Barry Gibb was a special guest on Australian Ch 9's breakfast program, "Today", during their 1988 Wimbledon coverage (live from England).
The presenter got the timing wrong when she mentioned Andy's death being "last year"; I remember watching this show and my heart sinking for Barry at the insensitive question, with the show being only a few months after (March to June).
Barry shares memories with co-host George Negus about days growing up on the Redcliffe Peninsula of Queensland. He was such a good sport, sitting on the sidelines as they held other interviews. I hope they rewarded him with extra large strawberries and cream!
Two small snippets of music clips played, so I'd better cover the copyright! I own nothing.

Andy's passing was all over the Aussie media at the time, and bearing in mind these interviewers were high profile Australian TV identities, I think it was pretty poor form to make such a glaring mistake. The Bee Gees, supposedly Australia's favourite sons, and the interviewer has to do all this reading "last night"? Hmm, mustn't have been a fan ;-) How embarrassing. Good thing Barry could handle these situations with class and dignity.

@hrsnrnd10 7 лет назад

No kidding. How rude of her to want to "talk about. It". Instead of offering her condolences and moving on about other things. Barry, being the gentleman that he is, politely asks if we could not talk about Andy as it is too painful and it had just happened. Reporters. I truly wonder if they are really human.

Not all reporters are rotten, tactless people. I was a reporter for almost 25 years. I refused to let it make me that sort of person. At one newspaper, I was told to go out and interview a grieving family and ask them "how they felt" about their child being tragically killed. I refused to do it, even though the boss threatened to fire me. He finally assigned it to someone else and stuck me writing "fluff" stories. I left there as soon as I found another job, but I never compromised .

They were still playing to large crowds whenever they wanted to perform and they were all healthy except for Barry’s arthritis issues. And that is not a life threatening condition.

No, it was 1988, just a few months after Andy passed. Firstly, it was on a video tape marked 1988, and second, Barry talks about Pat Cash in the Wimbledon finals. Cash played in 88, not 89.
