Stars hold one last big bash for showbiz legend Robert Stigwood

The stars will come out one last time for impresario Robert Stigwood, who masterminded the careers of the Bee Gees and Eric Clapton, among many others.

Among the expected guests are Clapton, Oscar-winning lyricist Sir Tim Rice, who spoke at his funeral, composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and Bee Gees singer Barry Gibb.

Australian-born Stigwood arrived in Britain in 1959 with £5 and began working as an agent putting actors into television commercials.

He went on to produce films, as well as countless West End and Broadway musicals including Hair, Oh! Calcutta! and Jesus Christ Superstar.

Known to friends and enemies as ‘Stiggy’, he was not always blessed with success. His failures include the 1978 film version of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

His partnership with the Bee Gees turned sour in 1980, when they ended their 12-year relationship and sued him for £31 million, claiming he used their talents to create his fortune. However, Stigwood bounced back in the late Nineties — with the 1996 big-screen adaptation of Evita, starring Madonna, winning a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture.

The impresario, who amassed a £200 million fortune from stage, screen and music, was also a close friend of Sarah, Duchess of York.

What’s to happen to Stigwood’s money is unclear — he was a bachelor and died with no obvious heir. Perhaps he’ll leave it to Fergie, whose past money troubles are well-documented

Barry Gibb signed new record deal title new album In the Now RELEASE NOV 2016

Barry Gibb has signed a new record deal, just days after stealing the show at Glastonbury as he joined Coldplay on stage.
The legendary Bee Gee has sealed the deal with Columbia Records (RCA in the UK) and will release his first album with them, In The Now, this autumn.
The record sees Gibb – the only surviving member of the Bee Gees – keeping it in the family as he has written all the songs with his sons Stephen and Ashley.
It’ll be only the second solo effort of his career – and his first album of all-new material since the Bee Gees’ final studio album was released in 2001.
‘This is a dream come true for me. It’s a new chapter in my life,’ Gibb said.

‘I always hoped one day that The Bee Gees would be with Columbia or indeed Sony so, it’s a great joy for me to start again this way with such great people.’
Gibb wowed the crowds at Glastonbury
over the weekend after joining Coldplay onstage to perform To Love Somebody and Stayin’ Alive – described by Chris Martin as ‘the greatest song ofall time’.

The tree Gees : How much i love you with Lyrics

(lyrics and music Alex Sammarini)
Here in that place of the heart
where some fears live from the start
I hear things left unsaid
creatures of the pain
we see the storm within our house
universes that collide
why I made you cry again
when I wish I could say
  
how much I love you
how much I care about you
how much I love you
but this could be our last goodbye
 
kiss the flames and feel the cold
it's the strangest kind of love
angry again, words in vain
when wish we could say
 
how much I love you
how much I care about you
how much I love you
but this could be our last goodbye
 
I can't hide from this cruel desire
cause it's a feeling that can keep me alive
until we'll take our lives
to change them inside
and open the hearts, close the doors to doubts
 
and if tomorrow I could say goodbye
you know that could be something else in my mind
something else to say like
 
how much I love you
how much I care about you
how much I love you
but this could be our last goodbye

a big thank you to Alex Sammarini for sharing the lyrics

Bee Gees : Personalities:

Personalities:

Barry Gibb: "I can take life seriously and as a joke, because I believe that the moment we're born, we're dying, and there's no use going through it looking miserable! Don't let yourself be dragged down by your own moods; just enjoy what you've got." (1968)	Maurice Gibb: "Barry's blast-offs don't bother me, purely because half of what he says doesn't really mean anything. What I mean is that what he says is true, but he exaggerates it." (Disc and Music Echo, 1969)	Barry Gibb: "I'm very much a family person. I just love the feeling a close family gives you and I wouldn't change it for anything. I've never been into parties, premieres or night-clubbing. I much prefer staying at home with the wife and kids, watching TV or reading a book. I'm Mr Boring, not a party-goer at all." (1998)	Robin Gibb: "I think I'm more of a thinker. I'm less trivial about things than probably I should be, but I do have a great sense of humor ... maybe grumpy with a great sense of humor." (Reuters, 2001)
Maurice Gibb: "I am more or less in the middle. I've always been between Barry and Robin. But I am always the decider. It's just been our life that I always end up being the man in the middle. So they call me the engine. They call me all sorts of stuff. Barry and Robin have these different types of egos sometimes they come out and they stop. And I've got to cut myself out here. I don't want to be like them. So being down to earth is probably more important than anything else. And they're like that. They're just great guys. They're just guys like you and me. We sit and we chat, it's the same thing." (In Conversation, 2001)	Robin Gibb: "He[Maurice] was a very outgoing person, very gregarious, very extrovert, a great laugh, a great wit and very generous, tremendously generous. I know these are nice things to say about people, but he really was very generous, he helped a lot of people, he was always the champion of the underdog, people were going through bad times he would help them, so he really was a good man." (GMTV, 2003)	Maurice Gibb: "Everybody has two training thoughts. It's either fear or love. Nothing in between. It's always the one or the other. I love to live in love today. I don't live in the negative I don't think negative. I don't pursue anything that is negative. I don't even ask questions that are negative. I just go for what I enjoy. And love to do what I to do. And if I am loving it then it's incredible. That you can do something that you love as you work or your hobby whatever. To have that blessing." (In Conversation, 2001)	Maurice Gibb: "Barry is a very compassionate person, a very loving person, very protective and that shows in his writing as well - his compassion.  Sometimes he can be a little extrovert but more than anything, he totally believes in what he is doing, totally believes in the song, totally believes in the show.  Totally believes in whatever he is doing.  If he can't do it right, he doesn't want to do it." (This is where I came in, 2001) [Contributed by Melba Beggs]
Maurice Gibb: "I think maturity is setting in, but I'm still the gayest one. I don't mean gay as in homosexual - I mean going out socially." (1979)	Robin Gibb: "Barry is very sensitive and shy, but very, very sweet with it, very passive." (Reuters, 2001)	Barry Gibb: "My idea of pleasure would be sitting in front of TV. I enjoy quiz shows like the Match Game." (Teen Bag Magazine, 1977)	Barry Gibb "I have a huge ego and a huge inferiority complex at the same time." (The Mirror, 1998)
