Sir Barry is the last surviving member of the band after the death of Maurice following a bowel operation in 2003 and his twin Robin in 2012 from cancer."If it was not for my brothers, I would not be here. If I had spent my whole life writing songs on my own, it would have meant something else altogether.
"I hope and pray they are aware of what's happened," said Sir Barry.
Congratulations Sir Barry Gibb!
