Bee Gees’ Barry Gibb And Niece Samantha Sing For Her Late Dad In Beautiful Duet

The Gibb family could very well be the most talented family on the planet, evidenced by the Bee Gees brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb’s remarkable chart success over the years. However, the musical talent doesn’t stop with the brothers. This was clearly demonstrated when 34-year-old Samantha Gibb joined her uncle Barry on stage to perform the Bee Gees classic, “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?”

Samantha, the daughter of the late Maurice Gibb, a former bassist for the Bee Gees, joined her uncle Barry on stage at the Wells Fargo Centre in Philadelphia on May 19, 2014, for a poignant duet. Before beginning their performance, the pair shared an embrace. Barry introduced the song by saying, “We’re going to sing a song that is our favorite, and certainly one of her dad’s favorites, and we hope you like it.”

The performance became a touching tribute to Maurice, who passed away suddenly at age 53 on January 12, 2003, from a cardiac arrest following surgery for a twisted intestine. Samantha opened with Skeeter Davis’s “The End of the World,” a poignant song that reflects the heartache of missing a loved one. Demonstrating a clear inheritance of her father’s musical prowess, she infused the country-pop classic with an R&B flair.

Barry then seamlessly transitioned into “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?”, a song with lyrics that echoed the themes of loss and longing. Samantha continued with the second verse of the Bee Gees’ hit, adding her own soulful interpretation. Together, they united their voices for the chorus, crafting a deeply moving moment. This echoed a memorable performance by the Bee Gees on April 17, 2001, at the Manhattan Center, where all three brothers delivered the song with great emotion.
