History Music / AndyGibb

By 1981, he would enter into a high-profile relationship with ''Series/{{Dallas}}'' star Victoria Principal. He also started working on several projects outside of the recording studio, co-hosting the syndicated TV music show ''Solid Gold'' and performing in ''Theatre/ThePiratesOfPenzance'' in Los Angeles and ''Theatre/JosephAndTheAmazingTechnicolorDreamcoat'' on UsefulNotes/{{Broadway}}.

* LetsDuet: With Music/MarieOsmond, Creator/IreneCara, Music/OliviaNewtonJohn, and [[Music/MarilynMcCoo Marilyn McCoo]].

* RomanceOnTheSet: After his breakup with Victoria Principal, he briefly dated Kari Michaelsen, one of the stars of ''Series/GimmeABreak'', whom he had met while shooting a guest role.

They had a little brother, Andrew "Andy" Roy Gibb. Born on March 5, 1958, in Manchester, England, Andy grew up in Australia when his family moved there when he was six months old. At 13, he started his career by playing his guitar at clubs in the Spanish resort town of Ibiza, where his parents were living at the time. Shortly after this, he moved with his parents to his brothers' birthplace of the Isle of Man, where he formed the band Melody Fayre. A few months after that, he returned to Australia.

Eventually signing onto RSO Records with Robert Stigwood, Andy got his big break with the single, "I Just Want to Be Your Everything". "Love Is Thicker Than Water", "An Everlasting Love", "Shadow Dancing" and "Don't Throw It All Away" would soon follow in the success.

Sadly, he fell into serious cocaine addiction that would scuttle his career and damage his personal life. Notably, on a Creator/{{VH1}} ''Series/BehindTheMusic'' special on Gibb's life and career, his former girlfriend, ''Series/{{Dallas}}'' star Victoria Principal, said that she gave him an ultimatum to choose between her and drugs, and "he chose drugs". He went through drug rehab twice, and after his second stint ended in spring 1987, he had apparently beaten his addiction and was ready for a comeback, recording four songs that he and his brothers had co-written. Plans were for him to release a full album in the near future, but that album never came.

* TooYoungToDieLamentation: His last recording before his untimely death, "Arrow Through the Heart", includes the phrase "I'm too young to die" twice in succession. An excerpt from the song that included this phrase was featured in the aforementioned ''Behind the Music" episode.

Hey, remember Music/{{ The Bee Gees}}? The disco band that had brought us "Stayin' Alive" and "How Deep Is Your Love" among many over hits? Well, they have a little brother. A handsome fellow by the name of Andrew "Andy" Roy Gibb. Born on March 5th, 1958 in Manchester England, Andy would grow up in Australia when his family would move there when he was six months old. At 13, he would start his career by playing his guitar at clubs and later forming a band called, "Melody Fayre". Signing onto RSO Records with Robert Stigwood, Andy would get his big break with the single, "I Just Want To Be Your Everything". "Love Is Thicker Than Water", "An Everlasting Love", "Shadow Dancing" and "Don't It All Away" would soon follow in the success. Unfortunately, this would not last. Andy would become addicted to drugs which caused a rift between him and his loved ones. Even Music/{{Barry Gibb}} who he was very closed to. The addiction was also the reason why his ex-wife, Kim Reeder, had forbidden him from seeing their daughter, Peta. Thankfully, Gibb would turn his life around and enter into rehab twice. At the second time, Andy had really sobered up. But, two days after his 30th birthday, he was hospitalized for chest pains. Only to die soon after from myocarditis that was caused by his years of cocaine usage. Leaving behind his friends, family and fans who have been missing him to this day.
