The A Listers

At the time they started dating she was A list.

Mostly television actress on the biggest show on the air.

He was a foreign born A list singer.

He fell head over heels for her.

Prior to meeting her, he had never touched any drugs and barely even drank because he said it affected his very unique voice. She was older than him by several years and he never wanted to disappoint her or risk losing her.

To her, he was a play toy.

To him, she was the love of his life.

So, when she said you should do some coke with me, he did.

When she said you should do more, he did.

He did it to the point where he couldn’t go longer than a few hours without using coke.

It cost him multiple high profile, high paying television jobs.

It also cost him the actress who got him involved in drugs in the first place.

She had what she wanted.

A couple of years of fun, some additional fame and a chance at doing some music too.

He found a new actress girlfriend but all she did was try to keep him off coke while listening to him ramble on about how the A lister should come back and then the next day how the A lister killed him.

He was prophetic and did die and he and his family blame the former A lister to this day for his death.

The girl who Andy loved to death

At just 23, Andy Gibb had the pop world at his feet. He had had more number one hits than his older brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice of the supergroup the Bee Gees, he had $4 million in the bank and his own international hit TV series.

But more important to Andy Gibb than any of this was the fact that he had found his perfect love. By the summer of 1981 he was deeply involved with Victoria Principal, Pamela Ewing in the super-soap Dallas, and regarded as one of the world’s most beautiful women. Although she was seven years his senior, the couple were obviously madly in love and it was rumoured were all set to marry.

In August 1981 they recorded a remake of the Everly Brothers’ duet All I Have To Do Is Dream and the pop world assumed that the hit record was a prelude to a love story coming true. It wasn’t. For reasons that were never fully explained, Victoria decided that the affair was over and Andy Gibb was devastated. He threw himself into his work, and became the only singer in American chart history to have his first three singles go straight to number one. Indeed, he had ten songs in the US top 40, three of them winning platinum and gold discs. He made his debut on Broadway in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, hosted a TV series and starred in a TV comedy series.

But none of it could compensate for losing the love of his life. Friends were horrified to find that Andy had been transformed from a sunny extrovert youngster into a moody recluse never seen on the pop social circuit. It was a dramatic change for the boy who had been persuaded to become a singer by his three older brothers — and found to his surprise that he was more often in the charts than they were. It was brother Barry who came up with the tune of Andy’s first major hit, I Just Want To Be Your Everything. When it reached number one, the Bee Gees negotiated a massive contract for their baby brother. “I just can’t tell anyone just how much I owe to them,” Andy would later say. “They were never my rivals, just my constant inspiration…” – Read more here
