Robin and Barry Gibb, the two surviving members of the Bee Gees have revealed that they will perform together again "when the time is right".

Speaking to the BBC's Test Match Special, Robin said: "The two of us are getting back together again as we speak".

It's been six years since their brother Maurice died following complications from stomach surgery. Robin explained that the pair have now "got through the breakwater of emotions", adding "it's an emotional thing when you lose someone that close."
