Andy Gibb
Born: 1958-03-05 - Died: 1988-03-10Cause of Death: Myocarditis
Death Summary: Andrew “Andy” Roy Gibb had been working on a new album in London. He began having some chest pains, so he went to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. He died shortly after that on March 10, 1988 from myocarditis (inflammation of the heart). His long addiction to cocaine had apparently weakened his heart.
Gibb died just five days after his 30th birthday.
Who was Andy Gibb : Gibb was a teen idol the youngest brother of Barry, Robin, and Maurice…more commonly known as the Bee Gees.
Gibb became the first male solo artist to have three consecutive number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. The first of his hits was the song “I Just Want to Be Your Everything”.
The pressures of the industry led Gibb to drugs, which are credited for the decline of his career.
In the mid 1980s, Gibb’s family convinced him to seek help, so he checked into the Betty Ford Clinic (named after the former first lady and wife of Gerald Ford).
After his stint in rehab he guest starred on a few comedy shows (Gimme A Break! And Punky Brewster). His performances showed his fans, and himself, that he was finally clean.
With his new lifestyle, his career never got back to where it once was. Gibb had to declare bankruptcy, as his debts far outweighed his income.

You were the best. You had a lot to offer to the world and to your family. You never got over a broken heart. Rest in Peace
I love your music and you are ONE FINE HUNK, but I’m sorry your life was cut short and I know you are in a better place where you have no sadness, broken heart. You are loved by everyone. Love you always!!!
great artist and great brother
Me and my other two amigos blame one Victoria Principle, the “Mrs. Robinson” of the 80s, for everything bad that happened to you. What a sad, untimely, unnecessary death, and what a blow it was to your three brothers. There will never be a musical group with such great harmony and songwriting again, and you would naturally have stepped up when your brother Maurice passed away.
SEXY.I “LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.
He was a great singer and very good looking. The Bgees are a great singing group!!!
You will be missed!!
Thankyou for your contribution to the music industry and for giving me something to sing to in a really really high voice!
You will be greatly remembered
When I was a teenager andy gibb was the hottest man there was.I had him hanging all over my room.I still listen to his music to this day.I will always love andy gibb, rest in peace,you were truly one of the greatest.
When i was younger i fell in love with you Andy. I seen you in concert before and i not only admired you for your talent and looks but you seemed so charming and down to earth. I was reading other stories on him they said he had such a low self asstem. I wish i could have met him and told him how wonderful he was and let him know so many loved him for who he was. When i heard he passed away i called a girlfriend of mine (she had a crush on him to) and we both cried. Andy will be forever missed and loved. I know he is in a better place and not fighting his demons anymore, although he left us much to soon. Thank you Andy for showing us gal’s what a real talented gentleman is! To Andy’s family thank you for sharing Andy with us and may god bless and keep you.
♥ ya rip
Andy will remain in the hearts of those who loved him for all eternity.
Ti ho amato tantissimo. Le tue canzoni hanno fatto da colonna sonora a buona parte della mia adolescenza. Spero che tu stia meglio dove sei ora.
