Although their musical career began in Australia, The Bee Gees found fame in both the US and the UK. Their first single, New York Mining Disaster 1941, peaked just shy of the top 10 in the UK, and their next single, To Love Somebody was just as big in the US.
Throughout their career the Bee Gees would go on to have several more hits, but would also suffer great personal tragedy. Just going to show all that glitters is not gold, and fame is not always a happy ending
