Shortly before being tried for assault on minors, Michael Jackson secretly moved in with one of the three brothers who made up the Bee Gees.
More than ten years after the death of Michael Jackson, his life continues to fascinate. And if we thought we knew everything about the king of pop, it is far from the case. A former Bee Gees made an amazing revelation: in the early 2000s, the Thriller performer moved in with him. At the time, Michael Jackson still owned his huge Neverland ranch but had preferred to move into Barry Gibb, at Miami. If initially the singer was a regular visitor, he ended up settling his bags in Florida, as reported The Express. “He would come to Miami and stay in our house, explained the legend of the disco in the columns of Sun, in 2014. He would sit in the kitchen and watch the fans in front of his hotel on TV, he would laugh. He lived upstairs for quite a while. “ When he moved into Barry Gibb, Michael Jackson was preparing his trial for assault on minors.
“It was just before his trial for child abuse. But we never discussed the case.”, continued the ex-Bee Gees. Together, the two men spent entire evenings drinking alcohol. “We would just sit and write and get drunk, he confided. Michael loved wine – there were a few nights he would just sleep on the floor. “ In 2009 after the announcement of the death of Michael Jackson, Barry Gibb said he was totally “devastated” : “We not only lost a great friend in Michael, but also a wonderful, sensitive human being”. In an interview with The Roxborogh Report, he remembered their long friendship but also their musical collaboration: “Most of the time in Miami he had a hotel room, but he wasn’t there. So everyone thought he would be there and we would have fun watching them wait.”.
Barry Gibb: “I’ve never seen an unhappy Michael”
“The Michael that I saw, that I knew was happy, joyful … I never saw a dark side of Michael, continue Barry Gibb, when asked about the charges against the King of Pop. I never saw an unhappy Michael. He was swimming with the kids, he was water skiing and it was a very, very natural situation. Just a natural situation and he would have a good time. “ The two men have worked together several times. “We turned to the same kind of music and we loved collaborating and it was easy to work with him, Barry Gibb assured. The more we got to know each other, the more these ideas became intertwined. “
