When Barry Gibb took the stage with his son Stephen for an intimate acoustic duet of “Words” and “Stayin’ Alive,” the moment felt timeless. Stripped of disco beats and grand production, the songs revealed their pure emotional core. Father and son exchanged quiet smiles, their voices blending across generations, turning iconic hits into something deeply personal. It wasn’t just a performance—it was a living reminder that the Bee Gees’ legacy still breathes through family, harmony, and love.

Barry Gibb, 74, and Stephen Gibb, 46, recorded a live jamming session back in March 2020 and streamed the medley for lucky Bee Gees fans.

The pair gave a stripped-back acoustic performance of three of the band’s most famous songs: ‘Stayin’ Alive’, ‘Words’ and ‘How Can You Mend A Broken Heart’.

Recorded at Barry Gibb’s house in Miami – a property the Bee Gee made his permanent home in 1974 – the duo sounded effortless as they duetted.

Stephen, a musician in his own right, has been touring as part of his father’s band since 2013.

The first-born son of Linda and Barry Gibb, Stephen graduated from music school and cut his teeth in bands across the US including Black Label Society, Crowbar, Kingdom of Sorrow and The Underbellys.

A very talented musician, Stephen joined his father as his lead guitarist and went on the remaining Bee Gees’ first solo tour, Mythology, in 2013, and since then Stephen has played regularly for his father as his lead guitarist and also for the Bee Gees’ charitable causes.

The Mythology Tour – Barry’s first as a solo artist – tour saw Stephen and Maurice Gibb’s daughter, Samantha, join Barry in regular performances.

Extraordinary performances include Stephen Gibb singing ‘Stayin’ Alive’ with Barry and Samantha, a beautiful duet of Samantha singing ‘How Can You Mend a Broken Heart’ with her uncle, and performing ‘You Win Again’ as Barry watches on.

2017 saw Stephen and Samantha Gibb form their own band, The Gibb Collective, bringing together the talented offspring of brothers Barry, Maurice, Robin, and Andy Gibb.
