At 57, global superstar Celine Dion has opened up about a chapter of her career that even some of her most devoted fans never knew — her deep admiration and heartfelt connection to the Bee Gees.
In a recent interview, Celine recalled the moment she first worked with Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb, describing it as “one of the most inspiring experiences of my life.” She spoke warmly of their generosity in the studio, their meticulous songwriting, and the way they made her feel like family despite her own awe of their legendary status.
“The Bee Gees had this magic,” Celine shared. “It wasn’t just the harmonies or the melodies — it was their heart. They wrote songs that could touch your soul in ways few artists ever could.”
She revealed that Barry Gibb, in particular, encouraged her during moments of self-doubt, telling her that her voice carried the same emotional honesty that made Bee Gees songs timeless. The brothers even shared stories of their own struggles, reminding her that vulnerability was a strength, not a weakness.
Celine admitted that her respect for the Bee Gees went far beyond music. She admired their bond as brothers, their resilience through personal tragedies, and their unwavering dedication to their craft. “They taught me,” she said, “that a true artist never stops giving from the heart, no matter how high the stage or how bright the lights.”
Her words have stirred emotions among fans, many of whom see this as a touching bridge between two generations of legendary voices. For Celine, the Bee Gees will always be more than musical icons — they will remain mentors, friends, and a source of inspiration for the rest of her life.
