After the band got back together in the 1990s, brothers Maurice and Robin Gibb died in 2003 and 2012, respectively.

Maurice Gibb met his first wife, fellow singer Lulu, backstage at Top of the Pops when the pair were 19 and 20 respectively.

They married later that same year (1969), however, sadly the pair’s relationship was not to last.

The product of a whirlwind romance, Maurice and Lulu often fell out, and the pair’s relationship was also strained by the former’s battle with alcoholism.

“The drinking was a part of it but we shouldn’t have got ­married in the first place...

While married to his first wife, Molly, he stepped out on his marriage -- sleeping with more than 100 women, by his own estimation.

He joked during a past radio interview that he liked threesomes and “cruising” for sex, and later confessed, “I didn't have sex for love, just for fun.”

Gibb has claimed that his second wife of 28 years, Dwina, approved of his many affairs, explaining, “We don't go round joined at the hip because we're married.

The paper reports that Yang is going after Dwina for a huge chunk of the Bee Gee's fortune.

One person who seems to be steering clear of the drama is Gibb's older brother Barry, whose touching Youtube dedication to Robin went viral. But now they became just songwriters, and they wrote so many tunes for other people that became number one hits.

“I decided it had to end. ‘I will give you all my life / I'm here if you should call to me,’ Barry also sings on the track.

Prior to getting married to Linda, Barry was briefly married to another woman, Maureen Bates.

I was ­probably in love with love.”

Lulu and Maurice divorced in 1974.

Less than a year later, the Bee Gees star married his second wife, Yvonne Spenceley, in October 1975.

The pair’s relationship was also put under pressure by Maurice’s drinking, tensions which came to a head in 1991 when the singer pulled a gun on his family and Yvonne immediately walked out.

This incident alongside years of trouble led Maurice to finally attend rehab in 1991 to overcome his alcoholism.

After rehab proved a success, Yvonne and Maurice renewed their vows in 1992 and remained together until his death in 2003.

Did Maurice Gibb have any children?

Yes, Maurice and his second wife Yvonne had two children together: a son, Adam, who was born on February 23, 1976; and a daughter Samantha, who was born on July 2, 1980.

What was Robin Gibb’s relationship history?

Like his brothers, Robin Gibb was also married twice.

Robin’s first marriage was to his manager’s secretary Molly Hullis.

There, the Bee Gees found their new sound — Barry Gibb’s falsetto — while they were recording “Nights on Broadway.”

“Arif Mardin, who was their producer at the time, asked if somebody could do something to end the track. I thought then: ‘That is the woman I am going to spend the rest of my life with.’”

The Bee Gees song ‘Words’ was written by Barry as a love song for Linda, and the singer has often sung the track directly to his wife while performing around the world.
