In 1997, something special happened when the Bee Gees, a famous group of brothers who wrote amazing songs, teamed up with Céline Dion, a singer with a powerful voice. Together, they made a beautiful song called “Immortality.” The Bee Gees—Barry, Maurice, and Robin Gibb—wrote the song in just four minutes because they knew Céline would sing it perfectly. And she did!
The Bee Gees and Céline didn’t just make music together—they became really good friends. Even though Maurice passed away in 2003 and Robin in 2012, their friendship stayed strong and meant a lot to Céline and Barry, the brother who is still here.
You can watch their amazing performance of “Immortality” in a video that over 1.2 million people have seen. It’s so good that lots of people say nice things about it!
Years later, in 2017, there was a big TV show called “Stayin’ Alive: A Grammy Salute to the Music of the Bee Gees” to celebrate the Bee Gees’ music. Famous singers like Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Ed Sheeran, and Demi Lovato sang their songs. But the best part was when Céline Dion came on stage.
Céline sang “Immortality” to honor her friends Maurice and Robin, who weren’t with us anymore. She sang with so much feeling that everyone watching could tell how much she cared. While she sang, you could hear the Bee Gees’ voices from old recordings, and there were videos of them performing in the past. It made the moment even more special.
At the end, Céline walked over to Barry Gibb, who was sitting in the audience. She sang right to him and gave him a big hug. It showed how much they still loved and respected each other. That night, “Immortality” wasn’t just a song—it was a way to remember their friendship and the incredible music they made together.
