@@FactsVerse I don’t have a favorite. Too many to choose from, But, one that comes to mind is “I Started A Joke” And, I love Andy and Victoria’s song together, “All I Have To Do Is Dream”
My jaw dropped 😮I've found out my name is very common ! Just wanted to say hi from another Amy Hill .my RU-vid name is a combo of fathers name and his families last name .
I'm glad Andy daughter found happiness through marriage and motherhood in addition I'm glad she inherited the gibb musical legacy as wl as photography an exemplary young lady
Correction: Andy and Olivia never dated, Olivia was a close friend to all the Gibb brothers and she was like a big sister to Andy, not only singing with him but being a confidant to him.
Where you there? Olivia is not the angelic queen everyone assumes, she had many partners and was in the back pocket of government with her father being very high up in "special intelligence" Lots of people went missing or died who were involved with her. Don't be fooled... Do some research!!!
@@roseyk7677 Yes, I was there… and the research I’ve done is on your demented comments and pathological trolling patterns on various celebrity posts. Back under your bridge now, like a good little🧌
@@jennifergross5195 There’s nothing to read, this poster is trolling and posting false info. Her Father was part of the heroic teams at Bletchley in the UK during WW2, and a decorated Wing Commander who took part in translating Nazi war messages and helped bring in and arrest a highly dangerous Nazi commander with his linguistic and social skills. Done. There’s your info and reference for the previous comment’s twisting of facts. Be well.
The worst part which Barry has said, is that every time he lost a brother they were not speaking to each other! Which compounded the losses even more!!!
About same amount of time as my father , grandmother 😢.I had no idea he had a child .I remember he was with Victoria principal but she was awful to him .
If you are going to state that Peta made music with her cousins please get your facts straight. Spencer is the son of Robin. Samantha is the daughter of Maurice, and lastly Stephen is the son of Barry.
To correct some errors in this video, Robin's daughter, Snow was the result of an "affair" with the housemaid for Robin and Dwina. Apparently they had an "open marriage", but when the housemaid announced she was pregnant, Dwina went thru the ceiling and forced her to move out of their mansion. Robin financially set up the mother and daughter Snow for life.
Thank you for correcting that. But Nick’s story should also be corrected. His mother never told Maurice that she was pregnant and put him out for adoption. If he never knew he had a baby out there how could he have possibly known. Nick is talented and a wonderful singer. Look for his music with Leslie’s daughter, called Cousins Gibb. They redid Tragedy and did a good job of it.
I met them in Sydney Australia ,,when they were , only young kids. I used to give them,,$ 5.00. As a tip,,that was around, 1970 Today I still live in Australia,, I'm 81 years old, and their, songs Remains me, of such a beautiful,,and anforgetable times, It's my favourite MUSIC,,ANDY IF FOR ANY REAZON YOU READ THIS MESSAGE,, WE ALL. WISH YOU THE,,SUPER BEST,,GOD BLESS YOU,,
Fun stuff, thank you so much for sharing your life story and your beautiful message for Andy. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Hi here, I believe God has to do with the Gibb family music prominence. They are all beautiful individual. I truly thank God for their works and cares. JFK
La niña tenía 4 años cuando murió su padre, nació en el 2008!!! Y fue una "aventura" muy larga, con el ama de llaves, 8 años !!! Menos mal q Robin hizo muy bien en asegurar el porvenir de su hija, xq sabía q no estaría allí para protegerla!!! D. E. P 🙏❤
Well said, why does an inheritance imply money! I don't know what Peta's childhood was like but I'm sure she would rather a father then his memory and stuff! So glad she became a success in her own right! The Gibb family clearly has strong musical genes!
I heard the sad news off Andy's passing in 1988 early in the morning living in New Mexico. I don't think I had lived there a full month. I was deeply shocked and saddened to hear Andy Gibb passing so young 😢❤ 🌹
Yes I did know that Andy Gibb died young. I began listening to The Bee Gees music in my teens and soon after I was listening to Andy Gibbs music as well. I didn't realize back then that those wonderful carefree days were coming to a close. I was growing up and life is never as kind to older people as it is to the young. I miss Andy still even now. RIP Andy, Maurice and Robin. You're missed very much.
I remember reading about his daughter when I had posters of him plastered on my walls and was buying fan magazines with Andy highlighted. She was just a little girl then. Gosh, I feel old.
I didn't realize Andy Gibb had a daughter. God bless her. I'm glad she reconnected with her father's family to fit those pieces of her family puzzle. I loved his music as a young teenager. My friend and I even composed a song in high school and dedicated it to Andy. Clearly we were 80s teens. The line went Andy Gibb; he's a fox and that's no fib. 😂😅😂
Don"t you just love being an 80's teen? In art class I painted a picture of Richard Gere that was put in the High School showcase. Barry Gibb, LOL! I always thought my brother-in-law looked like him, lucky sister!! It is sad some of the Gibb family are gone. No doubt Heaven has an AWESOME concert waiting for the rest of us. Much Blessings.
@@FactsVerse I also didn’t know Andy had a daughter. It’s sad that she didn’t know him. It’s sad that his drug addiction took the inheritance she should have had….without it he may have lived…and improved his relationship with her in time. I loved his music. I Just Want To Be Your Everything was my favorite. I was a teen the first time I heard him. I remember it. That’s how impactful he was.
I loved the Bee Gees growing up in the 70s. I cannot but feel sorry for this tragedy ridden family, a little bit like the Kennedy curse...may they all rest in peace.
Yes I knew Andy died young, I have all his albums and I also know of Peta. After he died there was an article about Peta and her mother and the relationship with Andy. I wasn't surprised there wasn't a will because I don't feel that Andy believed he would pass so young. Unfortunately, many people don't have wills, you just don't think it's so important when life is going along normally. Andy was extremely talented and history shows that his brothers, especially Barry supported him as much as they could. A great deal of Andy's great music was written in collaboration with his brother/s or by them, so they certainly did as much as they could to support his career. At the end of the day, Andy was a grown man living his LA life and what happened was a part of that. It's sad he died so tragically young, but when you consider that Mo/Maurice was only 53 yo when he passed. He was young as well.
Andy went bankrupt in 1987, so he had to sell anything of value that he possessed, but Peta did receive royalties from the sale of her father's music. All of his records were out-of-print when he died, but they have been re-issued and there are three best of cds and the Mythology 4-record set which includes songs written by Andy.
I feel confidant that the Bee Gees would have provided and taken care of Andy's daughter in his absence. The brothers were all very close and that's what family does. Andy had a lot of insecurities. He would have been much better off if he had joined the Bee Gees.
That's what he always wanted. Barry steered him to go solo. I guess Barry though it was the right career move for all of them. It is something I'm sure the group has thought about the what ifs a lot. I think Andy really wanted to be included with his brothers. What they already had worked though. Andy on his own worked too, and Barry encouraged and helped him to a great start, but he was their brother and family feelings and family insecurities run deep. It's not always about fame, but it's easy to see that the BEE GEES entity itself was to come first at personal cost. I don't think they considered how personal the cost would be. Did they think that Andy was too high strung and too much of a chance to take? It wasn't because he wasn't wonderfully talented and beautiful. He WAS!
I haven’t seen evidence of the financial support for Andy’s daughter. But I do know that Mo and Robin’s children do get their respective father’s share of the royalties.
For those who were not yet born or had no experience of the 80s, I can fill in what it was like. I was in my late 20s. Through friends of my husband, yes, it was very common to marry young as I was only 23, I secured a job in the record business. The pace of that life was so very fast that it was almost necessary to have help in the form of drugs. Concert nights lasted well into the early morning hours having begun midday at load-in time. I was expected to be in the office at 8AM sharp each day. Show dates included. Cocaine was everywhere combined with downers to help us get at least a few hours sleep after a show. If you attended a party, instead of the normal hor'dourves there were plates of coke. It was plentiful and available. I can't imagine what Andy's real life was like. Being bipolar, depressed and in a business were money was king, no matter what the cost to the artist. We lost so many bright, talented musicians back then. I do feel sorry for his daughter growing up watching her dad on TV yet never feeling his presence.The kids of these mad times suffered the most.
@@FactsVerse To be honest, I liked most of his songs. They had good rhythm, that disco beat. He was up against artists such as meteoric Fleetwood Mac. Andy’s songs seemed uncool in comparison. They were rock musicians. He was a pretty faced pop singer. He had the popularity of his brothers behind him which, combined with his good looks, made him a star. If you liked the talented Bee Gees you like little bro. He just wasn’t cool enough to go up against the rock girls and boys. As an aside, I was at a wedding in upstate NY where I’d met a nice guy, a friend of the groom. He told me he was an actor and was so excited to be in a movie coming out. It was about disco which was the rage. The movie was Saturday Night Fever. His name was Joe Cali. Boom! No longer unknown. That disco beat also sent Andy into stardom mostly due to the quality of the music of his brothers. Sorry for the novella!!
@@brendataylor151 Artists are so much smarter now. In the “olden days” lol, you’d be so excited to get a contract you’d be willing to sign anything in blood. Super greats, such as Prince, discovered early-ish how labels control your career. So, he began his own label. Many a manager and accountant managed to deplete your earnings in fees or outright lies. It’s more difficult to do so many dishonest things now.
Thank you for your brutal honesty. I almost fell into that same trap. I will never forget 1987. I am glad I am a "small town girl" again. Prayers for the one's still stuck, may they know they are loved and get out anyway they can.
If you asked Andy he would say that his heartbreak over his relationship with Victoria Principal that started his downward spiral. He WAS using before her but that’s really what broke him. He was so beautiful. My favorite song was “don’t throw it all away our love” I don’t think that’s the title but I love that song. RIP ❤
I wish Andy Gibb had never met Victoria! She pursued him! She probably did coke with him! I heard she treated him terribly! He deserved the best not that washed up has been!
@@tsmith7119 Oh she was definitely an enabler and a participant. It’s all fun and games until the functional addict turns into a non functioning one and isn’t as famous as they used to be. Real love is being with someone not just in good times but in bad. And no they weren’t married but in sickness and in health comes to mind.
Andy elment, hogy a három Gibb lehessen Bee Gees!🙏😇Így írta meg leszületése elött magának!🙏😇Ezért engedte Isten is távozni!🙏😇 Csak annak segítenek maradni, akinek még dolga van! Andy engedte testvéreit karriert csinálni!🙏😇🌹Gyónyórü fiú! "Kicsi" Barry!❤🥰
I remember Andy's death, and why he passed so young. I hadn't realized he'd had a daughter & I didn't know a thing about the other Gibb children either. It's great to see the talent the Brother's Gibb possessed has been passed along to their children. Peta might not have been left tangible things by her Father, but she inherited what $$$ cannot buy!!! Great upload! I'm glad I caught it!❤
I had an Andy Gibb t shirt when I was a little girl. One of my older sisters gave it to me. I loved it and wore it all the time. Anyone else out there have one too?
I JUST LIKE TOO SAY THANKS I feel for Peta sh looks just like Andy Gibb and plays the Guitar and 🎹 and sings just like her father Andy Gibb would have been so proud of her
First of all I am very, very good friends with the Barry Gibb family & have been for years. Second of all Andy had an underlying heart problem from birth that no one knew about. Granted to say the cocaine you did not help out his health nor his heart problem. Third, Peta's uncle Barry who was Andy's oldest brother made sure that Peta didn't go without. Barry made sure that Peter and her mother received the royalties from the sales of any Andy's songs. Fourth, Andy was NEVER a "Bee Gee". He was one of The Brothers Gibb but never a Bee Gee. Anyone who is going to write something about or make a video having to do with anyone in the Gibb family they should do their research so that they get everything correct.
I noticed a number of errors in this little documentary, as well. Others have mentioned some of them, but two whoppers are that Peta was born in the US (she was born in Australia) and that she met him a number of times (met him once). One interesting tidbit was that Andy was bipolar. Never read or saw this observation made, but I've wondered about it myself. His mood swings seemed too extreme and inappropriate - he was depressed when there was nothing to be depressed about. Do you know? The possibility of a underlying heart problem was raised in the Reelz documentary about Andy's death. It was speculated that he had a twisted intestine. Both Maurice and Robin did. Maurice died of a heart attacked caused by it, but Robin's was surgically corrected in time.
Peta was born in the US but raised in Australia. As an American citizen, she would have been eligible for social security death benefits. What that monthly check amounted to is anyone's guess considering Andy made a lot of money from the first 5 years of his American recording career and was financially troubled for the last five years.
@@reneedinicola504 I think she was too...I saw this video about her a long while ago about her mother's struggles to get Gibb support after Andy died. Like she said, Andy was a voice on the phone line. Don't get me wrong, Andy was a fabulous kind great person from all I red about him and had no intention of neglect...just was living in a different part of the world and his addition did not help any either. In any case his daughter looks as if she's a great person herself...her Mother must be proud...
Andy Gibb was extremely handsome and the gals when bonkers over him, sad his life ended so young, he was coming back and had a solid fan base. Drugs and alcohol have killed a lot of talented people.
Andy Gibbs agent discouraged the news of him having a child or been married because it went against his ‘teen idol’ status..but he should have provided for her with the royalties of his songs-or at least his brothers should have
Victoria Principal said in an interview that she never got over the split with Andy, and was devastated when he died. She got her closure when she later had a dream where he came to her and they had a long talk, the talk they hadn't been able to have in real life.
I absolutely LOVED 🧡 Andy Gibb along with his famous older brothers & I was totally devastated when he died, but knew about his drug/drink addiction. And Hey, I’m Australian 🌞 so, of course, we claim ‘The Bee Gees’ as our own….P.S. I didn’t know Andy had a daughter
@@FactsVerse I love almost every single of their song but butterfly/love so right /1st of May / words/you win again/ night fever/grease/heartbreaker/I have gotta get a message to you /immortality etc it’s just too many to tell all the 4 brothers are good t my favorite is charming Barry just adore so much
I knew Andy very well in Miami, he dated my roommate in 86/87. He did cocaine with us on numerous occasion s, he was broke, driving around Miami in a borrowed car from a friend. It was so sad to see his life spiral out of control but he was past helping…. RIP Andy 🌹
Man, this facts verse has so many facts wrong. Thanks to the posters who have pointed out and corrected so many errors in this video. I was getting ready to do so. I have loved the Gibbs brothers since the 1960s. At least get the facts straight before posting videos, these men are world famous!!
I feel It’s such a shame that not only did Andy die young but also in a country he didn’t really like. He loved Miami and Malibu and Australia.. why he died in the UK I’ll never know..?
Yes, I new he passed , I wished he lived longer ,his music was beautiful, and I'm sure that he would have wrote ,more beautiful songs, I'm Abigail fan even though he's gone
I know you're deep feelings about your father Barry cibbs I wanna be like be powerful voice forever Barry 💜 my icon always missing heaps of love ❤ always missing your greatest memories of and and your greatest fan Kathryn rest in peace in heaven holy spirit ❤
He never dated Olivia, they were just very close friends. He did date Marie Osmond, Victoria , Susan George and the old blonde girl from Give me a break (his last gf) I cant think of her name right now.
Andy died in 1988, not 1998. I was at a national competition with a group from my high school and I clearly remember hearing the news. I didn’t know he dated ONJ. I just remember Victoria Principal. He is sorely missed!
Congratulations for reaching out. You deserve to know the rest of the family. It's a terrible shame that he had so many issues. I'm glad he broke up with Victoria, as she deserved a break from that mayhem.
welp, your father being a musician and having a certain cravings at times I can relate to him in a big way, looks fame all of it, wish he was still with us.. wish I got to know him better
I had posters and was a fan club member of both Andy and The Bee Gees back in the day. Love them still. Just a couple of corrections . First it was said Andy died in 1998 but actually was 1988. Second when saying she sang with Steven, Spencer and Samantha , they weren’t all Barry’s kids. Only Steven. Spencer via Robin and Samantha via Maurice. 2:41
Good Morning. I remember when Andy passed. I was in high school and many were shocked and sadden. I learned from an article that Andy was married but it was his management team and executives at his label who urged Andy to keep his marriage private due to him being a young hearthrob and sex symbol. He did visit his daughter only once a year or 2 after she was born.His ex-wife gave him an ultamatium as well. He did speak to his daughter on the phone and during the last years of his life, Barry who he was close with had him move into his Miami home, gave him a small weekly allowance and urged him to get his life together. After he cleaned up he did contact his ex-wife and wanted to spend time with his daughter during the Christmas holiday. She told him that she can spend the summer with him. Andy had returned to London to work on his comeback album but he relapsed and began to drink and Maurice had tried to tell their mom she needed to stop babying him, but she took the next flight to London the following day, told him to stop drinking and spent time with him on his birthday A day or so later he was having chest pains and was rushed to the hospital where he died due to the doctors in London being unaware of his history with drugs.
Andy's death at such a young age is a tragedy. I refuse to believe he left nothing behind for his daughter, but I do believe that someone or several someone's stole from him.
If Andy had bipolar disorder (which I’d never heard before) then we should all be entirely empathetic with his plight. My youngest son had that awful disease and the prescribed medications were never successful in stabilising him. He was a doctor and about to become a neurologist. He had a brilliant mind and a very sensitive heart. Unlike Andy, he did not self medicate, but stuck to the medication regimes prescribed for him. Right after his final medication adjustment, he walked out and stepped in front of a garbage truck. That only damaged his leg. He limped to a construction site nearby, walked up the internal staircase and jumped. He was 30. It is not uncommon for people with bipolar disorder to take their lives. Hopefully there’ll be more research into the disease and how to manage, if not cure, it. In addition, I find the manner and presentation of this video offensive.
