I always wondered why I liked Maurice stage presence so much, was it his smile, or his hat wearing style? Now I know, he had a beautiful soul. The Bee Gees gave us so much. RIP Maurice, RIP Robin.
I'm so glad that Maurice and his family had their happiness before his passing. I noticed that Maurice's son has a smile just like Andy's. How sad for Andy that he didn't grasp what Maurice tried to tell him about A's drug use and his impending losses. With John Lennon giving 17 year old Maurice that first drink, I can't help but remember how Lennon had a knack for tarnishing the best around him. Maurice, I know you're resting in peace. You had your Purgatory here on Earth.
CONGRATULATIONS RICHARD! I Watched My Mother Drink Herself Into, "ALCOHOL INDUCED ALZHEIMER'S" Something I had NEVER Heard Of. She Was Drinking Over A Case Of Beer A Day, (Which She Had Delivered to Her Door, Three Cases, Along With A Carton Of Cigarettes, Two To Three Times A Week!) She RARELY Left The House, THANKFULLY! She Was Always Drinking & Drunk, So I Was Afraid She Would Have An Accident & Kill Someone Else. I Was Raising My Baby Sister, Who Was 9yrs Younger Than Me & Lived At My House, So I Knew She Was Safe! I'm Glad You Went The Direction She REFUSED To!
I have never heard alcoholism explained so clearly. Everyone who has this problem in their family or the alcoholic should watch this. Thank you Maurice Gibb.
So honest and sincere. Especially when it came to friends. I will send this to anyone in need of help. Such a talent. It so hurts. I was in a daze the day he passed. Yvonne, Samantha and Adam have his talent too. I am so hurting for them. Amazing person❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌟🌟🌟
I respect Maurice so much for this, just being so honest and explaining everything so openly and clearly. It shows a very human side and I feel like this could be helpful for people struggling with Alcoholism.
2022 & it’s incredible how people still feel scared to talk about addiction because of “is it going to stop me from getting a good job, or just getting a job: or is it going to embarrass friends & family. This is the sort of thing that should be played at all addiction support groups all over the world. Doesn’t matter if it was recorded 25-30 years ago, every single thing that Maurice talks about is still very relevant today. His family can be so proud of him 🥰
So inspiring to listen to Maurice admitting his problems and going on to treatment, not just for himself, but for his wife and kids. RIP Maurice. A real gentleman.
To admit he wasn’t perfect and leave himself open to possible criticism put the extra description “A REAL MAN” next to the name “Maurice Gibb”‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ He was (and always will be) someone to be admired and respected forever‼️‼️‼️ Bless You, Mr. Gibb‼️‼️‼️
It takes one hell of a big man to awake in the abyss and have the strength of character to climb back to reality knowing the odds are stacked against you! Maurice Gibb was more than a musician!
Maurice was the coolest of the Bee Gees. He was so honest in his confession about his problem with drinking. Gone to soon. Rest in Peace! Best hat wearer ever!
I first came across this about 6-7 years ago when I was coming off prescription drugs after 28 years I decided something had to change. I had a bit of a rough time but I’m proud to say I exceeded all expectations & I never looked back. On one of my hospital visits I found this & every time when I’m feeling crappy & in pain, I come back & watch this.
Agree, he was so honest, admitting the problem was with himself no-one else, the verbal abuse etc. I myself don’t drink (through choice) but I have never seen a ‘happy’ addict, be it drugs or drink. I’m so glad that he squared himself up and had a happy home life in the end.
What a brutally honest interview by Maurice. He bared his soul completely, in hopes that he can help others in the same boat. He was so fortunate to be married to Yvonne. She was so patient and tolerant, despite all the pain, suffering, and fear she and the kids went through with Maurice's alcoholic addiction. I am so happy he was able to control it, renewed his vows, and became a good, loving, and devoted father and husband. It is unfortunate he didn't live long enough to spend more time with his family after being sober.
Maurice is the person who helped me to go to rehab and change my life for the better. Although he's gone I still watch this interview from time to time to boost myself up. Thank you Mo for your inner light . RIP love you .
Alcohol is a drug and when you see people like Maurice it shows you how anybody is susceptible to it. It breaks hearts and tears up families. Thank y'all for continuing the interview with Maurice. I know it talks to people. ❤Love Maurice.
Surprised that he didnt feel his worth. Should be exact opposite like I am so great being BG. He always seemed so cooled but you cant tell what he was thinking inside. Of course it damaged his liver, which shortened his life. I cried like crazy when he died 2003. Loved their music.
I will never stop missing this man.. a warm, wonderful, super talented human being...its feels its like only just yesterday that I heard that he died...i remember exactly where I was..in my living room...whooh...
Oh I was so extremely impressed by this OH so clear and honest interview by my very favourite Bee Gee bro...his clarity and easy going super intelligence reached way down into my heart...I'm watching for the 30th time! I'm so in love with him now... FOREVER Bee Gees.# Forever Maurice!... our Marvelous Mo! Missing him more...
Thank you Maurice for having the courage and honesty to share your darkest moment with all of us. God bless you and your brothers. What a wonderful inspiration. RIP
How many famous people in this day and age would admit to even 1% of what this man is making public? Major props to him for airing his dirty laundry, admitting he has issues and being man enough to confront them and change himself!
This made me cry. I am so sorry this beautiful, loving soul has been taken from his family and all the rest of us. And to think Robin had nearly the same thing happen to him. The Bee Gee's have always had a special place in my heart. RIP sweet Maurice and Robin.
I never knew of his alcoholism! Maybe because I was deep in my own misery of addiction. Even though he has gone he just gave me a gift that keeps me going in my own Recovery! Thank you Maurice. RIP 4 1/2 years for myself!
Maurice left us too soon.The Bee Gees are an inspiración for our lives.My favourite was Maurice, bit I love them'll.I CRied for him....RIP Mau.The mourning of his family is our too.Love you Bee Gees..
His testimony is so inspiring. He recovered in a time when it wasn't fashionable to share your alcoholism with the world. I'm so proud of him for sharing this part of his life with others. As a recovering addict going on 10 years now, I know "Our secrets keep us sick". Props to Maurice and his family for supporting him.
Stimme zu! “Die Geheimnisse halten uns krank”. Ich glaube, > Mo teilte seine Herz und Liebe zwischen zwei Frauen. Das macht die Seele zum schaffen. > Musikalisch könnte sich auch nicht richtig entfalten er war irgendwie nicht wirklich anerkannt. > Seiner Humor scheint manchmal nur Fassade zu sein, damit seine Gefühle versteckte. Fakt ist: Ohne Grund konsumiert kein Mensch Alkohol!!!! Mo war eine grosse Musiker, Sänger und einer liebevolle herzliche aber sehr sensibler Mensch. RIP Mo, du war’s große artig. ❤️🙏🌹 Bee Gees produzierte zeitlose Musik somit für immer und ewig. Danke Jungs
Yes he left us so soon but, he left us with a musical hit of his journey through his illness. * Man in the middle * I just is discoverd it a while back and love it. ❤ 🇬🇧
As an alcoholic in recovery, I certainly appreciate the honesty and acceptance that Maurice had as he dealt with alcoholism. Doing the interview and "giving it away to keep it" has certainly helped many, and now, me as well. This disease does not discriminate - it cares not whether its victim is famous or obscure, wealthy or poor, black, white, male, female, young, old.... In the end, while he had a great career as a musician, I'm betting that he was most proud and grateful for getting his life and family back.
My heart too , From the first moment I saw him . That first instant was so long ago, I was still a child. If anything has changed in all that time, it's my ever-growing admiration.
Barry ne méritait pas un regard si doux. Il a depuis le début toujours été jaloux des jumeaux qui chantaient nettement mieux que lui. Leurs voix cachaient les défauts de la sienne.😢😢😢❤❤❤ pour Maurice mort trop jeune. Les meilleurs n'étant plus là, il n'y a plus eu les Bee Gees. Cela a permis à Robin de chanter de magnifiques chansons étant l'auteur compositeur de ses chansons puis c'est lui qui est parti après son jumeaux étant très proches tous les deux. ❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful human being. So heartbreaking that he’s gone too soon. He left his family with the gift of sobriety and many present moments and memories.
I smoked weed for nearly 40 years. I stopped instantly when I begged God for help. Threw away everything and have not had a single craving since. Been 2 years now and I know I won't ever smoke again. Thank you Jesus.
The nearest thing you can get to a Bee Gee's concert is a fantastic tribute band called Jive Talking go to their web page for gig dates they work most weekends and tour from Inverness to Devon and Cornwall and all points in between
I know I never really realised how good the beegees was, my family knew maurice personally as his wife was from around where I live, they all praised him. I now see his wifes brother oftenly, not so much his wife as she lives in America
eleanor gordon Oh my dear friend I so wish I could give you a taste of what the experience was seeing them in concert. I saw them in concert in 1979 and I can close my eyes and feel like I’m there as if it was yesterday.. I absolutely was on cloud nine and in heaven the whole night. I thank God every day I was able to have that experience. May you always enjoy the music and when you are listening to their beautiful harmonies..close your eyes as if you were there.
@@maryrevis3367 That's how I imagined it would be. Thanks for sharing. Memories for your lifetime. I become engrossed just watching their live performances. They ooze charisma, especially Maurice.
This is beautiful that he got well and he was such a good person but so hard to watch since he's gone. His family must miss him terribly. So very sad. It's been years now but still. What a great human being.
Yes. Mo really rocked those trade-mark hat's! The one fedora hat he wore so much was given to Robin when he passed. Robin placed it in sight on his mantle, from an article I read quite a while back. Robin was always my favorite of the Brothers but who can't help but love sweet Mo? And I'm so glad he was born a twin to Robin, to walk thru life with him. (But poor Robin almost lost his mind with the death of his twin.💔)
His story changed my way of battling my own food and weight obsession and i have been sober since 1993 and i wish he were still here with his family and may he rest in peace
Sad thing about it is, alcohol can be totally abstained from so as to not partake in that which destroys you. But not food. You have to have food to survive. Just think if alcoholics had to have just a glass or two a day to survive but no more. No one would survive alcoholism.
Maurice was always my crush of the group . He seemed to be so much fun ,even after sobriety . I remember being in bed on a lazy day ,listening to the radio ,and it said Maurice had passed . I cried for weeks . Now it seems from media that Barry will soon join his precious brothers. Again ,I’ve cried for days ,as a 66 year old woman . There never has ,nor will there ever be ANYTHING like The Bee Gees 💔
I knew him from my Little River AA days in Miami. He was always willing to help others. The day he died was such a shock to all of us. I think about him every now and then--even years now since his passing.
Dear maurices Gibb. En Robin Gibb.i mis you zo match. Maar in mijn hart leven jullie voort. For ever end ever. I LOVE YOU ZO MUTCH. RUST IN PEACH. Heel veel liefs van Holland Harderwijk i love you all.
Thank God he broke free of this prison before he died so his family could have their Father, husband, brother and best friend back, again. Truly a gift from God.
Was the alcoholism a gift from god too? Seems a bit mean, creating a problem only to then claim credit for fixing it... But I guess god never has to take responsibility for the bad stuff, that's always "the devil" or "free will". The good stuff never is somehow...
@@kisbear89 Yes they were. And yes it's sad. I feel so bad for Barry, it's not right being the oldest brother and outliving all your baby siblings. I just want Mo to get the credit for beating his alcoholism, because it's he who did that, no one else. I saw a docu once where he had nick names for all of them according to their respective favourite poisons "pilly, potty and pissy". So irreverent. Lovely guys
@@annnee6818 Ann, go open a Bible. Adam and Eve had free will and they made the decision to eat from the one tree that God had told them to not partake of it's fruit. Adam and Eve chose to follow the Serpent's suggestion to eat this fruit. The Serpent told them that they would be as wise as God. So, Adam and Eve did eat the fruit from that one tree. From that moment, man became fallen from God due to disobedience. Hence, man has been fallen since then. Every decision we make is ours. We can choose right or wrong. God gave us free will. If you choose Jesus as your saviour, it's your decision. Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected for all of our sins. But, first we must choose Jesus as our saviour.
How courageous of Maurice to talk in public about his drinking problem,what his family went through along with him because it's obvious he was suffering or else why drink and of course his love for them which drove him to detox. Of course,Barry by Maurice's side as older brothers and sisters do.It's the "responsibility"that follows the 1stborns as long as they live.
Mo was a true talent and real character from what I've read about him. His honestly here is remarkable. This video is very educational. Addiction is a real bastard to all involved - not just the individual suffering from it. Hard to believe it'll be 15 years next month since Mo passed away. RIP, Mo. You were a good person and are dearly missed. Thank you for your legacy.
This is a fantastic video. His candor is eye opening and informational! I wish I had seen this back in 2021 when my sister began drinking again. Just maybe I would have understood this disease better and could have done something to help her. Instead, she passed away from her alcoholism on May 5, 2022. She was only 63 and my only sibling. While all of the Gibb brothers are very handsome and highly talented, there was always something about Maurice that stood out. Gone far too soon and missed by many. I pray his wife, children and family are doing well. Thank you for your testimony Maurice and all the beautiful music you shared with the world.
Hey buddy..that's crazy talk..just look how far down Mo was!... but he sought help..stayed the course..and re-claimed his life!...can see you truly admire these wonderful brothers...and that alone shows great taste and character!
bbodinefan11 Hey...just wanted to give you a 'shout-out'.. coz I haven't seen any new posts from you in quite a while now ... used to converse now and then about Robins voice, as we're both huge fans of his.....so just kinda wondering how you're doing there?....Happy New Year!........Keep the faith man!
Thanks and Happy New Year to you as well. Yeah I love Robin Gibb my all time fav. I'm trying to keep the faith to be around for my kids. I have a 9 and a 5 year old.
He was right some people hang around you for the wrong reason Users.as long as you are buying they hang around. Once you say I'm tired of this I'm quitting they leave they were not friends.once you cut them loose. Your life will be better.🙂naturally n.a.jj.
That rings total Honesty - I mean how many of my "friends" who I knew that were drinking/drugging actually SHOW UP on visitation day wishing me well in recovery? ZERO...and by the way 32 years later (now) they're all dead... Friends I have now, from treatment - many are still around thru good & bad times (what most of us know as LIFE)...
@@rgoob4045 So it seems rehab gives you the proper outlook on life. That's wonderful. Life lessons learnt the hard way. I'm glad you overcame your addiction. Where I used to live I had a ton of friends, until I quit drinking. They are 'good time' friends and not worth having.
I love watching this video! Maurice was a true inspiration. I never drank or did drugs, but I have hit rock bottom many, many times in my life and Maurice is right when he said you have to do it for you. You have got to want to get better for yourself. It can't be for anybody else. You have to love yourself. You cannot even begin to love someone else if you don't love yourself - words to live by. I also agree with Lynn Redgrave, Maurice was a very charming man. He is my favorite out of all of the brothers because of what he overcame.
Mine too, I don't think Maurice got the recognition he deserved. Maurice not only played instruments he could sing he also wrote some of the Bee Gee's music. The duet he sang with Lulu on her show the The first of May he wrote that. He was a very talented man and would have made a good comedian as he had a great sense of humour. Maurice is a legend!
I think he’s such an understated incredible talent. He was also very attractive and a fun person! I think his daughter is lucky to have had him as a dad. I enjoy her singing and I’m sorry the family lost him so early. All The Bee Gees are special in their own way and extraordinary when added together ! Love this family ! 😘
Maurice is a Real Man, Smart, Handsome, Best Singer and Songwriter as well as the Best Husband he really loved his wife and children. Now I understand a lot of the songs he wrote. A Blessing on earth and in Heaven, GOD needed Maurice, we will see you again. Our deepest sympathy and Love.
Wow. Amazing interview. very powerful. Maurice was am amazing human being. Having weaknesses is not what defines us. It's whether we choose to fight back and how that determines the measure. Maurice was real man. He stood up and took control.
Rick Baker -- actually, as paradoxical as it sounds, Maurice ultimately LET GO of his attempts to control and that's how he finally got clean. He ultimately let go of any idea that he was successfully controlling his life or his drinking, and THAT'S the moment when he had a fighting chance to get clean and stay clean. It sounds completely un-intuitive, but funny how that works :)
Appreciate the fact that Mo came clean about how bad and totally out of control his alcoholism had actually gotten. And he didn't try to deflect or down-play any of it. Very happy that his story had a happy ending. Yes, he died a few short years later,.. but he died with his family unified and right by his side at all times. His career and life was back on track. Mo left this world with his dignity fully intact, and left behind a beautiful legacy.
It must been hard to turn away to teach him a lesson especially Robin being his twin had be hard. But maurice learned his family was more important than drinking.in that case love did save him his family had show tough love but it worked.mo will always be loved. We miss him. N.a.jj.
You are a good soul, Maurice. I am so glad you have shown to the world and most importantly to your family that there is hope in conquering addiction. You have shown to your family on who you really was, a good son, a brother, a husband, a father, a friend and a performer. It is so sad though that it ended tragically. RIP, Maurice.
Dear Maurice, You should be so proud that you took those steps!!! I grew-up in a seven sibling home, my Mom was perfect!!! My father was a sever ALCOHOLIC!!! I would listen to my Mom, when she tried to tell me "IT'S A DISEASE" But I couldn't understand! You are ruining all the lives around you how can you look away??? CONGRATULATIONS!!! I wish more people had your COURAGE ❣❣❣
He was a great Artist, Musician , and Singer/Songwriter...he is sorely missed. Like his brothers Andy and Robin, gone way too soon.He blessed us with his gift of song and so did his dearly departed brothers....Stay strong Barry....We love you. God bless.
I never tire of the Bee Gees. Morris really wanted to give back. What a great man. So candid! I can't begin to imagine how so much tragedy has afflicted one family. My heart goes out to them. God bless these brothers and RIP...Morris, Robin, and Andy.
Interesting to see and listen to the real Maurice Gibb - a very intelligent, honesty and empathetic man - down-to-earth on himself. He had to endure the fantasy and fake world of showbiz and so many fail. Sorry we have lost him, but thank you for this revealing video.
As I'm a HUGE fan of Maurice's, I'm pretty sure I would've fallen off the boat if I were Lynn Redgrave and saw him waiting there on the dock. RIP to a marvelous and talented man.
This is one of the most honest information I heard in a very long time. Very often people are in denial or playing blame games. Or sadly, many people are using sensitive issues for their own benefit. But, the way Mo was admitting that he was his own enemy is a very strong statement. For a human being to publically admit the way he was living and creating hell for his family is extremely rare. At the end you were not the man in the middle but became the man on the top. It's extremely sad that, when you started being kind to your life, the life didn't want to be with you. Though your life was short, what you left for the world is eternal and magic! Rest in heaven you beautiful man with your beautiful brothers! ❤
When he said he cried, I could see all the emotion in his eyes. How heartbreaking. He was the kindest person that ever lived.
I always wondered why I liked Maurice stage presence so much, was it his smile, or his hat wearing style? Now I know, he had a beautiful soul. The Bee Gees gave us so much. RIP Maurice, RIP Robin.

He was so gorgeous here! So honest.
Dont forget Andy.
Nobody looked as cool as Maurice in a hat
I'm so glad that Maurice and his family had their happiness before his passing. I noticed that Maurice's son has a smile just like Andy's. How sad for Andy that he didn't grasp what Maurice tried to tell him about A's drug use and his impending losses. With John Lennon giving 17 year old Maurice that first drink, I can't help but remember how Lennon had a knack for tarnishing the best around him. Maurice, I know you're resting in peace. You had your Purgatory here on Earth.
As a retired Marine, I just watched this video. May have just saved my life.
How are you doing, Richard? Hope you are okay. ♥️

So much respect and love for this man. There will never be another Maurice. 💔
Never!!!!!!!!!!!!¡
Maurice has been gone for years and I just watched this for the 2nd time .I still listen to the beegees everyday.😢
@bettymorrison6827 I may not listen to them every day but I listen to them a lot.
I respect Maurice so much for this, just being so honest and explaining everything so openly and clearly. It shows a very human side and I feel like this could be helpful for people struggling with Alcoholism.
Beautiful description of the courage and strength one takes on the path of surrender and healing. What a sweet guy.
MAURICE Gibb is a beautiful person ,and boy does the world miss him .Rest in Peace ,Maurice
Wonderful that a man can change so much and then be honest about it. He is a teacher. I pray his family have all healed. ❤️
It's his honesty that continues to help people 30 years on here in 2020. Thank you Mo. God rest your soul in eternal peace. You are loved.

No he did not stop lying!
What???????
It takes one hell of a big man to awake in the abyss and have the strength of character to climb back to reality knowing the odds are stacked against you! Maurice Gibb was more than a musician!
Good on Maurice. I stopped drinking on my own but should have gotten help...
It sure does, a lot of strength

He was the best! He played keyboard, and bass, and sang baritone! Plus he seemed really cool! Died too tragically!!
Salute to a man that realizes, admits of his mistake and then share it with the world so others can benefit of the experience!!
To be commended- yes! It doesn’t matter who we are…. we are not infallible. Rip Maurice.. Robyn.. Andy

His talking about his drinking was a large help in his recovery. Just wish he had had had more time in his life. A great voice.
He would have had last time if he didn't get sober. The alcohol was affecting his liver before, he got sober.

How many famous people in this day and age would admit to even 1% of what this man is making public? Major props to him for airing his dirty laundry, admitting he has issues and being man enough to confront them and change himself!
Maurice was sooo handsome I never noticed it until now I've been a huge fan of their music 70's and 80's particularly
Everyone thought Barry was so handsome but not me. Maurice as the most handsome of the brothers
Maurice was a very good man who overcame a terrible addiction. I wish he and Robin were still here.
This made me cry. I am so sorry this beautiful, loving soul has been taken from his family and all the rest of us. And to think Robin had nearly the same thing happen to him. The Bee Gee's have always had a special place in my heart. RIP sweet Maurice and Robin.
I hear y’a ..... all the good ones are taken from us so prematurely.
He should have stopped drinking,. He might have lived a lot longer.

As I listened to him talk about his time in treatment, I cried. What a beautiful testimony of strength and courage.
I thought the redoing of his vows was especially sweet
I don't drink. Can mess up your liver and kill u.
The Bee Gees were the best singing group in the world. Ever. B.k
I never knew of his alcoholism! Maybe because I was deep in my own misery of addiction. Even though he has gone he just gave me a gift that keeps me going in my own Recovery! Thank you Maurice. RIP 4 1/2 years for myself!

His testimony is so inspiring. He recovered in a time when it wasn't fashionable to share your alcoholism with the world. I'm so proud of him for sharing this part of his life with others. As a recovering addict going on 10 years now, I know "Our secrets keep us sick". Props to Maurice and his family for supporting him.
Stimme zu! “Die Geheimnisse halten uns krank”.
Ich glaube,
> Mo teilte seine Herz und Liebe zwischen zwei Frauen. Das macht die Seele zum schaffen.
> Musikalisch könnte sich auch nicht richtig entfalten er war irgendwie nicht wirklich anerkannt.
> Seiner Humor scheint manchmal nur Fassade zu sein, damit seine Gefühle versteckte.
Fakt ist: Ohne Grund konsumiert kein Mensch Alkohol!!!!
Mo war eine grosse Musiker, Sänger und einer liebevolle herzliche aber sehr sensibler Mensch.
RIP Mo, du war’s große artig. ❤️🙏🌹
Bee Gees produzierte zeitlose Musik somit für immer und ewig. Danke Jungs
Die Augen spiegelt die Seele.
Schaut seine Augen an von verschiedene Videos! Mann kann aus seine Augen richtig viel lesen.
He was a true inspiration
He IS a true inspiration.
His wife attended codependency recovery meetings. The 12 steps for codependence.
Maurice said a phrase that hit home to me. "You have to love yourself before you can love someone else." So So True! Gail Brown
Every time I see anything about this amazing man, I feel robbed… that he left us way too soon.
Yes he left us so soon but, he left us with a musical hit of
his journey through his illness. * Man in the middle * I just is
discoverd it a while back and love it. ❤ 🇬🇧
Such a gift... his journey from active addiction into recovery.... he had the best speaking voice too, and an unforgettable smile ... we miss him x
He fought and win for himself and his family. I just wish he lived more years for everyone! RIP Maurice Gibb.🙏♥️🙏
As an alcoholic in recovery, I certainly appreciate the honesty and acceptance that Maurice had as he dealt with alcoholism. Doing the interview and "giving it away to keep it" has certainly helped many, and now, me as well. This disease does not discriminate - it cares not whether its victim is famous or obscure, wealthy or poor, black, white, male, female, young, old.... In the end, while he had a great career as a musician, I'm betting that he was most proud and grateful for getting his life and family back.
R.I.P
Maurice He is my favourite bass player I love his honesty in his confession about his problem drinking
I miss him
There you have it, a Bee Gee a musical genius yet so down to earth! Too bad he left us so soon!
My heart always melted for Maurice , his eyes are amazing ! I loved watching him sing and the way he would always look at Bary !!
I envied Evonne . He was a beautiful person 💔
My heart too , From the first moment I saw him .
That first instant was so long ago, I was still a child. If anything has changed in all that time, it's my ever-growing admiration.
Barry ne méritait pas un regard si doux. Il a depuis le début toujours été jaloux des jumeaux qui chantaient nettement mieux que lui. Leurs voix cachaient les défauts de la sienne.😢😢😢❤❤❤ pour Maurice mort trop jeune. Les meilleurs n'étant plus là, il n'y a plus eu les Bee Gees. Cela a permis à Robin de chanter de magnifiques chansons étant l'auteur compositeur de ses chansons puis c'est lui qui est parti après son jumeaux étant très proches tous les deux. ❤❤❤❤
@@odileb9559se houve um olhar gentil é porque o irmão mereceu econtinua merecendo.
His smile is beautiful
What a beautiful human being. So heartbreaking that he’s gone too soon. He left his family with the gift of sobriety and many present moments and memories.
Maurice is my favorite Bee Gees .❤ Sad he left so soon 😢 .
I need to stop smoking herbs.
I struggle with it for years.
This interview is verry stimulating for me.
Even after his passing he is helping people.
I smoked weed for nearly 40 years. I stopped instantly when I begged God for help. Threw away everything and have not had a single craving since. Been 2 years now and I know I won't ever smoke again. Thank you Jesus.
Start thinking LESS of yourself, and MORE of others~!~ That's it~!~ Guarenteed to work!!!
As I was typing the first reply to you, I hear Maurice saying HOW SELFISH, HOW SELFISH HE WAS BEING to everyone~!~!~!~
Such honesty from one so famous. My only regret is that I never got to see him and his brothers in concert. R.I.P. Maurice. You are so missed.
The nearest thing you can get to a Bee Gee's concert is a fantastic tribute band called Jive Talking go to their web page for gig dates they work most weekends and tour from Inverness to Devon and Cornwall and all points in between
I know I never really realised how good the beegees was, my family knew maurice personally as his wife was from around where I live, they all praised him. I now see his wifes brother oftenly, not so much his wife as she lives in America
Me too damn damn
eleanor gordon Oh my dear friend I so wish I could give you a taste of what the experience was seeing them in concert. I saw them in concert in 1979 and I can close my eyes and feel like I’m there as if it was yesterday.. I absolutely was on cloud nine and in heaven the whole night. I thank God every day I was able to have that experience. May you always enjoy the music and when you are listening to their beautiful harmonies..close your eyes as if you were there.
@@maryrevis3367 That's how I imagined it would be. Thanks for sharing. Memories for your lifetime.
I become engrossed just watching their live performances. They ooze charisma, especially Maurice.
Thank You❤❤❤still The Best!!!!!!
The sweetest, most definitely the most attractive Bee Gee brother. Hand down. So sorely missed
Total respect for his honesty and determination to best his demons. He is such an inspiration.
I simply love the way he carried himself,the laugher , smile and the hat. Always love you
Gorgeous man. They were such a wonderful group. Hard to believe three of the four are gone. What a tragedy.
Plus a sister.
This is beautiful that he got well and he was such a good person but so hard to watch since he's gone. His family must miss him terribly. So very sad. It's been years now but still. What a great human being.
Grandissimo, cortesemente potreste tradurre in italiano tutto, perché non capiamo ciò che dicono!
Grazie
Oh I m dying just watching💔🖤😭live on good man~~
Very well said. It's so crazy to think about, and love someone so much, that you never really knew personally.
RIP Lovely Mo
@@maddylit1643 c
Mo had been to hell and back and lived to tell the tale. He always looked great for his age even at 53 and his trademark hats took years off him.
Yes. Mo really rocked those trade-mark hat's! The one fedora hat he wore so much was given to Robin when he passed. Robin placed it in sight on his mantle, from an article I read quite a while back. Robin was always my favorite of the Brothers but who can't help but love sweet Mo? And I'm so glad he was born a twin to Robin, to walk thru life with him. (But poor Robin almost lost his mind with the death of his twin.💔)
Absolutely gorgeous man
This man had a lovely speaking voice.
His story changed my way of battling my own food and weight obsession and i have been sober since 1993 and i wish he were still here with his family and may he rest in peace
Outstanding, Kara!
Congratulations. Stay strong and stay safe. Rock on.
Sad thing about it is, alcohol can be totally abstained from so as to not partake in that which destroys you. But not food. You have to have food to survive. Just think if alcoholics had to have just a glass or two a day to survive but no more. No one would survive alcoholism.
Maurice was always my crush of the group . He seemed to be so much fun ,even after sobriety . I remember being in bed on a lazy day ,listening to the radio ,and it said Maurice had passed . I cried for weeks . Now it seems from media that Barry will soon join his precious brothers. Again ,I’ve cried for days ,as a 66 year old woman . There never has ,nor will there ever be ANYTHING like The Bee Gees 💔
Do NOT listen to everything the media say. Barry is fine.
Barry’s not joining his brothers any time soon.
I knew him from my Little River AA days in Miami. He was always willing to help others. The day he died was such a shock to all of us. I think about him every now and then--even years now since his passing.
Thank you Maurice Gibb. God bless your soul! You are now in God's choir!
Dear maurices Gibb. En Robin Gibb.i mis you zo match. Maar in mijn hart leven jullie voort. For ever end ever. I LOVE YOU ZO MUTCH. RUST IN PEACH. Heel veel liefs van Holland Harderwijk i love you all.
I just. I mean. I ADORE Maurice. He makes my heart twist in a peculiar way that makes me think I was born about 50 years too late.
Exactly the kind of man you wish still existed .. always been looking for
❤️
I agree 💯
He was the most gorgeous of all. And the most under rated. He never seemed to mind.
@@heathervarcoe6894 22@
God love Mo's beautiful soul. Such an amazing gentleman and beautiful voice
Amazingly talented. Never Forget. 🎖🎗🌺
Thank God he broke free of this prison before he died so his family could have their Father, husband, brother and best friend back, again. Truly a gift from God.
Was the alcoholism a gift from god too? Seems a bit mean, creating a problem only to then claim credit for fixing it... But I guess god never has to take responsibility for the bad stuff, that's always "the devil" or "free will". The good stuff never is somehow...
@@annnee6818 I have to agree with that, but it's to bad this is how it ended. They were all Wonderful.
@@kisbear89 Yes they were. And yes it's sad. I feel so bad for Barry, it's not right being the oldest brother and outliving all your baby siblings. I just want Mo to get the credit for beating his alcoholism, because it's he who did that, no one else. I saw a docu once where he had nick names for all of them according to their respective favourite poisons "pilly, potty and pissy". So irreverent. Lovely guys
@@annnee6818 Ann, go open a Bible. Adam and Eve had free will and they made the decision to eat from the one tree that God had told them to not partake of it's fruit. Adam and Eve chose to follow the Serpent's suggestion to eat this fruit. The Serpent told them that they would be as wise as God. So, Adam and Eve did eat the fruit from that one tree. From that moment, man became fallen from God due to disobedience. Hence, man has been fallen since then. Every decision we make is ours. We can choose right or wrong. God gave us free will. If you choose Jesus as your saviour, it's your decision. Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected for all of our sins. But, first we must choose Jesus as our saviour.
How courageous of Maurice to talk in public about his drinking problem,what his family went through along with him because it's obvious he was suffering or else why drink and of course his love for them which drove him to detox.
Of course,Barry by Maurice's side as older brothers and sisters do.It's the "responsibility"that follows the 1stborns as long as they live.
Mo was a true talent and real character from what I've read about him. His honestly here is remarkable. This video is very educational. Addiction is a real bastard to all involved - not just the individual suffering from it. Hard to believe it'll be 15 years next month since Mo passed away. RIP, Mo. You were a good person and are dearly missed. Thank you for your legacy.
This is a fantastic video. His candor is eye opening and informational! I wish I had seen this back in 2021 when my sister began drinking again. Just maybe I would have understood this disease better and could have done something to help her. Instead, she passed away from her alcoholism on May 5, 2022. She was only 63 and my only sibling. While all of the Gibb brothers are very handsome and highly talented, there was always something about Maurice that stood out. Gone far too soon and missed by many. I pray his wife, children and family are doing well. Thank you for your testimony Maurice and all the beautiful music you shared with the world.
His honesty has been his saviour, fabulous band , rip Maurice xx
I'm an alcoholic now and I love the Bee Gees. My favorite group ever. I hope I can have Maurices willpower and convictions one day.
I'm almost to the point of giving up.
Hey buddy..that's crazy talk..just look how far down Mo was!... but he sought help..stayed the course..and re-claimed his life!...can see you truly admire these wonderful brothers...and that alone shows great taste and character!
bbodinefan11 Hey...just wanted to give you a 'shout-out'.. coz I haven't seen any new posts from you in quite a while now ... used to converse now and then about Robins voice, as we're both huge fans of his.....so just kinda wondering how you're doing there?....Happy New Year!........Keep the faith man!
Thanks and Happy New Year to you as well. Yeah I love Robin Gibb my all time fav. I'm trying to keep the faith to be around for my kids. I have a 9 and a 5 year old.
bbodinefan11 God will help you! Never quit-No NEVER!!!
Mo is so so handsome and he was brave to do this video.Ilove love him.
" No, 'Cause I didn't really have any friends... The friends I have now, are friends"
AMAZING quote!!
+Alexander Justino I have a friend who recently got out of rehab for drugs and alcohol and he says the same thing.
He was right some people hang around you for the wrong reason
Users.as long as you are buying they hang around. Once you say I'm tired of this I'm quitting they leave they were not friends.once you cut them loose. Your life will be better.🙂naturally n.a.jj.
@@neitajames6029 ...that is sooo true
That rings total Honesty - I mean how many of my "friends" who I knew that were drinking/drugging actually SHOW UP on visitation day wishing me well in recovery? ZERO...and by the way 32 years later (now) they're all dead... Friends I have now, from treatment - many are still around thru good & bad times (what most of us know as LIFE)...
@@rgoob4045 So it seems rehab gives you the proper outlook on life. That's wonderful. Life lessons learnt the hard way. I'm glad you overcame your addiction.
Where I used to live I had a ton of friends, until I quit drinking. They are 'good time' friends and not worth having.
Thank you Maurice for being so honest in this interview. Lynn, you did a great job interviewing Maurice. 💓💓💓
What a beautiful and honest man Maurice was. RIP xx
I love watching this video! Maurice was a true inspiration. I never drank or did drugs, but I have hit rock bottom many, many times in my life and Maurice is right when he said you have to do it for you. You have got to want to get better for yourself. It can't be for anybody else. You have to love yourself. You cannot even begin to love someone else if you don't love yourself - words to live by. I also agree with Lynn Redgrave, Maurice was a very charming man. He is my favorite out of all of the brothers because of what he overcame.
Mine too, I don't think Maurice got the recognition he deserved. Maurice not only played instruments he could sing he also wrote some of the Bee Gee's music. The duet he sang with Lulu on her show the The first of May he wrote that. He was a very talented man and would have made a good comedian as he had a great sense of humour. Maurice is a legend!
He has such a beautiful smile
He had a lot to live for...a gorgeous wife,,, two adorable children.......let alone his fame (but i think his family was MORE important tp him)
Brave man to talk like this, wish he and the other 2 brothers were still with us
They will be soon..jw.org
3 maybe?
I think he’s such an understated incredible talent. He was also very attractive and a fun person! I think his daughter is lucky to have had him as a dad. I enjoy her singing and I’m sorry the family lost him so early. All The Bee Gees are special in their own way and extraordinary when added together ! Love this family ! 😘
Mo has the most amazing smile and lips.
Yes💕
What a story, I was in rehab with Maurice Gibb!
Maurice is a Real Man, Smart, Handsome, Best Singer and Songwriter as well as the Best Husband he really loved his wife and children. Now I understand a lot of the songs he wrote. A Blessing on earth and in Heaven, GOD needed Maurice, we will see you again. Our deepest sympathy and Love.
Best husband????
Wow. Amazing interview. very powerful. Maurice was am amazing human being. Having weaknesses is not what defines us. It's whether we choose to fight back and how that determines the measure. Maurice was real man. He stood up and took control.
Rick Baker -- actually, as paradoxical as it sounds, Maurice ultimately LET GO of his attempts to control and that's how he finally got clean. He ultimately let go of any idea that he was successfully controlling his life or his drinking, and THAT'S the moment when he had a fighting chance to get clean and stay clean. It sounds completely un-intuitive, but funny how that works :)
lindalu22291 Powerful comment!
Appreciate the fact that Mo came clean about how bad and totally out of control his alcoholism had actually gotten.
And he didn't try to deflect or down-play any of it.
Very happy that his story had a happy ending. Yes, he died a few short years later,.. but he died with his family unified and right by his side at all times. His career and life was back on track. Mo left this world with his dignity fully intact, and left behind a beautiful legacy.
Surrender, that was his word
Tomorrow is now....Maurice Gibb was so nice and funny, who continually overcame his demons when he sought help, - RIP to the man in the middle.
That was Andy gibb not maurice
Hi mate it was Maurice too he was a recovering alcoholic, which is covered in this show. Peace and Love always....
@@jj51 oh
Kein Mensch konsumiert - ohne Grund - Alkohol!!!
Mo, du warst eine große Musiker nun etwas versteckt. Bist seit 1967 meine Liebling gewesen.
RIP ❤️🙏🌹
God bless Maurices family. They lost a wonderful man. It's so nice to see how much Maurice and his wife loved each other.
Yvonne , what a beautiful and loving wife and mother. So happy she had Linda and Barry to lean on.
It must been hard to turn away to teach him a lesson especially Robin being his twin had be hard. But maurice learned his family was more important than drinking.in that case love did save him his family had show tough love but it worked.mo will always be loved. We miss him. N.a.jj.
You are a good soul, Maurice. I am so glad you have shown to the world and most importantly to your family that there is hope in conquering addiction. You have shown to your family on who you really was, a good son, a brother, a husband, a father, a friend and a performer. It is so sad though that it ended tragically. RIP, Maurice.
Beth Upson j
My husband was an alcoholic--- treatment twice--- Maurice has to be honest or treatment doesn't work--- honesty is the key
Thank you for sharing your experience, strength and hope Maurice 🙏 The Bee Gees live on forever. Amazing band from the best years in life. RIP
HE WAS SOOOO HANDSOME 💞💞💞💞💞
Yes💕💕💕
Maurice and Robin both got more handsome as they aged.
Yes he was
Dear Maurice, You should be so proud that you took those steps!!! I grew-up in a seven sibling home, my Mom was perfect!!! My father was a sever ALCOHOLIC!!! I would listen to my Mom, when she tried to tell me "IT'S A DISEASE" But I couldn't understand! You are ruining all the lives around you how can you look away??? CONGRATULATIONS!!! I wish more people had your COURAGE ❣❣❣
He was a great Artist, Musician , and Singer/Songwriter...he is sorely missed. Like his brothers Andy and Robin, gone way too soon.He blessed us with his gift of song and so did his dearly departed brothers....Stay strong Barry....We love you. God bless.
I never tire of the Bee Gees. Morris really wanted to give back. What a great man. So candid! I can't begin to imagine how so much tragedy has afflicted one family. My heart goes out to them. God bless these brothers and RIP...Morris, Robin, and Andy.

I cried all day watching each video of Gibbs Brothers. I pray for Barry's strength. God Bless You.
Molly
I absolutely love Maurice, he’s so cute and honest
Such an amazing man. I'm so thankful that he was able to beat his addictions and finish is life in a happier place within himself.
Podrían dar este video en español para comprender lo que están conversando
Tenes razón tendría q estar en español!!!!
Wow, he was stunningly good looking.
That's true....
Yes absolutely
gorgous ;)
Yes he was a gorgeous man, thank you Maurice.
No kidding! He was gorgeous. He looked great standing on the doc waiting for her. Killer smile, great eyes.
Interesting to see and listen to the real Maurice Gibb - a very intelligent, honesty and empathetic man - down-to-earth on himself. He had to endure the fantasy and fake world of showbiz and so many fail. Sorry we have lost him, but thank you for this revealing video.
As I'm a HUGE fan of Maurice's, I'm pretty sure I would've fallen off the boat if I were Lynn Redgrave and saw him waiting there on the dock. RIP to a marvelous and talented man.
I know didn't he look so cool standing on the dock?
I almost fell off the boat watching that scene.
Maurice had such a good smile.
The way she is sitting is very unprofessional!
that's exactly what I thought!
I love Maurice. He's an angel 👼👼👼👼 I can honestly relate. Love the Gibb brothers. All four of them.
I have been sober over 17 years…. what the difference is has been amazing!
I'm so glad that Maurice got help for his addiction. Also that his family stuck with him. R.I.P. sir. You've earned your wings.
This is one of the most honest information I heard in a very long time. Very often people are in denial or playing blame games. Or sadly, many people are using sensitive issues for their own benefit. But, the way Mo was admitting that he was his own enemy is a very strong statement. For a human being to publically admit the way he was living and creating hell for his family is extremely rare. At the end you were not the man in the middle but became the man on the top. It's extremely sad that, when you started being kind to your life, the life didn't want to be with you. Though your life was short, what you left for the world is eternal and magic!
Rest in heaven you beautiful man with your beautiful brothers! ❤
What a lovely and honest man to talk about his once addiction so handsome with such a beautiful sounding voice when he talks x
