Sir Barry Gibb says if not for his late brothers Maurice and Robin, he would not be where he was today, adding there’s ”no question” he would have loved to have shared this special day with them.
”I hope and pray they are aware of what’s happened,” said the 71-year-old Gibb.
He says he’s still trying to get used to his new title, which he finds ”a bit surreal.”
The singer, songwriter and producer was honoured for his services to music and charity.
Maurice Gibb died in 2003 following a bowel operation and twin Robin nine years later from cancer.
