The walk-off came after nine minutes of seemingly innocuous ribbing at the Gibb brothers’ expense.Įlvis Costello, also in the studio that night, tried to talk The Bee Gees round, while Clive Anderson was met with an immediate phone call from a tabloid journalist.

The last such occurrence took place May 26th, 2010, when they played the Saturday Night Fever classic “How Deep Is Your Love” on the season finale of American Idol alongside contestants Aaron Kelly and Siobhan Magnus.“You’re the tosser, pal.” Those four words – from the almighty Barry Gibb, no less – punctuated one of the Nineties’ most notorious TV events: The Bee Gees storming off Clive Anderson All Talk in October 1997. Barry and Robin never recorded as the Bee Gees again after that, but they did perform at a handful of charity gigs and TV specials under the name. The Bee Gees haven’t existed in their original form since Maurice Gibb died from complications stemming from a twisted intestine in January 2003. “After the Bee Gees no longer existed, I drifted into my own bliss, which is this kind of music.” “I’ve always been a real freak on old country music,” Gibb recently told Rolling Stone as part of his Musicians on Musicians discussion with Isbell.

He’s kept their music alive through solo tours, and his upcoming album, Greenfields, will reinterpret their songs with country acts like Keith Urban, Dolly Parton, Miranda Lambert, and Jason Isbell. Sadly, Barry Gibb is the only living member of the Bee Gees. Directed by Frank Marshall, it tells the story of the group via archival videos and new interviews with Barry Gibb, Eric Clapton, Noel Gallagher, Nick Jonas, Chris Martin, Justin Timberlake, Lulu, and others.

On Saturday night, the new Bee Gees documentary How Can You Mend a Broken Heart will debut on HBO.
