In a memorable performance that left the audience deeply moved, Barry Gibb took the stage with his son Stephen Gibb to perform the Bee Gees’ classic “I’ve Gotta Get a Message to You.” The duet took place at the iconic Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on June 4, 2014, during Barry’s Mythology Tour—a tribute to his late brothers and fellow Bee Gees members, Robin and Maurice Gibb.
The song, originally released in 1968, became the Bee Gees’ second number-one hit on the UK Singles Chart. Written by Robin Gibb, it tells the poignant story of a man on death row pleading for a final message to be sent to his loved one. The emotional depth of the song was amplified by the father-son duo’s heartfelt rendition, resonating powerfully with the audience.
Stephen Gibb, a musician in his own right and a member of the Gibb Collective—a band formed by the children of the Gibb brothers—brought a fresh yet nostalgic energy to the performance. The collaboration not only showcased the enduring legacy of the Bee Gees’ music but also highlighted the family’s continued contribution to the music world.
The Mythology Tour was Barry Gibb’s first tour without his brothers, marking a significant moment in his career. Accompanied by Stephen and his niece Samantha Gibb, Maurice’s daughter, Barry transformed the tour into a family affair that honored the memory of Robin and Maurice. The emotional duet between Barry and Stephen at the Hollywood Bowl became one of the tour’s standout moments, leaving a lasting impression on fans and reaffirming the timeless appeal of the Bee Gees’ music.
