The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart is set to document the extraordinary success of one of the biggest groups in pop music history.
The trio, consisting of brothers Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb, have penned more than 1,000 songs, created 20 number one hits and sold more than 220 million records to date.
They are responsible for massive hits including their own tunes Stayin’ Alive, Night Fever and Tragedy, along with classics like Diana Ross’ Chain Reaction and Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton’s Islands In The Stream.
How Can You Mend A Broken Heart will chronicle The Bee Gees’ evolution over the years and includes contemporary interviews with Barry Gibb, Eric Clapton, Mark Ronson, Noel Gallagher, Lulu, Nick Jonas, Chris Martin and Justin Timberlake.
Directed by Frank Marshall, the new film promises an intimate look at the musicians’ lives and careers, with the filmmaker admitting he’s “loved the Bee Gees’ music all my life”.
“But It wasn’t until I did my first interview with Barry, almost 3 years ago, that I began to discover their uncanny creative instincts, their musical gifts, their humor, and the brotherhood and family that made them so unique,” he adds.
“It’s been such an honour to be involved in this movie and celebrate the massive impact the Bee Gees have had on popular music.”
The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart will premiere on Sky Documentaries on December 13th, and will be available on DVD and digitally from December 14th.
