It's not official yet but the rumour's getting stronger every day in the Bee Gees fan circles and was confirmed by Graham himself in a talk with "an extremely reliable sourse". He is going to replace the great late Maurice Gibb who passed away a couple of years ago for a comeback tour and a record. Graham's an obvious choice, strange as it seems as he is Gibb's brothers cousin and their close friendly relations continue from school years. In the late 60's Gibb brothers helped Graham launch The Marbles career, producing their debut album and writting most of the material, including the hit "Only one Woman". It was then that Barry Gibb asked Graham to sing as far from the mike as possible being simply scared that the power of Bonnet's voice may damage the microphone! In the 70's Bonnet released a few Gibb composed singles as well as his 1978 disco smash "Warm Ride", recorded later by Andy Gibb. Bonnet reportedly told the source that he really has to adjust to singing in Bee Gees. "Bee Gees is a team effort vocaly and when I her someone singing nearby I usualy try to sing louder and louder. I really have to get away from that now. We are discussing the possibility to introduce some of my numbers on stage - Only one woman and Warm Ride are obvious choices but we are also talking about doin a disco versions of Lost in Hollywood and Night Games!" I guess the official statement is to come soon from the Bee Gees website. Now these are THE breaking news if I ever heard some!
