The Bee Gees are one of the most famous music groups ever. They started in 1958 with three brothers—Barry, Maurice, and Robin Gibb. These guys were super popular in the 1960s and 1970s, making songs that everyone loved.
In the 1970s, they became huge stars during a time when disco music was the big thing. They made songs for a movie called Saturday Night Fever, and the album with those songs sold more copies than any other album ever for a while. That lasted until Michael Jackson’s album Thriller sold even more in 1982. In 1997, the Bee Gees got a big honor when they were added to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which is like a museum for the best musicians.
Sadly, the Bee Gees aren’t a group anymore. Maurice passed away in 2003, and Robin passed away in 2009. Now, Barry is the only brother left. But even though the Bee Gees stopped, Barry didn’t stop making music.
Barry Gibb has been busy since his brothers left. In the last nine years, he’s sung at the Grand Ole Opry with a country star named Ricky Skaggs two times. He’s also been on TV a bunch and even performed at a giant music festival called Glastonbury in a special “legend” spot. Plus, he went on a world tour called Mythology, singing songs from a Bee Gees album with the same name. Barry keeps the music going, showing he’s still a big star!
