Robin Gibb has said he and brother Barry may return to the stage as The Bee Gees, five years after their brother and bandmate Maurice died.
Robin Gibb told the BBC he is "very open" to a comeback if Barry "feels comfortable with it".
"When or where is to be decided at a time when he says yes," he said.
Robin Gibb is currently preparing to release a new solo album and is also campaigning to honour members of World War II's RAF Bomber Command.
When Maurice Gibb died in 2003, his brothers said they would no longer use the Bee Gees name.
"We decided that on an emotional level at that point," Robin Gibb said.
"Whether or not that will change, we don't know. It's a personal thing and we'll do it when the time is right."
He added: "So it's not a no, it's just emotionally when it's right."

I've come to realize that there is pretty much nothing, nothing, that the bee gees could do that would bum me out...esp if barry is involved. I mean, I am totally down with the babs streisand/barry stuff, if that's any indication of what i'm talking about

i heard 'tragedy' in a bagel shop today and it sounded pretty great

a couple of years ago i watched a concert dvd which probably came out three or four years ago before maurice passed away (sorry, am too lazy to do the research for id purposes), but anyhow, it made me laugh (with them) and maybe cry a bit, and definitely sit in awe of their vocal and songwriting prowess

i'm white, btw.

seems kinda pointless but I love them so they can do whatever they want as far as I'm concerned

I rate the BeeGees but a reformation would not be cool I mean first of all they'd have to 'update' their style so they could appeal to these young kids who think funk is the smell under their bed. Bee Gees belong in a long forgotten era of disco, high waisted, tight pants, afro's and falsetto's. I can only think of Mika who still does shit like that and uh...its not pleasant.

Bee Gees "updated" their style like at least four or five separate times in their career already, you know

― Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 25 June 2008 15:13 (seventeen years ago)

(not that I'm saying its a good idea - but yr conception of the Bee Gees as confined to the disco era is wrong)

― Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 25 June 2008 15:13 (seventeen years ago)

Woah, Mika! I'd completely forgotten...

He's nothing like the Bee Gees.

A few months before Mo died, the brothers were talking about playing Odessa in its entirety at the RAH. That's the kind of thing I'd support. Apart from something extraordinary like that, I'm not sure I like the idea of resuscitating the Bee Gees. While neither of them has come up with much of a solo career, I think it's best to just let it go. They had a 40 year career together, and by all accounts don't really like each other much these days.

Now get those Rhino expanded editions up & running again!!

odessa is supposed to be out pretty soon. at least, it was officially announced, finally. not sure for when though.

maurice was the mediator between the other two large egos, i do't think they could work together except for the occasional concert

I prefer to keep my memories confined to the disco era. Thank you very much.

― VeronaInTheClub, Thursday, 26 June 2008 02:24 (seventeen years ago)

long forgotten
