During a recent chat on CBS This Morning, Barry Gibb was asked if it was a difficult decision to carry on without his brothers and bandmates, the late-Robin and Maurice Gibb: “Yeah, it took me a decade to get there. I had to give up on issues in life that I’d had with my brothers. I’m leading a double life; I’m trying to be me — the individual, but I’m also. . . I also feel passionate that I have to be one of the Bee Gees no matter what happens.”
