      CONGRATULATIONS RICHARD! I Watched My Mother Drink Herself Into, "ALCOHOL INDUCED ALZHEIMER'S" Something I had NEVER Heard Of. She Was Drinking Over A Case Of Beer A Day, (Which She Had Delivered to Her Door, Three Cases, Along With A Carton Of Cigarettes, Two To Three Times A Week!) She RARELY Left The House, THANKFULLY! She Was Always Drinking & Drunk, So I Was Afraid She Would Have An Accident & Kill Someone Else. I Was Raising My Baby Sister, Who Was 9yrs Younger Than Me & Lived At My House, So I Knew She Was Safe! I'm Glad You Went The Direction She REFUSED To!

      I'm so glad that Maurice and his family had their happiness before his passing. I noticed that Maurice's son has a smile just like Andy's. How sad for Andy that he didn't grasp what Maurice tried to tell him about A's drug use and his impending losses. With John Lennon giving 17 year old Maurice that first drink, I can't help but remember how Lennon had a knack for tarnishing the best around him. Maurice, I know you're resting in peace. You had your Purgatory here on Earth.

I had a bit of a rough time but I’m proud to say I exceeded all expectations & I never looked back. On one of my hospital visits I found this & every time when I’m feeling crappy & in pain, I come back & watch this.

      2022 & it’s incredible how people still feel scared to talk about addiction because of “is it going to stop me from getting a good job, or just getting a job: or is it going to embarrass friends & family. This is the sort of thing that should be played at all addiction support groups all over the world. Doesn’t matter if it was recorded 25-30 years ago, every single thing that Maurice talks about is still very relevant today. His family can be so proud of him 🥰

Robin placed it in sight on his mantle, from an article I read quite a while back. Robin was always my favorite of the Brothers but who can't help but love sweet Mo? And I'm so glad he was born a twin to Robin, to walk thru life with him. (But poor Robin almost lost his mind with the death of his twin.💔)

      > Mo teilte seine Herz und Liebe zwischen zwei Frauen. Das macht die Seele zum schaffen.
      > Musikalisch könnte sich auch nicht richtig entfalten er war irgendwie nicht wirklich anerkannt.
      > Seiner Humor scheint manchmal nur Fassade zu sein, damit seine Gefühle versteckte.
      Fakt ist: Ohne Grund konsumiert kein Mensch Alkohol!!!!
      Mo war eine grosse Musiker, Sänger und einer liebevolle herzliche aber sehr sensibler Mensch.

    As an alcoholic in recovery, I certainly appreciate the honesty and acceptance that Maurice had as he dealt with alcoholism. Doing the interview and "giving it away to keep it" has certainly helped many, and now, me as well. This disease does not discriminate - it cares not whether its victim is famous or obscure, wealthy or poor, black, white, male, female, young, old.... In the end, while he had a great career as a musician, I'm betting that he was most proud and grateful for getting his life and family back.

Cela a permis à Robin de chanter de magnifiques chansons étant l'auteur compositeur de ses chansons puis c'est lui qui est parti après son jumeaux étant très proches tous les deux. ❤❤❤❤

    What a brutally honest interview by Maurice. He bared his soul completely, in hopes that he can help others in the same boat. He was so fortunate to be married to Yvonne. She was so patient and tolerant, despite all the pain, suffering, and fear she and the kids went through with Maurice's alcoholic addiction. I am so happy he was able to control it, renewed his vows, and became a good, loving, and devoted father and husband. It is unfortunate he didn't live long enough to spend more time with his family after being sober.

      @@annnee6818 Ann, go open a Bible. Adam and Eve had free will and they made the decision to eat from the one tree that God had told them to not partake of it's fruit. Adam and Eve chose to follow the Serpent's suggestion to eat this fruit. The Serpent told them that they would be as wise as God. So, Adam and Eve did eat the fruit from that one tree. From that moment, man became fallen from God due to disobedience. Hence, man has been fallen since then. Every decision we make is ours. We can choose right or wrong. God gave us free will. If you choose Jesus as your saviour, it's your decision. Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected for all of our sins. But, first we must choose Jesus as our saviour.

      Rick Baker -- actually, as paradoxical as it sounds, Maurice ultimately LET GO of his attempts to control and that's how he finally got clean. He ultimately let go of any idea that he was successfully controlling his life or his drinking, and THAT'S the moment when he had a fighting chance to get clean and stay clean. It sounds completely un-intuitive, but funny how that works :)

    Although Maurice was more quiet with guitar and keyboards, it was he that was the high note one. Many may not know this but even Barry has said so himself. Shown well on Nights on Broadway. Everyone believed he was the deeper voice. As a trio, the harmonies are unmatched by anyone as yet. The song writing, the singing, the talent flowed from the Bee Gees like the wind blowing across an ocean. Naturally, freely and the music they have made and the bond they shared was in their Souls.

      When they were harmonizing in medleys. Yes, Maurice would mostly sing in falsetto. But all 3 of them would always have a time they would sing the "higher" part

      @@candyc.3163 Yes he did. Some of his songs are: Closer Than Close, man in the middle, wildflowers, and probably my favorite the bridge. I don't know about wildflowers but there are videos for the other songs. For Closer Than Close try one night only in Las Vegas.

      Tina Johnston-Baker No, Barry did the falsetto on Nights on Broadway. There’s a video showing the making of it, the producer asked the brothers to try and Barry was the one who was best at it........ the rest is history.

    Maurice was charming, very handsome and talented. An obviously very honest. He had the strength to go into rehab (many don't). Thanks Maurice for your great talent, honestly and helping others and the wherewithal to keep going. I don't believe you were blaming Lennon, however, I do. You were young, weren't involved in alcohol or drugs but introduced to them when you were impressionable. More so because you were a big entertainer. RIP

      @Kitten Lyric True. He would have found booze as Barry drank too. He didn't let drugs or alcohol take control though.

      No one allows alcohol to take over, it's in your genetics and yes it differs from sibling to sibling. Kudos to those who get treatment and stay sober.

    You are a good soul, Maurice. I am so glad you have shown to the world and most importantly to your family that there is hope in conquering addiction. You have shown to your family on who you really was, a good son, a brother, a husband, a father, a friend and a performer. It is so sad though that it ended tragically. RIP, Maurice.

    Interesting to see and listen to the real Maurice Gibb - a very intelligent, honesty and empathetic man - down-to-earth on himself. He had to endure the fantasy and fake world of showbiz and so many fail. Sorry we have lost him, but thank you for this revealing video.

    Maurice was always my favorite BeeGee. When I see or hear them sing now it hurts me. They were already famous when I was born so I grew up with them. I find it sad when I see Barry alone now.
