Just 25 minutes ago, deeply concerning news broke from Miami, Florida, where Ashley Gibb, son of legendary Bee Gees member Barry Gibb, shared an emotional and urgent message with fans around the world. At the age of 78, Barry Gibb is reportedly experiencing serious health issues, and the family is asking for prayers, privacy, and support during this difficult time.
In a heartfelt message posted to social media, Ashley Gibb expressed the family’s deep concern over Barry’s current condition and thanked fans for their decades of unwavering love and support.
“My father is resting,” Ashley said. “But he’s going through a tough chapter. We’re staying close, keeping the music playing, and holding on to our faith. He has always been strong, but now he needs your prayers more than ever.”
While the family has chosen not to disclose the specific nature of Barry’s health issues, Ashley emphasized that the legendary musician is under close medical care and surrounded by loved ones in his Miami home.
Barry Gibb, the last surviving member of the Bee Gees, has lived a life full of incredible highs and unimaginable losses. He stood by as his brothers — Maurice, Robin, and Andy — each passed away, leaving him to carry the legacy of their music alone. Yet through the pain, Barry remained a symbol of strength, grace, and enduring artistry.
Over the years, Barry Gibb’s music has become the soundtrack of multiple generations. With hits like “How Deep Is Your Love,” “To Love Somebody,” “Stayin’ Alive,” and “Words,” his voice and songwriting touched the hearts of millions. But beyond the spotlight, Barry has always been a devoted family man — quiet, thoughtful, and deeply spiritual.
“He’s still the man with the melodies,” Ashley said. “Even when he doesn’t speak much, you can see the music still lives in him. It always has.”
Barry Gibb’s fans, some of whom have followed his career since the 1960s, have already begun flooding social media with messages of hope, love, and gratitude. Many are recalling moments when Barry’s music helped them through hard times, or brought joy to important life events.
“He gave us decades of music and emotion,” one fan wrote. “Now we give him our love and prayers.”
Ashley closed his statement by asking fans to remain hopeful, and to remember that Barry is a fighter.
“He’s given everything to the world — his voice, his heart, his soul. Now we ask the world to give him strength in return.”
As the Gibb family faces this moment together, the global music community stands with them — united in love for a man who not only shaped the sound of a generation, but who did so with humility, resilience, and grace.
