Andy Gibb Wiki Biography

Andrew Roy Gibb was born on 5 March 1958, in Manchester, England, of part-Irish and Scottish descent. Andy was a singer, performer, songwriter – in fact a teen idol – but best known as the youngest brother of the Bee Gees, but never a member of the group. He became very popular in the 1970s with several successful singles, and all his efforts helped put his net worth to where it was prior to his passing in 1988.

How rich was Andy Gibb? As of mid-2017, sources estimate a net worth that was at $10 million, mostly earned through a successful career in the music industry. One of his most successful songs was “Just Want to Be Your Everything”. However, his success was brief due partly to drug problems. Despite this, all of these achievements ensured the position of his wealth.

Andy quit school at the age of 13, and began performing in tourist clubs around Ibiza, Spain as well as the Isle of Man. In 1974, he formed his first group entitled Melody Fayre which included Isle of Man musicians; the group was managed by Gibb’s mother and they had regular bookings. He composed several songs during this time, including “My Father Was a Rebel” and “Windows of My World”. He returned to Australia to where his brothers had migrated at their urging, since it was a good training ground for the Bee Gees. He created a demo called “To a Girl” and was working on an album which was never released. He continued making demos, and later joined the band Zenta as the vocalist – they supported international artists such as the Bay City Rollers and Sweet during their Australian tours. He performed the song “Can’t Stop Dancing” on the revitalized “Bandstand”, and the band Zenta would participate in Andy’s recording sessions. This would lead to his first single “Words and Music”.

In 1976, he was noticed by RSO Records who signed him, and he moved to Miami Beach, Florida and started recording and producing songs. He made his first album “Flowing Rivers” and released his first single outside of Australia entitled “I Just Want to Be Your Everything”, which reached the top spot in the US, and became the most played song of the year. He re-recorded “Words and Music”, and released another top single in “(Love Is) Thicker Than Water” and then started working on his second album entitled “Shadow Dancing” which was released in 1978, reaching platinum status, and the title track would become the number one song of the year. He also released other Top Ten singles “An Everlasting Love” and “(Our Love) Don’t Throw It All Away”. The following year, he started performing with popular bands such as ABBA, the Bee Gees plus Olivia Newton-John, before in 1980 started working on what would be his final full studio album, entitled “After Dark”. In 1980, his last Top Ten single “Desire” charted – in his finale with his contract with RSO Records, he helped create “Andy Gibb’s Greatest Hits”.

Andy performed less and got fewer opportunities due to cocaine binges. His family tried to help him by persuading him to stay at Betty Ford Center in the mid-1980s. He started touring once again, in small shows, and had guest appearances in sitcoms such as “Punky Brewster”. In 1987, he went through another drug rehabilitation program, and then got a recording contract for a new album. However, the deal never pushed through.

For his personal life, it is known that Andy was married to Kim Reeder from 1976 to ’78, and they have a daughter. He also had a relationship with actress Victoria Principal but it ended due to his drug problems. In March 1988, he entered a stint of depression which led him to go to hospital in Oxford, England with chest pains, but he died, and it was later discovered that his heart was inflamed due to a viral infection. It was not the drugs that killed him directly, but years of alcohol and drug abuse.

Andy Gibb Quotes

• I grew up in a show business family, so we’ve always had a great sense of balance, being so close to my parents. I’ve always known what is and isn’t reality. Even my older brothers’ early success 10 years ago didn’t change me since there was such an age difference.
• The most embarrassing thing for me was the day Bob Hope called me up and I was spaced out on cocaine. I was supposed to do his TV special, and I didn’t turn up. Consequently, I was blacklisted by NBC for a long time. I damaged my career, and almost ruined my whole life.
• Girls are always running through my mind. They don’t dare walk.
• I definitely have a sexual ego thing. But if I’m suggestive, it’s in a nice way. Luckily, no one’s ever been hurt…a few girls have passed out, that’s all.
