Robin talks about being separated from his kids

Robin speaks of having been "very, very nervous" and "horrified" at the prospect of seeing his children, Spencer and Melissa, for the first time after he divorced his first wife, Molly Hullis, in 1980. "'Out of control' is the first emotion alienated parents feel when they're separated from their kids," says Gibb. "They feel threatened. They feel as if they are not dictating events."

Robin worried about his son
Robin was due to attend a London charity lunch on Sunday but pulled out after staying up all night by his son's bed. Robin was desperately worried for his son Robin-John, 25, after his pancreas flared up and he was rushed for treatment.

A source said: "RJ was poorly before with pancreas trouble. Last time he was in intensive care so the family took no chances."
"Robin never lets anyone down so everyone knew it was serious."

RJ - who composes film music and was treated near Oxford - went home on Sunday.

Maurice Gibb art work for Yvonne
William Hunt a local artist from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida got in touch with GSI earlier this year. He created a Maurice art work which he wanted to offer to one of the Gibbs. He asked me and wanted me to decide to whom of the Gibb family the art work had to be send. It would have been great for Barry, for Robin and for Barbara Gibb but I decided to offer it to Yvonne. Yvonne received it late last month.

Message from Robin and Dwina
Dear friends, family and fans,
My family and I wish to thank all of you for your kindness and generosity, and most of all, for your love and support in coming to Miami Beach to attend the inauguration of Maurice's special park. We thank the Mayor, officials and the residents of Miami Beach who helped make this happen, and for the speeches and remembrances of those close to Maurice. Our appreciation is heartfelt for those who travelled from so far to attend this ceremony and for the friends, neighbours and locals who turned out for the occasion. For those who could not come, thank you for your donations, letters, cards, phone-calls and your kind words and blessings. Mo is in our hearts and minds and lives on in the great legacy of his music, which crosses all barriers.
Our love to all of you

Maurice Gibb memorial unveiling

Adam and Yvonne Gibb
The dedication of Maurice Gibb Memorial Park took place yesterday in Miami Beach. Maurice's family, including mother Barbara and brothers Barry and Robin attended the ceremony.

"Live: With Full Force"
Steve Gibb and his band Crowbar have a DVD out which is now available from different American websites and will be available in Europe around February 26th. www.plastichead.com

FANTASTIC LIVE DVD FROM THE HEAVIEST BAND ON EARTH.
Filmed at the popular German open-air festival of the same name, live: With Full Force was captured on Crowbar's world tour supporting their 2005 release, Lifesblood for the Downtrodden. The live performance DVD further includes candid backstage footage plus the band's second (and previously unavailable) promotional video for the album track "Slave No More." It goes without saying the scope of contributions and merits Crowbar have had on the heavy music scene since their formation over a decade ago. Originally noted as a cross-mix of Pantera and The Melvins, later dubbed sludge metal/core, Crowbar pioneered the genre's early sound and today continue to push its boundaries with experimentation and endless determination. To date their US soundscan history approaching a quarter of a million units. Crowbar are planning a series of dates in 2007 while continuing work on new material for their next album expected early 2008.

Marion (February 16th. - 2007)

The gifted children of the artists pay emotional tribute to their fathers on this unique compilation created especially for Target: "A Song For My Father". Spencer Gibb is singing "Run To Me". www.180music.com

The past few months it hasn't been possible yet for Barry and his family to move in to their new house in Hendersonville. Others took over the property for a while. Lots of trucks and cars were parked in both drive ways and recently quite a number of carpenters and electricians have been busy remodelling the place. Also the person who once built the house for the Cash family is involved again. He builds and restores log homes etc. Hopefully Barry and Linda will be able to start using their new place soon and enjoy overlooking the water from the amazing round room at the lake side.

Barry's 60th. Birthday Fan Gathering Miami Beach.
Like mentioned before Bee Gees fan Heidi Bookout is busy organizing a fan gathering in Miami Beach. We have some updates on these plans right now. Many have contacted Heidi yet telling they are interested and probably are coming. However at this point it hasn't been possible for Heidi to get back to all these fans yet, writing a note. Please all interested fans: keep an eye on the GSI website for details and updates at this point and sooner or later Heidi or GSI will mail you with necessary information. Any more fans who read this and are interested to come: mail Heidi at: mistymae02@juno.com

The tentative date for the gathering is from 7 until 10 September 2006 On the agenda probably will be amongst others a visit to the Maurice Gibb Memorial Park and at the moment it's looking like the main party will be a costume party. Everyone knows how much Barry likes to play dress up (often with good friend David English!) so what better type of party to have?! Heidi however is still looking for more suggestions from you for the main party, so try and mail her with ideas! A suggestion Heidi received to use as a theme for the party: 'Song Titles'. Any song titles that has to do with The Bee Gees and / or Barry; a song title or something which has any connection with a song of The Brothers. Heidi also received requests from fans for combining the Birthday party with a fund raiser for the Love and Hope foundation. When things get definite and all details are known we'll let all interested fans know. We hope to have all the information for hotel and other expenses by the end of March.

Thanks Heidi

Memorial Tree for Maurice

The red blooming version of the tree which was planted . Maurice's will be yellow
Thanks to the efforts of fan Jeannie Rush and a group of other fans this plan of planting a memorial tree for Maurice became reality. They have worked for 9 months to have a tree planted in Maurice's park in Miami Beach, Florida. The tree was planted February 15th. Below is a copy of the email that was sent also to GSI as well as to Barry, Robin and Dwina's website.

Please forward this information on to Robin and family as the fans at the previously operating Robin Gibb site have been working since May of last year to get a tree planted in Maurice's park in Florida. I agreed to pursue this "living" memorial for the fans. I am so pleased to inform Robin and his family that the tree has been planted this week in Maurice's park. Through the effort of the following fans and their generous donations our dream has become a reality:

The original tree planted for Mo in the Maurice Gibb Memorial Park. Credits and thanks to: Ana of the Ellan Vannin website.

I think Robin would like to know how much we loved and appreciated Maurice. We hope that this "living" memorial will become a beautiful blooming shelter for all the fans who visit the park.

When the fans came together on Robin's site little did we know that we would find such wonderful people with the music of the Bee Gees and Robin as our common bond. Over the years we became friends. Please know that we miss being able to go to Robin's site and leave messages. Our hope now is that the site will begin again very soon so we can continue to work toward new friendships and catch up with the old friends.

Thank you, Jeannie Rush

Graduation Adam Gibb

Adam "Bachelor Of Science In Communication"
On December 15th 2005 at the University of Miami Adam Graduated. His honor was for Bachelor Of Science In Communication. Yvonne was so proud of him and many tears of joy and sadness filled the air. I have been told that everyone felt the presence of Maurice very much too. It would have been great to have seen Mo's big smile on his face as Adam received his award. Adam was just so calm and happy, because he told that his dad was there. His sister Samantha was also so happy for her brother because she knew how hard he worked for this and that he also graduated as one of the top students in his class. Also attending was Adam's Uncle Herby and his son Graham and girlfriend Laura. Friends who watched Adam grow up, came from out of state and many friends attended in his honor. His uncles Robin and Barry and their families were not present for different reasons. Here are some photos taken during the day of the Graduation.

Maurice Gibb Tribute Plans
There seems to be some confusing about the several plans. We reported before about the tribute plans for Maurice according to a publication of Clear Channel (see GSI News of October 22nd). This is a project where several famous artists will sing tribute songs on an album as well as a show however this is not a Bee Gees project. About two years ago some first plans were made by Barry and Robin concerning a Bee Gees tribute to Maurice however things went differently which Barry explains on his website:
"Two years ago at Buckingham Palace Robin and I discussed with great enthusiasm a tribute to Maurice. We both agreed on what was to happen and it sounded great..."
Read more at: www.barrygibb.com/ News/off the record. Next to that Barry recently announced he would like and is planning to release an album next year with only Maurice Gibb songs.

Dwina's Film
It looks like one of her Irish plays may be made into a film. Dwina now has to start changing the play-script to a screen-script which is quite a lot of work, but she told GSI: - it will be fun to do -. The film will be an Irish comedy. More to come about that, later.

Marion (September 10th - 2005)  


Maurice Memorial Park
Due to the fact that one is behind with the actual construction of the memorial in the park it probably won't be ready before October or November.
We'll keep you posted.

'Barry and Linda's house for sale in Miami Beach'
This seems to be a rumour going on for some days already. Fans asked if Barry is going to move to Australia This is not true!
At the end of the year all the contents of Middle Ear Studio will go into storage and will be sorted out later on. Barry will use a demo studio at his Miami Beach home and when necessary will use or rent other studios such as Criteria / Hit Factory when ever he needs.

Marion (September 8th - 2005)  


Mo's Paint ball Shop
The Gibbs do not own the Paintball Shop anymore at 337 NE 167 Street in Miami Beach According to the family it was bought and taken over by one of Mo's friends who has moved it to his paintball field in North Miami where Maurice also used to play. Probably Peter Bofill, President of Ruff N Tuff Paintball in North Miami, will start Mo's Paintball Shop at his paintball field.

Travels With Loreena McKennitt

My name is Niema and I'm a friend of Dwina Gibb. Recently I wrote a book called "Travels With Loreena McKennitt", which has a lot in it involving Robin and Dwina Gibb. It relates the amusing circumstances of how I met Dwina and of our mutual connection with the Irish poet, W.B. Yeats.

It tells about the times I visited their wonderful home in England, and also in Miami; of the great New Year parties Robin and Dwina gave, and of the lovely times we shared. It also tells about the time Dwina so generously let us use her home to do a short film on Loreena McKennitt.

Some lines from my book:
"From our first meeting in the Prebendal, Robin and Dwina's magnificent 12th century home, there was an immediate connection between Dwina and me. It was as though we had always been friends and had just met after a long absence.......After dinner, Rosy entertained Robin-John, Robin retired to his study to work and Dwina and I talked. We sat by the fire long into the night, talking about ideas, experiences, dreams, inspired by the firelight, candlelight and each other."

Thanks, Niema

Next Saturday, July 16th. Barry is chatting again with his fans. He does this from various locations together with his son Ashley and also assisted by Darin Butler.

Together with Dick Ashby, John Merchant, his wife Linda (of course) and some other relatives Barry recently has been to California for three weeks to record the Streisand album as we mentioned before. According to management daughter Ali and her friend loved the trip especially because their goal was to meet with their idol Johnny Depp in California. However: Ali and her friend didn't succeed in this plan they did have a great time in L.A. after all.

First album MEG with Maurice

MEG
Sam's band MEG is getting ready to release their first CD. As you know GSI is in contact with the group and this week Laz enthusiastic mailed me with the latest details. Sam, Nick and Laz are very busy right now he wrote as they almost are reaching the deadline which is at the end of the month for the release of the CD. There will be 12 songs on the album according to Laz and most of the record is produced by Maurice!! He wrote me to be very proud of that and Laz told me that Maurice even plays a bunchs of tracks too. They are now looking for representation, so for the moment they haven't got any gigs booked, but when they do Laz, Nick and Sam promise to let GSI know.
For more info about MEG www.MEGmusic.net
We'll keep you posted.

  Many fans asked us if songs like: 'The Bridge' and 'Sensuality' will be amongst the tracks on the first MEG album. However MEG just informed us this won't be the case but they do point out that for instance 'The Bridge' would be an ideal track on a possible tribute album once.

Maurice Gibb Memorial Park
As you know there's going to come a Memorial Park in honor of Maurice in Miami Beach. (Middle Beach: 18th St. & Purdy Ave) See for details: www.miamibeachfl.gov. It will include a landscaped plaza with mosaic flooring imported from Italy and featuring a bronze plaque and granite sign in memory of Maurice. Of course GSI has informed at management and at the moment the project still is in the permitting stage so they think it will be a short while before the construction starts however the mosaic material has arrived already from Italy. There are drawings to view at the city hall. GSI will soon inform with Maurice's relatives to get to know more details.

Kim and Peta Gibb
Peta Gibb
So many requests we always receive about all the relatives of The Bee Gees and Andy. Not very often we can help you as in general we think most relatives of the Gibb Brothers prefer not to be mentioned on Bee Gees websites too much and just like to live their own lives. This week it's Peta's birthday, daughter of Andy Gibb and Kim Reeder. Peta was born: January 25th. 1978.

Here an older photo from our GSI archives showing Kim and Peta. Like Bee Gees sister Lesley Gibb also Peta and her family are breeding dogs in Australia: Staffordshire Bull Terriers


Here he is, the new little Gibb with his parents.
Enjoy these lovely photos of Damien, Michael and Lisa.
