The surviving BEE GEES are eyeing a return to the stage – five years after the death of their brother and bandmate MAURICE GIBB.

Gibb passed away in 2003 at the age of 53 after suffering complications from a twisted intestine – and his death devastated his two siblings Robin and Barry.

The pair only played one show together after their brother died, preferring instead to focus on their solo work.

But now Robin has admitted that the emotional wounds are slowly healing and they are now preparing to make a comeback as a duo.

However, he admits they are likely to stick to their decision to retire the Bee Gees name out of respect for their late brother.

He says, “We decided that on an emotional level at that point. Whether or not that will change, we don’t know. It’s a personal thing and we’ll do it when the time is right. So it’s not a no, it’s just emotionally when it’s right.”
