**Barry Gibb: The Last Bee Gee and the Weight of Memory**
In his first interview after Robin’s passing, Barry Gibb opens up about the deep pain and bittersweet memories that come with being the last surviving member of the Bee Gees. He describes how many of his songs were inspired by simple moments or feelings, such as “The End of the Rainbow,” a song he wrote for Robin about finding contentment and recognizing when you’ve arrived at what you’ve been searching for.
Barry reflects on the Bee Gees’ extraordinary success, but also the parallel pain of losing each of his brothers at times when their relationships were strained. He confesses that his greatest regret is that he lost every brother during a period of conflict, and that this is a burden he must carry for the rest of his life. As the eldest, Barry still struggles to comprehend being the “last man standing,” feeling both the weight of responsibility and the loneliness that comes with outliving those he once shared everything with.
Despite the global fame and musical achievements, Barry treasures his family and memories above all. Music remains his way to process grief and stay connected to his brothers, keeping their spirits alive on stage and in his heart. As he prepares to return to Australia, he acknowledges, perhaps for the first time, the finality of his loss, but also expresses gratitude for the journey they shared and the legacy they built together.
