling two
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at the Nordoff Robbins O2 Silver Clef Awards in London on Friday (07.01.16), the 'Staying Alive' hitmaker said: "There's a song called 'End of the Rainbow' that I dedicate to Robin, but for all my brothers.

"It's not a disco album at all. It's an album of thoughts that range 60 years and different influences over the years. It's very autobiographical, not consciously, but sub consciously. There are a lot of lyrics that are quite abstract but if you think abo
Barry's upcoming release is set to be released in October this year.

I doubt Alan's drinking and drug problem had anything to do with it. And as Kitt indicates, Alan was quickly brought back with Dennis to work with R&M on "How Old Are You" and I would guess it was Mo's idea.
The Band was dismissed. Dennis' book confirmed that. But again, it must have been largely a Barry decision, prodded by Albhy.
The immediate impact to the band members in losing their jobs notwithstanding, the decision would have a profound impact on Maurice's role in the group. Although, his role as the omnipresent, versatile musician had changed going far back as 1973, the intr
I wonder if he ever thought at one point, especially during the Living Eyes sessions, to stop and say "F--- this" and walk away.
