Andrew Roy Gibb
(March 5th 1958 – March 10th 1988)
was an
English singer and musician.
He rose to international fame
in the late 1970s
as a
teen idol
and
pop star.
The younger brother of
Barry, Robin, and
Maurice Gibb
of
the Bee Gees,
Gibb achieved
major success
in close collaboration
with his brothers.
He was the
first solo artist
to have his
first three singles
reach number one
on the
US Billboard Hot 100.
Born in England
and raised
in Australia,
Gibb began
performing professionally
in his teens
before moving to
the United States,
where he signed with
RSO Records.
His debut album,
Flowing Rivers
(1977),
produced three
US number-one singles:
"I Just Want to Be Your Everything,"
"(Love Is) Thicker Than Water,"
and
"Shadow Dancing,"
the last of which
also topped charts
internationally
and became his
signature song.
His subsequent albums,
Shadow Dancing
(1978)
and
After Dark
(1980),
further cemented
his popularity.
In the early 1980s,
Gibb expanded into
theater and television,
starring in productions of
The Pirates of Penzance
(1981)
and
Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolor Dreamcoat
(1982),
and co-hosting
the music show
Solid Gold
(1981–82).
However,
his career was disrupted
by substance abuse
and depression,
leading to declining
commercial success.
In 1988,
just days after his
30th birthday,
Gibb died
from myocarditis,
exacerbated by
years of drug use.

William Rory Gallagher
(March 2nd 1948 – June 14th 1995)
was an
Irish musician,
singer, and songwriter.
Regarded as
"Ireland's first rock star",
he is known for his
virtuosic style of
guitar playing
and
live performances.
He has sometimes
been referred to as
"the greatest guitarist
you've never heard of".
Gallagher gained
international recognition
in the late 1960s
as the frontman
and lead guitarist
of the blues rock
power trio
Taste.
Following the band's
break-up in 1970,
he launched a
solo career
and was voted
Guitarist of the Year
by Melody Maker
magazine
in 1972.
Gallagher played over
2,000 concerts
worldwide throughout
his career,
including many in
Northern Ireland
during the Troubles.
He had global
record sales
exceeding
30 million.
During the 1980s,
Gallagher continued to tour
and record new music,
but his
popularity declined
due to shifting trends
in the music industry.
His health also
began to deteriorate,
resulting in a
liver transplant
in March 1995
at King's College Hospital
in London.
Following the operation,
he contracted a
staphylococcal infection
(MRSA)
and died
three months later
at the age of 47.
Gallagher has been
commemorated posthumously
with statues in
Ballyshannon and Belfast,
and public spaces
renamed in his memory
in Dublin,
Cork,
and Paris.
He has been commemorated
on an An Post set
of postage stamps
and a
Central Bank
of Ireland
commemorative coin.
Since 2002,
the Rory Gallagher
International
Tribute Festival
has been held
annually in
Ballyshannon.

in the world of
rock and blues

as an influence,
both for his
musicianship and character,
