A Family's Unbreakable Bond
Stephen, now 47, spoke candidly about growing up surrounded by musical genius and the unique dynamic of the Gibb family. "We weren't just relatives, we were a unit," he revealed. "The music was always there, but so was this incredible love between them all."
The Pain of Loss
The interview took an emotional turn as Stephen discussed watching his father Barry cope with losing both his brothers. "Dad was the eldest, he always looked after them," Stephen shared. "When we lost Uncle Maurice first, then Uncle Robin... it changed everything."
He described how Barry, now 77, continues to honour his brothers' legacy through music and family stories. "Their memory lives on in every note he plays," Stephen said proudly.
Keeping the Legacy Alive
When asked about the Bee Gees' enduring popularity, Stephen reflected on what made the group so special: "It was that blend - their voices, their songwriting, their ability to evolve. They weren't just singers, they were musical architects."
The interview concludes with Stephen sharing heartwarming anecdotes about family gatherings and the brothers' famous sense of humour, offering fans a rare glimpse into the private world of one of music's most celebrated families.
