  • The revival of the Beegees (4:31)

In their prime the Bee Gees, brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb, were the white boys who ignited disco music. They were the voice of Saturday Night Fever.

When Maurice died suddenly seven years ago it marked the end of 45 years of music.

Last year Robin revealed the Bee Gees were to rise again and that includes coming back to New Zealand.

Paul Hobbs caught up with Robin Gibb in London, ahead of his November concert in New Zealand, in which he will perform with The Pointer Sisters.
