Barry Gibb to Tour Starting in February

Barry Gibb, the only surviving member of the Bee Gees, has announced that he will begin his Mythology World Tour this coming February in Australia.

The Mythology tour will source the entire era of the Bee Gees to pay tribute to the music Barry created with his late brothers Maurice and Robin.

Gibb said he chose Australia to start the tour because “As the place where we started so many years ago, we have always viewed Australia as our home so it is only fitting that we will be kicking off our Mythology tour there.”

The Bee Gees started in the Brisbane suburb of Redcliffe.

Barry’s band will include his son Stephen, Maurice’s daughter Samantha and Beth Cohen.

The Mythology tour salutes the four-CD set that was released in November 2010 with one disc dedicated to each of the Bee Gees and their brother Andy Gibb. Warner Music will release the Mythology box set in Australia on October 5. Tickets for the tour will go on sale that same day.

Dates are:

• 02/08 - Sydney - Entertainment Centre
• 02/12 - Melbourne - Rod Laver Arena
• 02/16 - Brisbane - Entertainment Centre
