Album Notes
On March, 10th, 1988, just five days after his 30th birthday, Andy Gibb died. He was the youngest brother of the three Bee Gees brothers. The cause of death on his death certificate was given as myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle, but it was also revealed that his system was clean of alcohol and illegal drugs when he died. What killed him became a mystery that Dr. Michael Hunter, eminent forensic pathologist, investigates using first hand testimonies and reports.
Encouraged by his family to go it alone as a solo artist, Andy had the greatest chart start in the history of the American Billboard charts, three number ones with his first three records all before his 21st birthday. But he was haunted by the fact that his brothers had written most of his songs and he was just riding on their coattails, that he didn't deserve his fame and success. He battled depression which then led to addictions to alcohol and cocaine which put incredible stress on his heart and he suffered a breakdown early in his career, collapsing during a photo shoot in Amsterdam. Despite his family's efforts he ended up bankrupt and alone on his brother's estate in England where only his mother was there to witness his final demise.
