The time Barry Gibb got his finger stuck in a bottle during a Bee Gees TV interview

Bee Gees Maurice, Robin and Barry Gibb were being interviewed in 1989 ahead of their One For All World Tour, when eldest brother Barry got his forefinger stuck in the plastic water bottle he had been absently playing with throughout the segment.

As Barry struggled to try to free himself Maurice started laughing and Robin Gibb said patiently: "He always does this. He always gets his fingers stuck in bottles."

 The sweet moment between the three brothers begins at seven minutes into the interview when the NBC host asked the trio about any possible future collaborations, and the Bee Gees reveal they are planning to team up with Michael Jackson.

 

We were talking in Cleveland [with Michael Jackson] that he would like to do an album with us," Maurice began.

"It was a single I think," Barry corrected "...and we'll write it together

 "Perhaps your world tours could join up?" the interviewer said.

"Well, he said something about that..." Barry started saying, before holding up his finger to show everyone it was stuck in a plastic water bottle, grinding the interview to a halt.

"It's the fifth time this week he's done that," Robin deadpans, pointing to Barry.

Maurice and Barry dissolve into giggles as Robin continues, "Last time he did it with a large bottle."

 Yeah," Maurice adds, "It took him two days to get that one off."

 As Barry sits between his brothers, trying to hold his composure, Robin continues: "Yeah, it flew in the interviewers face....it was Melvyn Bragg wasn't it?"

 

The host tries to get the interview back on track. "You still haven't told me what [Michael Jackson] said?"

Pointing the finger and bottle at her, a laughing Barry replies finally: "He said it would be great to go on tour together" and resignedly continues the last few minutes of the interview with the bottle stuck on his hand.

Barry Gibb and Michael Jackson did eventually record a duet, 'All In Your Name' in 2002, but it wasn't released until nine years later on June 25, 2011, the second anniversary of The King of Pop's death.
