Hes dead now because of victoria principal she destroyed him even after he said hes gotten better when in reality hes been broken hearted which is what killed him
KEENster D yes I agree ☝️ he would be 60 now an he’s daughter an him we’re going to get together I heard he wanted to meet with her before he died it’s to bad he didn’t get to see her sooner last time was at air port when he’s ex took him to court for support money he saw he’s daughter at air port I think in ny
But he blamed Victoria Principal for his drug problems. From what Barry and his other brothers said, he had the problem before her. But I suppose he was trying to rebuild his career and he could not admit his own addiction. A bad sign. And we now know he was still using even after this. His life style took its toll. So sad. He seemed like such a sweet and talented young man. I wish he had lived and found another woman to love, marry and have a family with. Life is good.
Such a huge loss. I admire his honesty, because many people don't like talking about pain and hurt. We have all been through pain after relationships and didn't feel like moving on, but if he had given it time, he would have bounced back stronger than ever! He had so much going for him! He should be here singing to the world~
I went to his gravesite at Forest Lawn Cemetery. Loved him as a young girl, and still cry when I hear his music or think of his death. He is still heartbroken in this interview. 💔 RIP, sweet Andy.
@@manoeladasilva6456 as far as I'm aware, methadone is not used to treat cocaine addiction. He had a heart condition, which is what he passed away from, regardless.
@@gailyhanna510 you know why if he hadn’t used drugs he wouldn’t have this heart problem. the first time he was hospitalized for drugs he could use his own drug against drugs.
@@manoeladasilva6456 I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. According to all accounts, he had a genetic heart condition. As far as I know, there is no drug to treat cocaine addiction. Replacing one drug for another one, isn't exactly treatment, anyway. Whatever the case, drug suck, but they did not directly take Andy Gibb's life.
He had the empath personality. A very intense person. When they fall in love they love deeper and when it’s over they suffer deeper. I believe he was far more into Victoria than she was into him. A fling for her, genuine love on his part. An empath will need a much longer period of time, years to get over someone they’ve loved and lost to a point where they can live more balanced. Relief for awhile here and there comes from drugs alcohol whatever will give you a break. Then you have another battle to fight. Your trying to survive and keep functioning in the world on a daily basis the best you can. It’s really a good idea to study the empath personality and get to know it. Helps with understanding. Andy is with Gentle Jesus now.
SO tired of everyone now being an "empath." Andy's brothers and parents have said that he struggled with not just low self-esteem but also with mental issues. I'll take THEIR word for it. Barry has said, on camera, that though he was a 30-year-old man, he acted as though he was age 16, and could not accept responsibility, manage people around him, or move past the bumps and bruises inherent in his industry.
This interview brakes my heart!! to see how painful it was for him to speak about what happened. He takes that deep breath and you can see pain with in him, as he looks around, I just want to hug him at that moment. I know he wanted to tell his story, but I think he should of remained silent. I cry every time I see this video. 😥
He was probably so great full that he hit help and a mentor and because so much was publicized that he wanted to tell his story as he said. The Gibb brothers were unique in this industry, a tight knit family and so loving.
Actually, remaining silent would have helped no one. I greatly admire his integrity in speaking openly about this. You know, his older brother Maurice ALSO chose to openly address his own alcohol addiction and how he beat it in an inspiring and honest tv program entitled, "Fighting Back." Here's a link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hbz-CzJBjXc.html
@@emmacassidy8482 You're right. Andy was indeed lying here. It's a sad and painful interview. Makes you wonder why he decided to do it? And I must say that Joan is just relentless here. Andy had a very sensitive nature and he truly wasn't able to absorb and recover from the tragic turns his life took. Drugs played a big part in destroying Andys future. #VerySAD
Drugs grab so many people by the throat and don't let go until the life is nearly choked out of them. I wish Andy had had a better and longer life and that he could have found true love. RIP, Andy.
As I write this, it is March 5th, Andy Gibb's birthday. Had he lived, he'd be turning 61 today! I wish he were still here with us making great songs like Shadow Dancing. Happy Birthday, Andy! You were terrific!!
Andy Gibb was heartbroken but he was very depressed spent many years on his own unfortunately he turned to drugs but he bounced back he died of a inflammatory virus in his heart bringing back his Histroy for cocaine which was many years before his dead is do sad. He was a good soul and he is a angel and I miss him so much ....🙏🙏🙏
It was obvious in this interview that Andy was still hurting emotionally from everything he'd been through--his drug addiction, his break-up, his no-shows, etc. I'd heard that his relationship with Victoria was somewhat of an eyebrow-raiser, possibly because of the age difference and that he was considerably younger than her(consider this was the 1980s). In his "Behind the Music" documentary, Victoria had said something to the effect how when she'd seen this interview--particularly when Andy said, "I'd thought about the girl"--she'd felt put in an uncomfortable situation, not knowing what to do nor how to respond but finally decided to remain silent. Additionally, Victoria mentioned about giving Andy an ultimatum about "to choose me or to choose drugs...and he chose drugs." Although I can understand about people needing their personal space and their well-being, many don't realize that addiction is an illnesss, not a concious choice. I still remember where I was when I learned about Andy's death: I was spending my last year of high school in a dormitory. I'd received a phone call from my mother and at one point during our conversation, she said, "You know Andy Gibb died." I was stunned. I couldn't fathom that someone so talented and seemingly with a sweet personality would die so young...rest in peace Andy.
GlamGal 710 you couldn’t fathom. Yeah. He like getting high and hanging with his drug pals. It’s a scene, a subculture. I don’t buy the idea that it’s an illness. He chose the drugs over her and e everything else. The cocaine made him lose his voice, that’s typical! His losing his girlfriend and true friends etc. that’s typical. His not showing up for work, that’s all typical of what drug addicts do. They like getting high. It’s funny to them. Those who tell them not to; they I don’t wanna hear it, they avoid those. When people show up and point out that the drug addict is losing everything in their lives, their marriage, their business, the children have been taken away, they just lost their house in their car and they’re scrambling to continue to exist somehow, they don’t want to hear it. They just want to know when they’re going to get their next drug so they can get high. You can think this is an illness that they’re sick well they are physically sick and they are addicted but they want to be. They want to keep this going and they won’t listen to anybody very few do. Basically, they’re just really self-centered selfish people who want to get high like it and don’t want to pay attention to any one or anything else. So people like you look at them and say well they must have an illness they must be sick poor person but look at all those people that are living in the street in Los Angeles those people that live at skid Row. Do you ever talk to any of them? Do you ever seen him interviewed on RU-vid? They leave and laugh. Yeah they lost her home still living in the street I have to steal for a living and defecating and urinating right near where they’re laying on cardboard in the street, but when they asked about giving up the drugs that either get mad and walk away they’ll tell you But you can talk to them but don’t mention giving up the drugs, or they’ll tell you honestly that they like taking the drugs and sometimes a smile and a laugh not tired but it’s the greatest feeling ever had they really enjoying it. They would like you to get a place to stay they would like you to pay for food for them sure they would like you to buy them new needles they would like you to buy the condoms yeah, they would like you to subsidize their lives, to give the money. Their relatives did all of that got sick of it or they want Brooke doing it. You got to understand there are people who like doing this. They just want to do it and they don’t care. Those people should come crashing down at some point maybe early on without Everybody babying them and helping them. Maybe they should lose everything quickly so that people could confront them about it. But again you know if there are just some people who like the fact that it makes him feel good. It’s the same thing with alcohol I’ve done so many alcoholics. I’m not so many people they just like drinking and they’re gonna drink and they’re going to hang out with other people who are drinking and they got a laugh and they’re not gonna be responsible and they end up alcoholics. And that’s the way they want it you can’t change them. It’s disgusting but be glad that you’re not like that. The way not to end up a drug addict or an alcoholic is never to start it to begin with! If you don’t start it then you’re not part of the group.
My thoughts are the same. It has to be hard living your life wide open for the whole public to see and hear. He might've had no choice and his publicist and team and he agreed that if he didn't tell is story others would do it for him - the tabloids - and they already were and had. So who knows. But it's all still such a bummer everything he went through and then having to address it publicly. And then of course his leaving this world too soon and the way he did. I think all his fans see these interviews and old videos and wish they could go back in time and get him the help and support system and information he needed to prevent what was coming. Just wish his fate could've been avoided somehow.
Truly sad. What a sweet young man. So either 7-10 days after meeting Victoria Principal and being with her for 13/18 months? You can see such a difference between the happy blushing boy he was on the John Davidson Show to this interview. It's heart breaking.
"Happy blushing boy?" Good grief. He was a divorced father of a year-old child, whom he'd abandoned, when he met Victoria. His own mother has said about him that "He never grew up. He was sort of a Peter Pan who was still a baby." People believe what they wish to believe.
@@Pamsmith59 and he probably wouldn't have reached for the cocaine if it wasn't for Victoria Principal she was way older than him all she had was a crush on him and infatuation that was it she was not in love with him I can look at her eyes and body language and tell and I've been here six decades and I can tell you with experience that woman was not in love with him but he was head over heels in love with her probably puppy love but in his heart he was smitten and it was real all she did was trample on his heart the only thing he could do at that point in his mind was turn to the drugs he didn't know how to handle those emotions he's a Pisces and Pisces are known to be extremely emotional that's in his Stars she was 8 years older than him and a female Capricorn she is a hard worker under her stars and also emotionally detached which means she wasn't going to give him that type of emotional support that he needed to feel whole and comfortable she was a woman with more experience she was out there with other boyfriends more than likely she had 8 years to have been with other people if she really loved him she would have been more supportive she would have been more understanding she would have been more tolerant she would have tried to get him help and should have kept on trying but instead she wanted to give him opposition conditions and coldness which he couldn't handle I hope she's living with this for the rest of her life and may it eat her up to the Grave that's just why Barry didn't allow her to come to the funeral
@@dhurley8522 getting babied doesn't mean that everybody that ever got babied they are going to do drugs or have mental issues or commit suicide or any of that stuff so that doesn't make sense but what makes sense is he was with an older woman that had more experience than him 8 years his senior and she was more than likely not in love with him just infatuated and had a crush on him for the moment where he was totally head over heels and smitten to the point of no return even if it was puppy love in his mind he was extremely in love with this woman whom did not give him any support in helping him get himself together if she really loved and cared for him she would have gone the nine yards and she didn't even try he was an emotional Pisces and she was a female Capricorn which is not going to always show emotion their emotions are usually detached and they work extremely hard their mind is basically focusing on work and accomplishments and when it comes to love not the easiest combination in terms of Pisces and Capricorn Pisces are extremely emotional dreamy and sensitive They had wonderful parents and he was the youngest too so go figure Barry said the Andy's death took his father out of here a few years later The Grieving that he did over his youngest son and youngest child was just too much Barry didn't even allow Victoria to be at the funeral or even to interact with them in reference to his death so go figure
@@gypsylotusblossom777 Andy's wife divorced him due to his drug addiction and partying. Victoria also gave him the same ultimatum and he chose drugs. That simple. It has zero to do with Pisces and Capricorn.
How so sad for what happened to him.I grew up listening to him and his brothers back during my formative years during the late 60s and throughout the 70s.I still enjoy listening to their Classic Recordings from that Era.
I love how honest he was in this interview. I'm sure I watched it live, because we never missed Good Morning America in our house and I tried to never miss an Andy interview. He is missed!
He was still not over yet Victoria...for how many times he mentioned her name...😭 Still watching 2019! Victoria was his real heartbreak, his first real love…❤️. RIP 🙏🙏🙏 Andy…
This was great Thank You... If you see the Interview with Maurice about Andy he speaks about Andy's Drug problem and how they all tried to help him.. Unfortunately sometimes you have to let them reach bottom before they realize they need help.. It took Victoria walking away, for him to get the help he needed.. I wish he would have been with us longer so that he was able to sing with Barry, Robin and Maurice the way it should have been... But God needed his beautiful voice in Heaven ..
Rest in peace beautiful man. Help for drug addiction and all the knowledge we have today was not available then. Yes she could have helped him through rehab but did she even know about what types of treatment that were available? She could have found out. I hurt for him that she gave him an ultimatum but did not assist in any way to stand by his side and offer help and then give the ultimatum if he resisted or failed. He was so tender hearted and sweet. What a waste! Been there and done that. She pulled the trigger on him way too soon and he died of a broken heart in the end so to speak.
Andy Gibb I can so relate to the pain you went through .I too was in a very deep relationship with a girl I fell head over heels in love with .It happened so quick and doesn't it always come out of nowhere and knock your socks off. It ended so fast it made I head spin .I was devastated ! I turned to booze for 3 months straight vodka was my best friend .Donna if your put there I still love you !
This interview would have been extremely hard for Andy. To think this would only have been a short time after his breakup with Victoria, yet, you can see how fragile he still is. One can only wonder how Andy would have felt when he found out not only how quickly Victoria had moved on, but ended up marrying that same man. Someone made a comment on another clip about Andy wanting a similar life to Barry, and I believe that is a true assessment of how Andy would have felt. According to his Personal Assistant, Scott Sands, Andy seemed to want to settle down, and seeing his feelings for Victoria and the way he spoke of her, you get the impression he fell so deeply in love with her, that when she left, he thought his life wasn't worth living. Of all the relationships he had after Victoria, those women who gave interviews about their relationship all said similar things - when Andy spoke of Victoria and how she treated him, their views were not complimentary. If those views are accurate, it is sad to see how badly their relationship went South. On the other hand, I have seen interviews and articles about Victoria since she left Andy, and amazingly, her marriage to Harry Glassman wasn't as happy as made to look to the public, if what I read is true....Harry and Victoria had many rows towards the end of their marriage, where it was noted Victoria was hospitalized after a supposed assault, to Harry claiming Victoria had an alcohol problem. One has to wonder what Victoria was thinking - Andy adored her, and it appears that wasn't enough. Most women would have loved having Andy in their life.... I have respect for Barry and the Gibb Family, they went through so much with losing Andy, and to even resort to barring Victoria from his funeral shows we will never truly know just how badly Andy was hurt. To hurt someone that much, yet turn up at their funeral, is not wise, unless you have a guilty conscience? To look at Victoria today, one would have to ask if she looks happy - she seems to be doing a lot of things Andy did, like philanthropy and getting a pilots licence. Victoria may be worth $300 million, but one would have to ask if she had chosen a different path, would leaving Andy be on that path....
Victoria Principal must have received a large settlement from her ex, Dr Harry Glassman. I have heard that he was to write a book about his relationship with VP.
@@tsmith7119 Actually T, I also read about Harry planning to write a book and wanting to give interviews about their marriage, and as such, Victoria had to pay Harry $10 million as part of their divorce. Victoria was worth more than Harry, and it is documented online that she paid him the money to keep his silence about their Marriage. This shows maybe her relationship with Harry wasn't as portrayed to the media - although today, Victoria is very tight lipped about her private life. I am guessing she learnt having your life in the public eye is not what it is cracked up to be. Andy Gibb certainly found that out when he and Victoria broke up.......
@Alana Lightfoot I read that, too. She had to pay for his silence. I heard that she strikes a man she is with. I wouldn't doubt it! I hope not Andy! Thank you for your comment!
Good grief. Victoria may have not gone to the funeral out of respect for his family, and mourned him privately. Just as she chose to never take public issue with his Good Morning America interview, following his mental break-down, and his blaming his cocaine habit on their break-up! (She has explained that his drug addiction IS what broke them up!) Even Andy's own brothers and parents have stated that he not only had self-esteem issues, but that he had mental health issues. It is truly nauseating reading people judging things they have no idea about.
@@Pamsmith59 Pam Victoria did attempt to attend Andy's funeral, but was turned away by the family, which was documented by the media at the time. As for grieving in private, well, what was she grieving about? Victoria herself had said in interviews after they broke up she needed to and did move on, and marrying Harry Glassman to me proved that. Her life no longer included Andy, and she was married for over 20 years. Sadly though, Victoria seems to show more emotion for Andy now what is it - over 30 years later. Victoria didn't show much emotion towards Andy when they broke up, and for me, that speaks volumes. She chose to walk away, and knowing the turmoil Andy was in what did she think was going to happen? As for passing judgement, you are doing to exactly the same - presuming we have no idea about anything. Actions speak louder than words, and if the Gibb Family turned her away from Andy's funeral that gives me an idea of the situation back then. His family had to deal with not only losing Andy, but also having Victoria sue Barry for rights to the songs they sang together after he died. That is pretty cold to me, then again, as you put it, this was her way of dealing with her grief. I don't believe Victoria cared enough, until the last few years or so where she may have reassessed her life. Too little too late I would say.
@@lisavaden9903 - When Kim left him in fear of her life and that of their unborn daughter he claimed she was not even pregnant. His daughter looks just like him. During the divorce he finally just asked "How much do you want?" Such compassion.😠. Kim's parents had to mortgage their home to pay her bills. When Andy died his brothers stepped up to care for Peta. He said he was "alone" after Victoria left. He had 3 brothers, a sister and parents who cared about him. The family said he was a Peter Pan who never grew up. Sad but he was the master of his fate.
Ilove Andy so much. I am from the Philippine.. i admire Andy since when i was a teen ager back in 79 to 80. i am already 66 yrs old now. i still admire a Andy
Andy grew up in Australia. The Gibb family arrived to OZ when Andy was a 6 month old baby. They lived in a house just around the corner from where my parents have a beach house in Scarborough, Brisbane.
I feel almost I have the same personality as him, I am the younger sister, I feel like anybody care about me, I feel depressed sometimes and I am very sensitive, as he was. Sensitive persons usually choose narcisistic ones for relationships, I´ve been hurt in love also, he is a romantic person and very sensitive, I can feel that. I felt identified with his pain, I felt it. I don´t do drugs but I find refugee in food, that is bad, but it´s not easy to leave it. He said he felt suicidal, he wanted to die, so, in some way, his body found that way, I wish he is in peace now, no more pain. It is hard to live in this world for sensitive people.
Men are capable of loving very deeply too, sometimes more deeply than women. I feel bad for him 30 years later. Victoria was a hardened woman when I say that the majority of celebrities in Hollywood have to be that way to survive the onslaught of all the people who try to suck your soul right out of your body, that's what happened to Andy, it was something he couldn't deal with, people from all directions tugging at him. It can take a lot out of a person.
anyone who can't understand someone falling apart from a breakup and has never had real love and you are shallow, aside from the fact he was young and she was older and could have handled things better by not ever getting involved with him.
I went thru the same at age 18. The guy I loved left & I was devastated. Long story & much pain, but I got over it & learned to enjoy life..wish Andy had found happiness.
@@desertrose1226 is that he was hypersensitive and probably suffered triple. he has always been depressed and insecure.depressed people tend to multiply suffering.
Que pena perder a esta estrella tan joven con lo poco que vivió marco muchas generaciones y vidas la mia incluida me emocionó aún cuando escucho su música
Indira Rivera yo estaba muy pequeño cuando Andy murió, pero si lo recuerdo de Punky Brewster. Cuando el murió yo ya sabía quien era. Pensaba que se había muerto de una sobredosis de droga, eso era lo que se escuchaba.
Anyone getting Steve Irwin vibes? Just that kindness they both seemed to have. God he seemed so sweet. I wish the interviewer was a bit kinder and uplifting to him. She came off a bit cold and indifferent. He comes across so sincere and genuine, a true sweet hearted young man. Absolutely heartbreaking when he said he couldn't talk for a month and was hoarse even that morning.
@@johnthwaites5976 - Born in Manchester in April. Moved to Australia that same year. English regardless. His brothers were born on the Isle of Man, Manx but a British protectorate.
He was my teenage idol and such a talented singer. Too tragic he got himself into drugs and how that affected his health. He lost his life way too soon.
We've learned so much about relationships since then..including emotional abuse, addictions and the like. Relationships affect the same area of the brain that addictions do...often when people are wounded by their relationships they will turn to self medication thru drugs or alcohol or start smoking again...or numerous other addicting behaviors. You can get free, stay free and heal.
This is amazing interview for Andy Gibb in 1st Appear in Good morning America is very amazing talk about his Relationship with Victoria Principal and Bob hope show and pirates of Pendants and stuff like that is very awesome interview Cool 👌 is very wonderful
I am so 😃 that Andy Gibb was talking about this complicated of Getting a Treatment and of course is miracle definitely fantastic though and his play and I can wait for he will talk Any kind of dream coat is going to be interesting 😉 really incredible 😍 also Enjoy
Definitely I really enjoyed Andy Gibb Appears in Donny and Marie show skit is The boy Scouts and is very amazing definitely incredible this funny and cute
I am not so quick to let Andy off as the victim as other commenters here. Principal has said she ended the relationship because he wouldn’t stop using hard drugs after repeated pleas to do so, so that seems a very legit reason to end it.
I feel as though Victoria Principal was his downfall in terms of her being older than him and knowing he was younger and an emotional type of fellow very tender very warm very impressionable very caring type of fella and her pressuring him and not trying to come to some common ground where they both could let each other breathe and appreciate each other more but on her part especially when she's the older party much more experienced when she knew he was spiraling out of control and he needed somebody to really give him that extra love that extra patience to be caring and warm with that extra push and to be supportive understanding firm and not selfish I really don't respect or care for Victoria Principal at all because in my opinion she was part of him not being here today a big part I don't think she was in love with him as much as he was in love with her and I don't think she was demonstrating genuine affection for him I think it was more like a crush and infatuation on her part and him puppy love which she knew thats where he was in terms of her she played with his emotions I hope she's living with that for the rest of her life and it eats her up
@desertrose she was step mum for 22 years, she has grandchildren, nephews and nieces, their pics on her Facebook ... She has a ranch with animals to save.... She's fabulously rich.... And she doesn't think at you at all....
I think she was an 'Ambitious Cougar " who used him cause her acting career was coming to an end and she wanted to "sing"....but she couldn't sing!!! I mean give me a major freaking break!! She was 31 and he was 22 when they met!! There was NOTHING IN COMMON. Even Phil Donohue said so in the interview they gave on his show....She crushed a sweet soul...😇😰😪
@@tsmith7119 Thanks!! She was a textbook narcissist who didnt tell the world how SHE treated HIM! But brought up the drugs as an excuse to USE HIM, THEN LOSE HIM! PIG THAT SHE WAS AND IS! NO WONDER HIS BROTHERS BANNED HER FROM HIS FUNERAL! LOOKS LIKE KARMA CAME AFTER HER AND LANDED ON HER FACE!😳😄😅🤣🤣🤣🤣
@D Hi Ho Silver I agree with you a 31 Cougar with a 22-year-old boy. Poor Andy. I saw her on a Lifetime movie. She played a high paid fading call girl. Talk about a fall from Dallas! She's getting her KARMA! Thank you for your comment!💯
