Heaven’s Disco must be cranking this week as Robin Gibb joins Donna Summer on the dance floor behind the pearly velvet rope…
I shot this portrait of the Bee Gees for Entertainment Weekly back in 1997 when they were making their comeback tour and as you can see from this photo, the lads were a lot of fun. The background of this conceptual celebrity portrait photography was a set we built in the studio after imagining they should each have a room filled with gold records. When I told them the concept, the brothers laughed and said “you know we’ll have to look into that…”
Just imagine how great that would look under a disco ball in Heaven’s Studio 54…

Great story and excellent photograph Brian. Was the set brought to them or was this shot in studio?
We built it on the studio and brought them in, Giulio. I think they would have wisely stopped us at the gate if we showed up with all of this…
