What if you watched a performance without knowing it would be the very last one? For the Bee Gees, that moment came in 2010 on a popular television stage. Barry and Robin Gibb sang How Deep Is Your Love, their voices blending one final time for the world. At the time it felt like a simple duet, but today it carries the weight of a farewell.
This was not the full Bee Gees. Maurice had passed away several years earlier, leaving only Barry and Robin to carry the harmony. On this night, they were joined by two young contestants from the show. The choice of song could not have been more meaningful. How Deep Is Your Love is about devotion and lasting bonds. No one realized Robin would fall gravely ill just two years later. That makes the performance feel like a quiet goodbye to a loud and brilliant career.

Fans still return to this video with mixed emotions. Many describe the beauty of the brothers’ harmony, a blend that remained unmatched even in their later years. Some call it a gift, a final recording to treasure. Others say it feels bittersweet, a happy memory shadowed by sadness. The performance stands as both a celebration and a farewell.
The story of that night includes more than the music. In another clip from the same show, Barry and Robin sit down with the host. They speak kindly, offering advice and encouragement to the young singers they were about to share the stage with. Their warmth and humor shine through showing not only legendary musicians but also brothers and mentors. That conversation makes the performance even more poignant, giving us a glimpse of the men behind the voices.
