The Tragic Real-Life Story Of The Bee Gees

In a 2017 interview with Variety, the eldest of the Gibb brothers, Barry Gibb, opened up for the first time and revealed that he once came dangerously close to being abused when he was only four.

"I've never said this before, Jesus Christ, should I be saying it now? But there was a moment in time when a man tried to molest me when I was about four years old. He didn't touch me, but other things happened, and happened to other kids," Gibb admitted.

Gibb added that the perpetrator was arrested, but he still had to give a statement to the police even as a 4-year-old. Even though he was very young, Gibb still remembered the incident vividly, as well as the ordeal of having to give the details to the police.

"Four years old and a policeman on your bed at four in the morning, interviewing you; if that doesn't teach you about life, nothing does. But it's vivid for me still. I've never told anybody," he said.
