One of The Bee Gees brothers, Robin Gibb, has said he would be “very open” to reforming, five years after the death of his brother Maurice.

But Robin said that he would only consider bringing the famous three piece back to the stage if Barry, the band's third brother, “feels comfortable with it".

"When or where is to be decided at a time when he says yes,” Robin told the BBC.

Robin and Maurice have only made one on stage performance together since their brother died in 2003.

At the time, they said they would no longer use the band's name but Robin, who is currently promoting his solo career, said that might change.

“It's a personal thing and we'll do it when the time is right," he said. "So it's not a no, it's just emotionally when it's right."
