An unnamed co-star in Dreamcoat was quoted as saying, "I hear he spent most of his time in his hotel room in front of the TV. I guess he was frightened and insecure. That's what happens when you're the baby brother of the Bee Gees." -- Wikipedia
Perhaps it is a little glib
To write like this of Andy Gibb,
Who dulled a life of mental pain
By using mountains of cocaine.
No one, if they have their druthers,
Has such famous older brothers;
He must have had the heebie jeebies
Knowing he was NOT the Bee Gees.
Though he found his own success,
He wasn’t equal to the stress,
And after years of drugs and hurt he
Died when he was only thirty.
