Andy Gibb

Andy Gibb (5 March 1958 - 10 March 1988) was a British singer and teen idol, and the younger brother of Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb, also know as the famous Bee Gees.

He was born Andrew Roy Gibb in Manchester, England, to Hugh and Barbra Gibb, and began performing while still a child, performing in bars in Australia and Spain at only 15 years of age. The idea of his joining the Bee Gees was often mooted, but the age gap between him and his elder brothers made this difficult to achieve. Instead, he embarked on a successful solo career. All of his singles released hit the number one spot simultaneously.

In 1976, he married his girlfriend, Kim, in Sydney, Australia. They had one child before he left her in 1978, his work and family commitments having come between them. In 1977, he had his first major hit, "I Just Want to Be Your Everything", a song written by his brother Barry. He soon followed it up with "Shadow Dancing" (the only Top Ten hit written by all four performing Gibb brothers), and for a brief period was one of the world's top pop stars, achieving almost immediate success in both the USA and UK. After a brief affair with the actress Victoria Principal, his career began to wane, and the use of drugs, especially cocaine, took its toll on his health.

Andy Gibb died at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, England, of heart failure. His body was brought back to Los Angeles, California for interrment in Forest Lawn - Hollywood Hills Cemetery.
