Barry Gibb and little brother Andy Gibb sang a stunning duet of Bee Gees hit ‘To Love Somebody’ at the annual Love and Hope Ball in Miami in 1987, just one year before Andy’s untimely death.
A rare video of Andy Gibb and Bee Gee Barry Gibb singing on stage in 1987 is one of the few times the pair were known to have performed together in public.
The famous brothers were in attendance at the annual Love and Hope Ball in Miami when they got on stage and sang a soulful duet of the 1967 Bee Gees smash hit ‘To Love Somebody’.
The pair were performing at the Love and Hope Ball, a private party in Miami to raise funds for the Diabetes Research Institute.
After moving to Miami in the 1970’s and becoming involved with local charities, Barry Gibb and his wife Linda Gibb became Love and Hope International Chairmen in 1985.
The Bee Gees and their children have played live events at the Ball in the almost four decades since Barry Gibb first become involved in the charity, yet Andy’s duet with his older brother Barry is one of the most special moments in its history.
The footage was shot just one year before Andy’s untimely death in 1988, when he died from a heart attack caused by cocaine use when he was just 30-years-old.
Andy went twice to drug rehabilitation and in 1988 planned a come back and a record deal with Island Records.
But the deal was never signed, and despite the Bee Gees also announcing Andy would be officially joining their group as the fourth Bee Gee in 1988, the youngest Gibb was suffering.
