Barry - 5'11-5'11.5
Maurice - 5'7-5'7.5
Robin - 5'9-5'9.25
Andy - 5'6-5'6.25
It'd be interesting to know how tall their parents were!
Barry - 5'11-5'11.5
Maurice - 5'7-5'7.5
Robin - 5'9-5'9.25

I was playing the best of the Bee Gees this morning when the track ‘Run To Me’ came on.
My brother said, “Do you remember when this was from?”
I replied, “Late sixties/early seventies?”
My bruv came out with, “August ‘72!”
Well I never! I had just left my junior school, and learning French verbs at the advice of my mother!
Alice Cooper’s ‘School’s Out’ was in the charts when I left my school…
Most appropriate!
Big Barry gets 5ft11.5.

I wonder how tall the twins, Maurice and Robin, were……🤔
They looked much the same height.

Editor RobMaurice could seem taller than Robin, 3-3.5 inches shorter than Barry?

I saw another programme on Sky Arts just over a week ago and it ended with Barry saying, “If I could have my brothers back and there have been no songs, I would.”
This rather deep statement culminated in my buying a CD with 21 of their hits on it. I HAD to have the old 60s/early 70s tracks, which I remember so well. I’m no fan of disco, but the Bee Gees did it better than most.
The CD came today!
5ft11.25 for Barry 🎼🎶
Andy XX 🕯 Robin XX 🕯 Maurice XX 🕯 RIP Boys.

I’m watching a programme on Sky Arts about the Bee Gees, hoping I can sing along to Massachusetts, which I’ve just been able to do, of course! The first song of theirs to enter my collection was Run To Me, and it’s quite beautiful. I wasn’t old enough to head for the shops yet, so my Dad would buy us discs with loads of songs on them.
Barry in this stage of the programme, is getting hairy, so the mid/late 70s must be approaching. Interestingly, Robert Stigwood took the brothers under his wing. Robert’s name was on my Tommy (by The Who) poster, which I acquired from Bromley Odeon and which adorned my bedroom wall for years.
Oh, nice one! It’s Nights On Broadway, another of my favourites, so I’ll give Barry 5ft11.25 and sing my ❤️ out....

Barry could have passed for 6 ft peak I thought, but then he was quite a bit taller (and much better looking) than his brothers and wore big heels in the day. I'm listening to their early stuff at the moment. Very good, strong Beatles influence.

I came across the heights of Barry's two Bee Gee brothers, having found them out in a most unusual way indeed! I was looking for the height of DJ Alan Freeman, but discovered instead that Robin released a disc called 'Alan Freeman Days' upon the infamous Australian DJ's passing, back in 2006.
Twins Robin and Maurice always made Barry look outstandingly tall, and when I first saw that he was only 5ft11, I was little short of gobsmacked! I'd have expected to find about 6ft1. Well, Robin was 175cm and Maurice 173cm. Those few inch differences show just how much that chunk of height can look.

Barry looks pretty tall when he was young. He definitely lost a few cm in the meantime.
On the linked picture you can compare Barry Gibb with Lionel Richie who is also listed as 180 cm. Lionel looks about 5 cm (2 inches) taller than Barry. The footwear could be roughly the same.

I would say:
Peak: 181 cm (5'11.25")
Now: 178 cm (5'10")

There was an easy peasy question on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?' tonight.
It was as follows:-
On which island were the Bee Gees born?
The options were Tasmania, The Isle of Wight, The Isle of Man or Hawaii.
It was, of course, The Isle of Man, easy enough for somebody of my generation. 🎶
What beat me is that the reward for knowing this was £125,000! The lady contestant was older than me too, but she wasn't sure, so she left with the money. I always think of a tailless cat when I think of the Isle of Man! 🐈

Looks 5'11.5" in his prime. Around 5'10" now. Towered above his brothers, which caused him to mostly hunch & Maurice wear lifts when singing together.

So 181 cm in his prime may be fine. In 1989, Barry looked only 2 inches shorter than Jeremy Irons: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
Their footwear could have been similar: Click Here Click Here
Even if Barry had slightly thicker shoes, it still seems 2.5 inches between them seems a bit too much. Here are photos of Barry from 1997 alongside John Travolta and Kelly Preston, Barry even when he was 51 still looked no more than an inch shorter than Travolta: Click Here Click Here Click Here
In the '70s, Barry looked 5 inches taller than Andy Gibb. Here are their photos together from 1979: Click Here Click Here
And others from 1978: Click Here Click Here

Barry didn't look 7 cm shorter than Dalton, besides Rob remember you met Camille in person. In the '70s,' 80s and '90s, Barry looked like a good 181 cm guy. Could you give him 5'11.25" as peak height?

Watching Bee Gees classic music video i would have thought Barry was a legit 6'0 or 6'1 guy. It shock me that he is only 5'11. I'm thinking he might be 5'11 1/2 when he was young.

🎂🎁🎉 Happy Birthday Barry! 🎉🎁🎂
Barry the 'Big Bee Gee' turns 73 today. To think - he'll only have been 20/21 when they had their first hit, which I believe to be 'Massachusetts' in 1967, and I remember dancing to it in my own inimitable way, which didn't do it justice as it was a beautiful song!
Have a great day, Barry. 😉👍🎈

Rob, I think you should give Barry a peak height of 5'11.25" (181 cm) and a current height of 5'10.5" (179 cm). Look at him next to Timothy Dalton: Click Here
Look at his newer photos from Olivia Newton John: Click Here
Anyway, I think you could also add Barry to the pop singers section:

Born in 1955, I have been doing a lot of looking back on memories, especially of our music and the bands. Barry is and was an amazingly handsome man and his wife and he certainly seem to be perfect for each other. And five children. Reading up on all his family losses had to have been heart breaking. Suffering from depression, being able to go back and read and listen to The Bee Gees music has helped me start back uphill. I hope Barry stays healthy to the end. Such a wonderful guy.

In my opinion Barry was 5'11.25" at his peak height and a has a current height of about 5'10.50". Robbin was probably 5'08.50-5'09". Maurice was 5'06.50"-5'07.25". They were always wearing those crazy heels and platform shoes so it was hard to tell how tall they were.

@ Linda Zimmerman Black - I hope that Barry gets round to reading that sweet letter of yours some day!
It will make him very happy!
I will go for 5ft11 for Barry, though I must say, I thought that in the Bee Gee's early days, he was a full 6ft.
It's tragic to think that he is the only one left of such a memorable and iconic band. I would like to go along with Linda in wishing Barry, his wife and his children many more sunny years of happiness together!

I wish I knew how to submit photos on this site. There is a photo of Gibb with Anthony Edwards (6'2") and Timothy Dalton (6'1 1/2'), and they all seem to be about the same height. Although I have noticed that Barry Gibb seem to be a little fragile and or a little shorter which I believe was due to knee injuries and back surgeries

5'11" or less now that he's older. Barry Gibb was towering Maurice and Robin both at least in music videos specifically "How Deep Is Your Love?" and "Staying Alive." So he was most likely at least 6 feet or even a little over as his peak height back in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

The boots he wore at times put him up at the 6' 1" range. Also pointing out he was a early bloomer when it came to height he however stopped growing quite early around 16/17

I believe he was around 6' in the 1970's, but since we all get shorter as we age & he is 67yrs going on 68yrs, (Sept 1, 2014), I think he could be between 5' 10" - 5' 11". When I see him I will ask him.

I've stood beside him on maybe three or four occasions and I would have said he's comfortably 6'1". He's aged badly and his posture is poor so he may look smaller now but in the mid 80s to early 90s he was certainly taller than 5'9.5".

Shane's never 5"9.5! I met him in a pub and he towered over me (5"10). I'd say he's at least 6"1...although his posture is rubbish so that may take away from it a lot.
Shane's never 5"9.5! I met him in a pub and he towered over me (5"10). I'd say he's at least 6"1...although his posture is rubbish so that may take away from it a lot.

Saw him in a Glasgow pub last year and was surprised how small he was. He looks smaller than 5ft 9.5 in. But his posture is really bad as he is usually very drunk.
