He really was too honest and open to the world of his personal life that was nobody's business but his own. RIP Andy. You are loved and missed so much. Thank you for your talent that I still listen to. ❤️
As a musician and artist, honesty is his currency. Very talented people often are, because they can be. Whilst those less talented have to build fake personas. I think his honesty is great and that's why we're here watching him in 2023. How many years after he died?
What a lovely man. There are so few kind, gentle spirits like him. And I can't get over how much he and Barry look alike. Can't imagine how difficult it is for Barry now...being the last remaining brother.
To everyone saying he was in denial and that he still had a drug habit when he died - he didn't. The autopsy upon his death confirmed he had no drugs or alcohol in his system but unfortunately the damage from so many years of abuse had already done the damage. Please don't disrespect the dead and leave him to rest in peace with all of the other great stars. RIP Andy gibb
According to his brothers and mother, he was drinking heavily in the days before his death. There were no drugs or alcohol in his system because he had been in the hospital for a few days before he died. He was an addict and failed several times to quit. It is tragic and sad but the truth is his addiction killed him.
Carmel de Bertaut You are correct about that. In the video posted titled 'The Final Days of Andy Gibb,'.. his mother Barbara talks about Andy phoning the little liquor store there in Thame, at 2 o'clock in the morning to try and get liquor. And Robin saying that Andy was so intoxicated he was crashing into walls and hurting himself, and not even aware of anything anymore. So very, very sad. Poor Andy had to be absolutely miserable towards the end.
You won't hear truth like this coming out of the mouth of anyone in music today. This is just about the sweetest person I think I have ever seen on a television show. Fame did not spoil him.
So true. We can have hidden illnesses that don't come out till you get sick. I believe he had a heart condition, before the drugs just didn't know it. Let's remember him for joy he gave us. What sweet young man he was. He will always be loved and missed. Afa, n,a.JJ.
I truly enjoyed this interview. Andy looked healthy, he had gained weight and was in a good place. He couldn't deny anything she asked him. His life was an open book. The tabloids were relentless and exposed everything. It seemed Victoria wasn't to blame, from what I've been reading lately. However, hearing Andy talk about how she walked away and didn't look back, she truly did hurt him. I've been there and done that. It feels like something inside you dies and your self worth takes an enormous battering. This explains quite a lot. Poor sweet Andy. He was ill-equipped to cope with the success of his amazing talent.
I can see parallels between him and me, as far as the qualities you mentioned. They are great qualities to have, but the downside is, as you mentioned, this world can get the best of you, unfortunately...
I hope he’s with the Lord singing with the angels so we can see him someday in heaven. The Lord blessed his looks, his sweet soul, and incredible singing voice.
As I write this, it is March 5th, Andy Gibb's birthday. Had he lived, he'd be turning 61 today! I wish he were still here with us making great songs like Shadow Dancing. He was so down to earth in this interview. Seemed like a really sweet man. Happy Birthday, Andy! You were terrific!!
THAT IS PUTTING IS REALLY POLITELY. SELF CENTERED BIG MOUTH BITCH WHO WAS FEEDING ON THE ATTENTION. IF YA WATCH THE JOAN RIVERS INTERVIEW YA WILL KNOW WHY JOAN'S HUSBAND KILLED HIMSELF. SHE WAS ASKING THE MOST IGNORANT QUESTIONS AND SAYING THE RUDEST SHIT TO HIM. WATCH IT YOU WOULD BE SHOCKED!!
Andy was a lovely young man in many ways....however, he seemed very sensitive and insecure, and maybe he sought relief thru the drugs. It turned out to be a *fatal* choice for Andy. He became very addicted, and it first destroyed his life.. and then took it!....Yes, I know he died 'clean' ...but the damage had been done from the years of drug abuse. HOW SAD!!.... Sure wish things could have turned out different for this beautiful young man.
Poor Andy. He really loved Victoria. Never got over her. Andy was so talented, good looking and good natured though. So sad that he passed away at a young age. He'll always be missed.
He dated her and Marie Osmond. Both at the time had stopped experimenting with Cocaine, and told him that "doing Coke is a Mistake. Trying it is a Mistake. Its destroying you Andy, PLEASE stop using it so excessively". They both broke up with him because he wouldn't stop.
beautiful he didn't even love himself the more victoria!!! he was attached to her because he thought his happiness depended on her. I saw love myself from a couple who have been married for 30 years. he's not that innocent, i don't want to think he used fans to get fame. he made them think that one day they would have a chance with him. but he wanted ibope, money, someone to buy his records. he lied to those poor girls, abandoned his pregnant wife to enjoy Hollywood's fame and ended up alone broke and loveless. what was the use of all this!! huh??!! And worst of all, I love him rather than hate him. My heart beats to a different beat when I see him.
@@manoeladasilva6456 He was a ladies man and knew how to make them feel good for sure. You are right. He broke many hearts but the only one who really broke his was Victoria and he couldn't seem to move past it. And he did use the media to paint himself as a victim so his fans would feel sorry for him and love him even more. But still, there was this sensitivity to him and something intangible about him that made him endearing.
Andy and Barry are so much alike in many ways….. not just the looks but the way they spoke, moved and carry themselves in interviews…. I love the way Andy is honest about himself and his reference to his life in Australian and singing in front of Princess Ann with a host of other Australians…. All four guys never forgot that part of life was great. Miss you Andy and may you rest in peace…… I have always loved you and miss your beautiful voice and smile.
He ripped Barry Robin and Maurices heart out ......and then DESTROYED his Mom and dad ....Barry always remarked he was an amazing kid .....Victoria Principal killed him on the inside
Look at Andy's face, like he hasn't slept for many days. He basically needed a great care and love. He was a very sensitive boy. I can see pain in his eyes though he pretended to look happy.
He was such a gentle and deeply sensitive soul; an archetype Pisces. I wasn't surprised when I learned he was born under that sign. They have a tendency to be dreamers, often with a wild, escapist side that expresses through drugs and substance abuse. That sensitivity really shone through, in his song-writing and performer, and was part of his innate gift and appeal. Such a beautiful guy, and I love his openness and honesty here.
Very open and private at the same time. Extremely sensitive person. He was extremely talented. 😊 just like his brothers were. So sad. The four of them would have been phenomenal . Such god given talent. RIP Andy. May your memory be a blessing. You are terribly missed.😢😢
Wow, Andy looked so much like his Father not only here but in other pictures I've seen of him. He had come a long ways to be able to talk about all the pain he had been through, as well as some of the pitfalls in life he had experienced. I really give him credit for his honesty and candid dialogue. What a sweetheart he was...luv ya, Andy 4-ever & always...
He was clearly a very sensitive soul. I think he died from a heart that had been broken too deeply to fully heal. Rest In Peace. Perhaps Andy and Olivia are now reunited in Heaven as the dear friends they were on Earth.
Omg… I love him so much! I wish he was still here. I love that you keep him alive. He’s as beautiful on the inside as he is outside. Perhaps more. God rest his soul.
YES AND ITS SO HARD FOR THEM TO COPE WITH THE OUTSIDE CRUEL WORLD. THEY JUST DON'T HAVE THE HEART FOR IT. THEIR SOULS ARE SO UNCOMMON THESE DAYS. THEY WERE SENSITIVE CARING PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T WANT TO FACE THE CRUEL ASSHOLES OUT THERE.
Such a lovely man, Andy Gibb, so sad his family lost him so young. Today, only Barry Gibb is alive. RIP dear brothers: Andy (1988), Maurice (2003) and Robin (2012). Your music will live on forever. Thank goodness we have these wonderful video’s to watch of the BeeGees and Andy.
When we see or hear Andy, the first thing that comes to our minds are talented, successful, handsome etc. But what he had experienced apart from the golden years of his life, it was no less than reaching hell. I am proud of you Andy. Really you were a very strong man indeed. I love you. Miss you so much
Always the kind that get walked on. I was like this. Soft, sweet, I liked being kind, but I have had to learn to be tough, because all I ever got was shit from people.
Thank you for posting this interview....what a poignant and honest Andy was about his past troubles and addictions....so sad that he did not live past 30...he would have made a great comeback in his music. I love ALL his music....I grew up listening to all his songs. I was heartbroken when he died....I felt so sad as if I knew him personally....We miss you,Andy and your beautiful voice and music. He truly looked sad in this interview almost as if he could cry at any moment.....I just wish he could have found happiness and was able to live much longer.....just really sad and heartbreaking.....Rest in Peace sweet Angel of a man Andy Gibb...We love you and miss you....he was such a sweet and sensitive man ....gone too soon. God bless.
I' felt I' wanted to cry I' feel so sorry for Andy! such a sweet , loving kind person , Andy perhaps never had a love of his life a good woman who could stay with him and save his life.
He seems so sweet. I was only a young teenager (14) when he died that's why I don't remember him but have been watching his songs on here since I discovered the Bee Gees had a younger brother who was also a singer. He reminds me of Barry so much. He seems like a very kind young man too. What a loss. Life cut way too short.
She used him. And he realized it later. But too late. He was so broken by her he figured it's hopeless. I'll never have real love. Being a sensitive man, Andy was living in a cold world and he knew most likely he would always be used. I think he didn't even know himself how bad he was hurting because of her. I wish he never met her. He deserved so much love from someone who gave a damn.
I am the same age as Andy, born in 1958, and miraculously am still here aged 57 now, but I have not had the backing, of a famous and very close family like Andy . And I am struggling with alcohol addiction, and feel each day I am on borrowed time. I really feel for Andy, I always liked his music, if only he could have drawn strength from those that were around him, he may still have been here. r.i.p. Andy.
WELL THEN YOU SHOULD KNOW ITS A SICKNESS, AN ILLNESS. YOU DON'T JUST DECIDE IT, ITS NOT YOUR CHOICE. JUST LIKE CANCER AND ANY OTHER DISEASE AND YOU NEED TO BE TREATED BUT HE WAS SEVERELY DEPRESSED OVER THAT COLD BITCH AND THE FUCKING TABLOIDS
I think it's the end he did draw strength from his brothers. Unfortunately he caught a virus that attacked his heart causing the myocarditis. The longer he was off of the cocaine the stronger his heart would have become. Just a tragedy.
He is so like Barry,such a sweet guy,so honest and brave to go public with his addiction.He is singing at the side of God with that angelic voice.Miss you Andy
He hints outwardly that he seemed to really really love her and was unbelievably hurt and he was surprised how she just moved on like no big deal ....You can feel it hear it and now we know it .....This kid was a terrific person who met the wrong person
I will always admire Andy for his Heartfelt testimony. You can tell he was still in pain and brokenhearted over Victoria Principle. He couldn't understand her coldness in the end. That really hurt him. His true about his addictions was heartfelt and so truthful. We love you Andy and God Bless. I also believe Victoria is sorry today.
I hope he found peace and happiness where he is now. So young so hard to understand how someone so kind could not find what he was looking for RIP finally
Oh my god I feel sorry for him you can hear it in his voice.What an angel love you always never forgotten my sweetie angel.Rest In Peace my angel.There will never be one like you ever.Terrible Victoria you hurt him.
ARG was a talented, loving, humble & a kind person. So what; he wasn't PERFECT in a lot of the decisions that he made in his personal life. According to John 8:7;..."He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone...". We are not the final judge, it is our Heavenly Father. That being said, no1 knows how or when we are going to die, just that we are. Did ARG make mistakes? YES. However, individuals such as VP CONTRIBUTED SIGNIFICANTLY to his decline & subsequent demise. ARG THANK YOU for the memories. My heart will ALWAYS belong to U. LOVE U 4EVER!!!
I have seen this before and I may have commented before but this interview is so sad/touching. Andy loved his family but I think he was overwhelmed by them. I think his whole life is the story of a sensitive person being overwhelmed by their family, success too early (due to his family's help), wealth too early, entirely too much cocaine & alcohol for too long, etc. Andy overshared when he talked about himself, in my opinion. This is something "subjugated" people do. I know that is a harsh word but I couldn't think of a milder one. It is like he never learned to have a "self" that you keep to yourself, especially the line between he and his brothers - its like he didn't know where he ended and they started. He never had a chance to develop any coping skills or a core identity. It seems that drugs where his only coping mechanism. It is a shame that he couldn't make things work with his first wife and child but again....he was so young and immature, only 19. Being the youngest in a family of very powerful brothers who can "make you or break you" and who have so much influence and control over your life can be crushing, I would think. Even if they meant well. Looking back objectively it seems that a successful marriage / life with his wife and daughter, would have been his best opportunity to become a whole person - make his own family while enjoying his siblings from a "safe" distance. Its just sad.
Victoria did act very weird about their breakup. He seemed way more into her than she was into him. When he died then she seemed to be much more emotional that she was before so you wonder if it was fake to look better. Andy was extremely honest in interviews and vulnerable which was something that allowed him to be hurt. A troubled soul, very talented.
I saw an interview where his father told him quit taking that garbage but he said he needed it to deal with Victoria .. Yikes no woman is worth that ,....
@@blakemasterson8590 In all fairness to Principal Andy's wife Kim gave him the same ultimatums but the addictions had a strong hold on him sadly. He seemed like a sensitive, genuinely good, sweet person. May he rest in peace. We lost him too soon.
This interview is very telling for me. Andy is clearly still recovering from his personal issues, and as he is answering the questions you can tell he is struggling not to break down and cry. People may not realise, but this interview was filmed after his stay at Betty Ford Clinic in 1985 - the very year Victoria Principal Marries Harry Glassman. I have watched interviews Andy had himself given before this relapse, and it has to be said Andy was showing signs of getting his act together and appearing to be moving on with his life. Seeing Victoria Married to someone else would have crushed him, both mentally and physically. I believe Victoria's Marriage to Harry would not only have been a slap in the face for Andy, but all the emotional scars would have reopened all over again. While his parents have always vehemently denied Victoria was no longer an issue by that time, I don't think they ever appreciated or understood just how much Andy was in love with her - according to his final interview with People Magazine in 1987, Andy mentions how he and Victoria were so close to marrying several times and for him to see she had done just that, with the man she was next in a relationship with, would have been soul destroying. There has been speculation Victoria left Andy for Harry, and even if she didn't, it still would have been a difficult time for Andy - since Victoria, Andy didn't appear ready or able to move on, and until his death, I don't think he ever did. In his own words, Andy admits to having other women in his life, but they were never serious and he wanted it that way. That to me was the most telling thing of all - he felt he couldn't function in a serious relationship, all the while his own daughter was in Australia and he didn't try to put the effort in for her. Peta is a humble and beautiful woman who has been through so much without her Father - I just wish Andy had made as much of an effort for Peta as he had done for Victoria.....
Well said. His daughter should have been the love of his life. If he had only gone to Australia to spend time with her. She would have been his angel and saved her Dads spirit and heart.
@@dhurley8522 Thank you for your reply. I agree with your comments, and I still get moments of sadness watching these old clips with Andy. I am still surprised after all he had been through, he couldn't keep it together for his daughter. As much as we all talk about Victoria Principal, the fact is Andy didn't make Peta a priority. There seems to be some who make comments here on RUclips about Andy's issues being everybody else's fault bar Andy's. I have watched the VH1 Behind the Music documentary on Andy, and I was impressed with how Andy's ex wife Kim, and Peta, both handled themselves - that wouldn't have been an easy interview to give, and hearing Kim say Andy didn't contact her after Peta was born - his assistant did, to find out if she had given birth to a girl or a boy, showed a big failing for Andy right there. Kim was left with many broken promises by Andy, and while I have read some comments blaming Kim and her family for not allowing Andy contact with Peta, I have to be honest and say if I was in her situation, with no financial or emotional support from Andy, knowing he didn't prioritise them, yet he found time to prioritise buying drugs, cars, boats, and living a lavish lifestyle, knowing what he left behind - I would have done exactly the same thing. Let us all be real, in his prime, for a good three or four years, Andy was earning millions of dollars a year, and Kim was back in Sydney raising Peta as a single parent with no financial help from Andy. I think Andy and to an extent, The Gibb Family, had blinders on - Barry, Robin and Maurice all had families, just like Andy, and they made sure Family always came first, yet when they gave interviews after Andy passed there wasn't any mention of the family he left in the shadows. In saying that, I have seen where the Gibb Family, in particular Barry and Maurice's daughter Samantha, keep in regular contact with Peta, and she is now being included in Gibb Family projects. Andy's life, while a tale of sadness, lost love, and depression, needs to be recognised for also being a man who couldn't handle everyday life - but I also recognise Andy was luckier than most, he had his Family, who could afford to continually encourage and support him - there is so many in this world like Andy, but they don't have the financial means, love or support that he had. Andy's stardom came at such a large cost, and one can only wonder if he ever truly saw how lucky he was to have Kim and Peta - they clearly stayed grounded, and that, to me, is what Andy needed most.
@@alanalightfoot1514 I think Barbara and Hugh Gibb babied Andy.. they didn’t encourage him to grow up ! He left school at 13 years old to go and perform. They coddled Andy, and you’re right he couldn’t handle everyday life.. how could he have possibly been a father to Peta. It’s a well known fact that Victoria used men for success. She eluded to that fact herself in a Barbara Walters interview that’s on RUclips. She saw that Andy was truly an immature mess..and cast him aside.. rather than circling the wagons with the Gibb family to get him into rehab. If she truly loved him and cared she would have done anything possible to help him, not as a lover but a friend ! Shame on her! You’re right a lot of people are at fault here, but most of all Andy! He needed to love himself and grow up !
It's 2022 I still hate that he checked out so early in life. Those Bee Gees are all so handsome and very talented. I miss them all; even Barry (who is still alive thank GOD).
As I write this, it is March 5th, Andy Gibb's birthday. Had he lived, he'd be turning 61 today! I wish he were still here with us making great songs. Happy Birthday, Andy! You were terrific!!
to have someone to fall back on such as barry gibb who in my opinion is one of the worlds if not the best song writers out there goes to show that there was so much darker pains that we never knew of...and in my opinion his break up with the fame searching Victoria destroyed him
March born, same year, whenever I listened to his music, I play it over and over again. Andy is so handsome, so sweet and he portrays it in his music. Did not meet you personally but loves you so much.You will forever remain in our hearts.
Such a great interview! He reminds me so much of Barry. He is open, honest and nice. Such a. Sweet guy…he was his dads little light and when he died it crushed him. It crushed his brothers as well, especially Barry, who thought of his little brother as his twin, and Andy idolized Barry. Barry said, that 5hey looked similar, though Andy was shorter, they liked the same things, even had the same birthmarks. Sorrily missed.😢
Yes it is a disease. Narcotics, drugs, smokes, gambling n alcohol. Professional help required. If you are disciplined and take the help you may be helped. That in itself will make you stronger and happier. There are no short cuts in life. You have to do the hard work 😓 to get better. Andy seams a loving, sensitive, genuine and honest person taken away just at his prime. May he RIP Always remembered and in our hearts ♥️
Truly a lovely man. I didn't expect him to be so open and forthcoming about everything. Today a modern day PR person would be like "Andy, shut up. Don't say that!"
He really was too honest and open to the world of his personal life that was nobody's business but his own. RIP Andy. You are loved and missed so much. Thank you for your talent that I still listen to. ❤️

I truly enjoyed this interview. Andy looked healthy, he had gained weight and was in a good place.

It seemed Victoria wasn't to blame, from what I've been reading lately. However, hearing Andy talk about how she walked away and didn't look back, she truly did hurt him.
I've been there and done that. It feels like something inside you dies and your self worth takes an enormous battering. This explains quite a lot.
Poor sweet Andy.
He was ill-equipped to cope with the success of his amazing talent.
Such a nice man. He seems quite honest. He will always be a star.

Of course, Andy is still alive in our heart and soul, he is our Everlasting Love :)
Wow, Andy looked so much like his Father not only here but in other pictures I've seen of him. He had come a long ways to be able to talk about all the pain he had been through, as well as some of the pitfalls in life he had experienced. I really give him credit for his honesty and candid dialogue. What a sweetheart he was...luv ya, Andy 4-ever & always...
I love how candid he is here.
I appreciate his brutal honesty.
I'm looking at him &the right side of his face looks swollen??

😂 i have it too...from him...❤🎉
Brutal honesty...😅

What a great testimony! I love this guy! ❤️❤️❤️
He was gorgeous!! :-)
christine smith yes he was.💞
Very cute, like a mix of Heath Ledger Jon Bon Jovi and Julian Lennon.
RIP Andy Gibb ... Legend
Lots of wonderful people die too early from drugs it's a loss for them , their family , and us.
Such a kind humble soul , Andy Gibb was :) :)
I miss him. I still play his music. I'm 20 years younger than him. Rest in peace. I love you Andy.
He was clearly a very sensitive soul. I think he died from a heart that had been broken too deeply to fully heal. Rest In Peace. Perhaps Andy and Olivia are now reunited in Heaven as the dear friends they were on Earth.
Omg… I love him so much! I wish he was still here. I love that you keep him alive. He’s as beautiful on the inside as he is outside. Perhaps more. God rest his soul.
oh my gosh he is reminding me of Lady Diana, wow,gentle souls we needed them
YES AND ITS SO HARD FOR THEM TO COPE WITH THE OUTSIDE CRUEL WORLD. THEY JUST DON'T HAVE THE HEART FOR IT. THEIR SOULS ARE SO UNCOMMON THESE DAYS. THEY WERE SENSITIVE CARING PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T WANT TO FACE THE CRUEL ASSHOLES OUT THERE.
Must be the hair..
Such a lovely man, Andy Gibb, so sad his family lost him so young. Today, only Barry Gibb is alive. RIP dear brothers: Andy (1988), Maurice (2003) and Robin (2012). Your music will live on forever. Thank goodness we have these wonderful video’s to watch of the BeeGees and Andy.
When we see or hear Andy, the first thing that comes to our minds are talented, successful, handsome etc. But what he had experienced apart from the golden years of his life, it was no less than reaching hell. I am proud of you Andy. Really you were a very strong man indeed. I love you. Miss you so much
Adult life can be agonising for sensitive souls.
@@desertrose1226 I say
Such a sad day when you look back on his interviews. He is so missed by so many. Sweet and kindness is what you see when you listen to him. ❤
Always the kind that get walked on. I was like this. Soft, sweet, I liked being kind, but I have had to learn to be tough, because all I ever got was shit from people.
@@desertrose1226
💯 Agree with you! Poor Angel Andy!
Thank you for posting this interview....what a poignant and honest Andy was about his past troubles and addictions....so sad that he did not live past 30...he would have made a great comeback in his music. I love ALL his music....I grew up listening to all his songs. I was heartbroken when he died....I felt so sad as if I knew him personally....We miss you,Andy and your beautiful voice and music. He truly looked sad in this interview almost as if he could cry at any moment.....I just wish he could have found happiness and was able to live much longer.....just really sad and heartbreaking.....Rest in Peace sweet Angel of a man Andy Gibb...We love you and miss you....he was such a sweet and sensitive man ....gone too soon. God bless.
Such a beautiful Soul this man. I'll love him forever❤😢
I' felt I' wanted to cry I' feel so sorry for Andy! such a sweet , loving kind person , Andy perhaps never had a love of his life a good woman who could stay with him and save his life.
Andy was so honest.
A beautiful man
A beautiful artist.
He loved dogs and other
Animals.
He was a beautiful beautiful person.
I miss you Andy.
i too
Pfft... nothing about his daughter?... course not... he was self-centered fool.
@@billhosko7723 he was very young
When he rose to fame.
His daughter lived in
Australia, so very difficult
To see her......
He seems so sweet. I was only a young teenager (14) when he died that's why I don't remember him but have been watching his songs on here since I discovered the Bee Gees had a younger brother who was also a singer. He reminds me of Barry so much. He seems like a very kind young man too. What a loss. Life cut way too short.
Aww Andy and Lady Diana"Gibb"- true darlings.
He thought heartbreak was a weakness? That makes everything so much sadder to me.
She used him. And he realized it later. But too late. He was so broken by her he figured it's hopeless. I'll never have real love. Being a sensitive man, Andy was living in a cold world and he knew most likely he would always be used. I think he didn't even know himself how bad he was hurting because of her. I wish he never met her. He deserved so much love from someone who gave a damn.
💔😢 Sad….
The lyrics to "Love is Thicker Than Water" encapsulates what you said...

I am the same age as Andy, born in 1958, and miraculously am still here aged 57 now,
but I have not had the backing, of a famous and very close family like Andy . And I am
struggling with alcohol addiction, and feel each day I am on borrowed time. I really
feel for Andy, I always liked his music, if only he could have drawn strength from those
that were around him, he may still have been here. r.i.p. Andy.
WELL THEN YOU SHOULD KNOW ITS A SICKNESS, AN ILLNESS. YOU DON'T JUST DECIDE IT, ITS NOT YOUR CHOICE. JUST LIKE CANCER AND ANY OTHER DISEASE AND YOU NEED TO BE TREATED BUT HE WAS SEVERELY DEPRESSED OVER THAT COLD BITCH AND THE FUCKING TABLOIDS
I think it's the end he did draw strength from his brothers. Unfortunately he caught a virus that attacked his heart causing the myocarditis. The longer he was off of the cocaine the stronger his heart would have become. Just a tragedy.
My brother died of the same thing .
@@lauracavanaugh7372 Well, I am now 62 and just recently
kicked the habit. Addiction is a very destructive thing,
especially drugs and alcohol.
Gary Dunn Great to hear - well done and keep strong 💪🏻
These brothers are so warm. They love each other and care for one another.
This was a very open and honest video Andy did it brought tears to my eyes love his music rest in peace Andy
Omg he is so handsome cute dont find words to tell this beaty soul
He is so like Barry,such a sweet guy,so honest and brave to go public with his addiction.He is singing at the side of God with that angelic voice.Miss you Andy
everlasting love rest in peace Andy Gibb
So sad. So much talent. God bless the family. ❤️🙏
This guy was my Justin Bieber. I still love him. I hope he's free of his sadness and anxiety in Heaven. Love you, Andy! ❤️
rest in peace you will live on thru us fans!!!!!
WE MISS YOU, ANDY!!! RIP. 😭💔🙏
He sounds so well here. So wish it could have lasted.
Oh he was so sweet. Such a good looking man . So talented
Andy was so honest in this interview but clearly never got over Victoria principle. She wasn't worth it Andy :(
AGREE
He hints outwardly that he seemed to really really love her and was unbelievably hurt and he was surprised how she just moved on like no big deal ....You can feel it hear it and now we know it .....This kid was a terrific person who met the wrong person
3x He pretty much tells us Big Brother Barry ALWAYS LOOKED OUT FOR AND HELPED WRITE PRODUCE AND GUIDE HIS LITTLE BROTHER.......ALWAYS!
Andy was a warm, loving and sensitive guy, and Victoria was a cold, hard and uncaring bitch.
@@angelaohara4344I hate Victoria. She killed Andy Gibb.
I will always admire Andy for his Heartfelt testimony. You can tell he was still in pain and brokenhearted over Victoria Principle. He couldn't understand her coldness in the end. That really hurt him. His true about his addictions was heartfelt and so truthful. We love you Andy and God Bless. I also believe Victoria is sorry today.
Drug addict man nepo baby
I wish this brother would have found love his music so much I wish he was still here
He seemed like such an angel. Always missed.
The most devastating comment in this entire interview @ 2:47.
"What was strange for me was she didn't seem to go through any pain at all".
Wow.
I know exactly what he’s talking about
That’ll really f*** up your head
Andy was gorgeous with a calm and humble demeanor
I hope he found peace and happiness where he is now. So young so hard to understand how someone so kind could not find what he was looking for RIP finally
Lol Andy's so funny "go away plane" what a good sense of humor
Oh my god I feel sorry for him you can hear it in his voice.What an angel love you always never forgotten my sweetie angel.Rest In Peace my angel.There will never be one like you ever.Terrible Victoria you hurt him.
ARG was a talented, loving, humble & a kind person. So what; he wasn't PERFECT in a lot of the decisions that he made in his personal life. According to John 8:7;..."He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone...". We are not the final judge, it is our Heavenly Father. That being said, no1 knows how or when we are going to die, just that we are. Did ARG make mistakes? YES. However, individuals such as VP CONTRIBUTED SIGNIFICANTLY to his decline & subsequent demise. ARG THANK YOU for the memories. My heart will ALWAYS belong to U. LOVE U 4EVER!!!
He was so adorable. What a shame that he is gone.
What a pretty and enchanting woman ,hello, my darling ?
I have seen this before and I may have commented before but this interview is so sad/touching. Andy loved his family but I think he was overwhelmed by them. I think his whole life is the story of a sensitive person being overwhelmed by their family, success too early (due to his family's help), wealth too early, entirely too much cocaine & alcohol for too long, etc. Andy overshared when he talked about himself, in my opinion. This is something "subjugated" people do. I know that is a harsh word but I couldn't think of a milder one. It is like he never learned to have a "self" that you keep to yourself, especially the line between he and his brothers - its like he didn't know where he ended and they started. He never had a chance to develop any coping skills or a core identity. It seems that drugs where his only coping mechanism. It is a shame that he couldn't make things work with his first wife and child but again....he was so young and immature, only 19. Being the youngest in a family of very powerful brothers who can "make you or break you" and who have so much influence and control over your life can be crushing, I would think. Even if they meant well. Looking back objectively it seems that a successful marriage / life with his wife and daughter, would have been his best opportunity to become a whole person - make his own family while enjoying his siblings from a "safe" distance. Its just sad.
Andy lindo! Voz maravilhosa 💞 nunca irei esquecer será para sempre 💗😍
Andy was so amazing talented man singer and actor he never was boastful of his talent always humble
He brought joy to many....rest easy, Andy.
Andy's Dad adored him!
I can tell. Hugh Gibb looks a lot like my late grandfather who I adored when I was little.
For sure that's his beautiful baby boy
What a pretty and enchanting woman ,hello, my darling ?
Andy was so special may be his voice something!! I can't explain .. I just ❤️😜😍
He was an awesome young man i am a huge fan
Addiction is horrible and I wish he could have had a "2000's" intervention and today's type of rehab. He might still be here..
DAMN Cocaine .
Victoria did act very weird about their breakup. He seemed way more into her than she was into him. When he died then she seemed to be much more emotional that she was before so you wonder if it was fake to look better. Andy was extremely honest in interviews and vulnerable which was something that allowed him to be hurt. A troubled soul, very talented.
I saw an interview where his father told him quit taking that garbage but he said he needed it to deal with Victoria .. Yikes no woman is worth that ,....
Victoria Principal is a Phony Fake!
@@blakemasterson8590 In all fairness to Principal Andy's wife Kim gave him the same ultimatums but the addictions had a strong hold on him sadly. He seemed like a sensitive, genuinely good, sweet person. May he rest in peace. We lost him too soon.
This interview is very telling for me. Andy is clearly still recovering from his personal issues, and as he is answering the questions you can tell he is struggling not to break down and cry. People may not realise, but this interview was filmed after his stay at Betty Ford Clinic in 1985 - the very year Victoria Principal Marries Harry Glassman. I have watched interviews Andy had himself given before this relapse, and it has to be said Andy was showing signs of getting his act together and appearing to be moving on with his life. Seeing Victoria Married to someone else would have crushed him, both mentally and physically.
I believe Victoria's Marriage to Harry would not only have been a slap in the face for Andy, but all the emotional scars would have reopened all over again. While his parents have always vehemently denied Victoria was no longer an issue by that time, I don't think they ever appreciated or understood just how much Andy was in love with her - according to his final interview with People Magazine in 1987, Andy mentions how he and Victoria were so close to marrying several times and for him to see she had done just that, with the man she was next in a relationship with, would have been soul destroying.
There has been speculation Victoria left Andy for Harry, and even if she didn't, it still would have been a difficult time for Andy - since Victoria, Andy didn't appear ready or able to move on, and until his death, I don't think he ever did. In his own words, Andy admits to having other women in his life, but they were never serious and he wanted it that way. That to me was the most telling thing of all - he felt he couldn't function in a serious relationship, all the while his own daughter was in Australia and he didn't try to put the effort in for her. Peta is a humble and beautiful woman who has been through so much without her Father - I just wish Andy had made as much of an effort for Peta as he had done for Victoria.....
Well said.
His daughter should have been the love of his life. If he had only gone to Australia to spend time with her. She would have been his angel and saved her Dads spirit and heart.
@@dhurley8522 Thank you for your reply. I agree with your comments, and I still get moments of sadness watching these old clips with Andy. I am still surprised after all he had been through, he couldn't keep it together for his daughter. As much as we all talk about Victoria Principal, the fact is Andy didn't make Peta a priority. There seems to be some who make comments here on RUclips about Andy's issues being everybody else's fault bar Andy's.
I have watched the VH1 Behind the Music documentary on Andy, and I was impressed with how Andy's ex wife Kim, and Peta, both handled themselves - that wouldn't have been an easy interview to give, and hearing Kim say Andy didn't contact her after Peta was born - his assistant did, to find out if she had given birth to a girl or a boy, showed a big failing for Andy right there. Kim was left with many broken promises by Andy, and while I have read some comments blaming Kim and her family for not allowing Andy contact with Peta, I have to be honest and say if I was in her situation, with no financial or emotional support from Andy, knowing he didn't prioritise them, yet he found time to prioritise buying drugs, cars, boats, and living a lavish lifestyle, knowing what he left behind - I would have done exactly the same thing.
Let us all be real, in his prime, for a good three or four years, Andy was earning millions of dollars a year, and Kim was back in Sydney raising Peta as a single parent with no financial help from Andy. I think Andy and to an extent, The Gibb Family, had blinders on - Barry, Robin and Maurice all had families, just like Andy, and they made sure Family always came first, yet when they gave interviews after Andy passed there wasn't any mention of the family he left in the shadows.
In saying that, I have seen where the Gibb Family, in particular Barry and Maurice's daughter Samantha, keep in regular contact with Peta, and she is now being included in Gibb Family projects. Andy's life, while a tale of sadness, lost love, and depression, needs to be recognised for also being a man who couldn't handle everyday life - but I also recognise Andy was luckier than most, he had his Family, who could afford to continually encourage and support him - there is so many in this world like Andy, but they don't have the financial means, love or support that he had.
Andy's stardom came at such a large cost, and one can only wonder if he ever truly saw how lucky he was to have Kim and Peta - they clearly stayed grounded, and that, to me, is what Andy needed most.
@@alanalightfoot1514 I think Barbara and Hugh Gibb babied Andy.. they didn’t encourage him to grow up ! He left school at 13 years old to go and perform. They coddled Andy, and you’re right he couldn’t handle everyday life.. how could he have possibly been a father to Peta. It’s a well known fact that Victoria used men for success. She eluded to that fact herself in a Barbara Walters interview that’s on RUclips. She saw that Andy was truly an immature mess..and cast him aside.. rather than circling the wagons with the Gibb family to get him into rehab. If she truly loved him and cared she would have done anything possible to help him, not as a lover but a friend ! Shame on her! You’re right a lot of people are at fault here, but most of all Andy!
He needed to love himself and grow up !
@@dhurley8522 💯💯💯💯💯💯👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
My heart still breaks for Andy but it breaks for his lovely daughter too. She seems such a lovely girl. I wish she had seen much more of him.
It's 2022 I still hate that he checked out so early in life. Those Bee Gees are all so handsome and very talented. I miss them all; even Barry (who is still alive thank GOD).
We felt for Andy,when he was depressed♥️
As I write this, it is March 5th, Andy Gibb's birthday. Had he lived, he'd be turning 61 today! I wish he were still here with us making great songs. Happy Birthday, Andy! You were terrific!!
to have someone to fall back on such as barry gibb who in my opinion is one of the worlds if not the best song writers out there goes to show that there was so much darker pains that we never knew of...and in my opinion his break up with the fame searching Victoria destroyed him
It sure didn't help .
My sweetie that's why i really luv u becoz your so honest many people talks about ur drugs, i dont care all i know is to luv u forever
me too
Thats why my love for u my Sweetie Andy everlasting coz ur so humble, oh i missed u soo much
March born, same year, whenever I listened to his music, I play it over and over again. Andy is so handsome, so sweet and he portrays it in his music. Did not meet you personally but loves you so much.You will forever remain in our hearts.
Such a great interview! He reminds me so much of Barry. He is open, honest and nice. Such a. Sweet guy…he was his dads little light and when he died it crushed him. It crushed his brothers as well, especially Barry, who thought of his little brother as his twin, and Andy idolized Barry. Barry said, that 5hey looked similar, though Andy was shorter, they liked the same things, even had the same birthmarks. Sorrily missed.😢
Yes, Andy & Barry were twins, just 12 years apart.
Priceless... great guy
RIP Andy, you have many fan everywhere we all love you and miss you
Yes it is a disease. Narcotics, drugs, smokes, gambling n alcohol. Professional help required. If you are disciplined and take the help you may be helped. That in itself will make you stronger and happier. There are no short cuts in life. You have to do the hard work 😓 to get better.
Andy seams a loving, sensitive, genuine and honest person taken away just at his prime. May he RIP
Always remembered and in our hearts ♥️
Miss him so much
Me too. ;(
bbonifacio20
Miss him always and forever.
Obsessed with the Brothers Gibb , Shadow Dancing, Andy Gibb RIP brother.
Andy sure did emulate his big brother Barry as well as look like him......God Bless him!
What a pretty and enchanting woman ,hello ,my darling ?
Love this guy
Very handsom.great voice
stars are so human............they struggle....they hurt.....god bless the Gibb family.
Truly a lovely man. I didn't expect him to be so open and forthcoming about everything. Today a modern day PR person would be like "Andy, shut up. Don't say that!"
Beautiful man, inside and out🙏
He was a sweet and gentle soul
Yah... as for years when snorting and taking drugs over Voctoria or his daughter...
I so miss you beautiful soul ❤ you are so loved.
Very sweet man.
Lovely. Very lovely Andy. He was sooo unlike many British men around today.
he is the spitting image of his brother barry
Yes, but almost like a son...
