(2/24/03, 3 p.m. ET) -- The Bee Gees were honored with this year's Grammy Legend Award. It was a bittersweet moment for the fraternal group, which lost brother Maurice Gibb on January 12 at age 53.
Barry Gibb and Maurice's twin Robin were on hand to accept the honor. Barry, the oldest brother and the lead singer of the group, said, "I think this is just a little bit harder than Robin and I imagined it could ever be. We know he's watching--he always watched the Grammys (chuckles)--and I think that the nicest thing, I think, that could happen is, is if his son came up and took this award that we're giving to Maurice, OK?"
Maurice's son Adam then took the stage and said, "I know how much my dad loved doing what he did, and he would have loved being here right now. I know he'd wanna thank one person, and that's my mom, because, 'cause she was his rock."
Maurice's widow Yvonne was also accompanied for the evening by their daughter Sammie.
