Biografía

Shortly before he turned 30, he and elder brother Barry Gibb fell into a "rather nasty" argument, which Barry deeply regrets to this day, since it was the last time he would see Andy alive.

He was closest to oldest brother Barry than any other family member. Barry mentored him during his career, sang backup on many of songs, and even helped him write some of his songs. Barry claimed that the close bond of loyalty Andy had for him was returned, leading Barry himself to later comment "Andy and I were twins just as much as Robin and Maurice were, in every sense of the word. We looked alike, we had similar moles, similar birthmarks, everything".

He was a licensed pilot.

Working on a new album in London in March of 1988, Andy was staying near Oxford, when on the morning of Thursday March 10th, he entered John Radcliffe Hospital, complaining of chest pains. He died the same day, just five days past his 30th birthday. His death from myocarditis (inflammation of the heart) was aggravated by his long abuse of cocaine, which fatally weakened his heart.

Suffered from the "too much, too soon" pressures and excesses of such rapid teen idol success, he fell into a severe depressive state and tried to compensate by drinking, taking drugs and womanizing.
