Robin Gibb has revealed that he is planning to reform the Bee Gees with his brother Barry.

Robin, Barry and Maurice Gibb were one of the most successful pop acts of all time, scoring hits with ‘How Deep Is Your Love?’, ‘More Than A Woman’ and ‘Night Fever’ between 1958 and 2003. The group disbanded six years ago following the sudden death of Maurice.

However, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra, the musician confirmed yesterday that the band are now ready to perform again as a duo.

“The two of us are getting back together again,” he said. “I was with Barry in Miami a couple of days ago. It was an emotional thing because Maurice wasn’t just a brother, he a was a comrade in arms really.

“We have got through the breakwater of the emotions and now we can go forward.”

Gibb revealed in 2008 that he was “very open” to the idea of Bee Gees reunion, but his latest comments are the first confirmation that the brothers are planning live shows again.>DS Celebs
