Maurice Ernest Gibb was born on December 22, 1949, in Douglas, Isle of Man, to Hugh Gibb, a drummer, and Barbara Gibb (née Pass). He had three younger brothers, twins Robin and Maurice, and younger brother Andy. The twins were born on September 1, 1949. Gibb’s father was of English and Scottish descent, and his mother was of Irish descent.

Gibb started his education at Tynwald Street Infants School. When the twins were seven years old, they moved to Manchester, England, with their family. The Gibb family lived in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester, and the twins attended Parrswood High School in Didsbury.

In 1966, at the age of 16, Gibb formed the Bee Gees with his brothers Robin and Maurice. The Bee Gees became one of the most successful pop groups of all time. They released their first album, “The Bee Gees Sing and Play 14 Barry Gibb Songs”, in 1967. The album was not a success, but the Bee Gees’ second album, “Bee Gees’ 1st”, released in 1967, was a huge success. It reached number one in the UK and Australia.

The Bee Gees had many hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s, including “Stayin’ Alive”, “Night Fever”, “More Than a Woman”, “Tragedy”, and “You Win Again”. In 2001, Maurice Gibb was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame with his brothers Robin and Barry.

On January 12, 2003, Maurice Gibb died of a heart attack at the age of 53. He was survived by his wife, Yvonne Gibb (née Spenceley), and their three children: Adam, Samantha, and Michael.
