Last Bee Gee to pass on new doc

The last surviving member of the Bee Gees isn’t anxious to view a new documentary on the group.

“The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” documentary premiered Dec. 12 on HBO Max, but Barry Gibb, 74, who formed the group with younger twin brothers Robin and Maurice, says it would be too painful to watch.

“I just can’t handle it. It’s not, who would, you know?” he said in an interview that will air on “CBS Sunday Morning” this weekend. “I think it’s perfectly normal to not want to see how each brother was lost, you know? And I don’t want to address it. I’m past it.”

The Bee Gees were a hitmaking force in the 1960’s and had a stunning second act as a disco group in the 1970’s, with smashes such as “Stayin’ Alive” and “Night Fever.”

Though the Bee Gees endured a fierce disco backlash in the early 1980s, the group remained relevant in the business until the death of Maurice, in January 2003 at 53, and Robin who died in May 2012, at 62.

The oldest Bee Gee added that it’s “incredibly hard” to let go of his younger brothers — including youngest sibling Andy, who was a hot solo act in the late ‘70s and died at 30 in 1988.

“Because we’d never not been together, you know? ... It was really tough. The first year after the last brother passed, Robin. That was the most difficult period for me,” he said.

“I just didn’t know where to go. I didn’t know what to do … and, I didn’t know how to be perceived,” he told CBS. “I didn’t know how to perceive other people’s opinions. So, basically, I’ve been in lockdown for years now.”

Gibb, whose new album “Greenfields” features versions of The Bee Gees hits performed with some of country music’s top stars, added that he plans to tour again, in the postpandemic world.

“It’s lonely up there when you haven’t got your brothers,” he said “But you still make it — you still make it fun. That’s what counts.”
