Bee Gee claims he was sexually abused on IoM

Barry speaks out in interview

Former Bee Gee Barry Gibb claims he's a victim of historical child sex abuse.

Along with brothers Maurice and Robin, he lived on St Catherine's Drive in Douglas during the 1950s before moving to Manchester.

He's now revealed in an interview with the Radio Times that a man 'tried to molest' him when he was a four-year-old living in the Isle of Man.

Barry was speaking ahead of his performance in the Legends slot at Glastonbury on Sunday.

Gibb said the man never succeeded, however, he said 'other things happened' and claimed he wasn't the only victim.

The 70-year-old wouldn't be pressed on whether the incident happened at his home, but added the man was later arrested.
