You only need to google Jacqui! She's alive and kicking at 91 years of age.

Grizabella, Barry Gibb was born in 1946 so I doubt very much that his Mother is still around.
There was a programme on T.V. about them recently, no mention of Mum.

My sister was born in 1947 and our mum is still very much alive and kicking (almost literally) at 88, so don't see any reason why the Gibb brothers mum shouldn't be the same.

I know you did Toky - I read the thread after I asked the question ;-)

For those who don't want to click the link:

'Gibb's mother Barbara, 91, is at her 62-year-old son's bedside as he fights for his life after deteriorating rapidly over the past 48 hours since developing pneumonia.'

Sorry, I did not read the earlier bits. Shame that she has lost two sons already and now the third is so desparately ill.

Very sad news.  Not just a great performing group, but one of the best song writing teams ever.  So many great songs written and performed over 40 years, and so many of them covered by other great artists that became hits.

What ever you may feel about disco, Saturday Night Fever is one of the greatest LPs ever.  Full of great songs which were all written by the Bee Gees, and performed by them and other talented artists, to create one of the biggest selling LPs ever, and not forgetting the singles from it.  If I was forced to choose my favourite from amongst the many I think it would probably be Massachusetts.. fantastic.

I think he lives in or near Thame in a very old house and and his wife is into laylines? and such, wish him a speedy recovery or no pain which ever result happens

I agree with all of the above comments from `used bus tickets` but to choose a favourite from sooooooo  many classic tracks is difficult ( I  have about 35 of their tracks and cover versions on my i pod )  but if forced to choose from tracks with Robin leading the vocals my favourite would have to be " now I`ve found that that the world is round "  mmmmmmmmmmmm   great track .
