Andy Gibb
Biography
Once the Bee Gees experienced a career revival with the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack in 1977, the Gibb brothers' younger sibling Andy began his own solo career. Following his brothers' disco style, Andy Gibb's first three singles ("I Just Want to Be Your Everything," "(Love Is) Thicker Than Water," and "Shadow Dancing") all hit number one. Three more consecutive Top Ten hits followed, cementing his overnight sensation status. Despite the number four "Desire," Gibb's streak of Top Ten hits began to slip in 1980; the following year he had his last Top 40 hit, "Me (Without You)." After a brief stint as the host of Solid Gold, Gibb turned to acting, where he failed to replicate the enormous success of his recording career. He developed a massive cocaine addiction, which led to his death in 1988 from an inflammatory heart virus. He was 30 years old. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Love his music. Andy Gibb was talented like his brothers. What a horrible tragedy when lost his life in 1988. While he sought something little did he know how loved he was by not only his family but by millions of people around the world. When I heard of his death I cried for a long time and still cry today when I hear his songs and think of him and his loss to us all and his family. Yes, Absolutely he will always be remembered

HE WAS SUCH A GOOD SONGWRITER AND SINGER, IT'S A SHAME HE DIED SO SOON

He was truly one of the best singers I've heard and is very missed in the music world. My sister's and I listened to him and his brother's The Bee Gee's and still do. I had the chance to see The Bee Gee's in 1979 and 1997, what a thrill it was.

Such a heart throb, and what a waste to have left us so soon. I had his posters hanging in my bedroom for years.. I was devastated by the news of his death.. RIP Andy..

He was so cute and so talented, having so much to offer to the world of music. I'm sorry he left us...it was way too soon..

I've loved this artist AND his brothers since I was 16! Andy Gibb will always be my baby. God rest his soul; Good Night Sweet Prince.
