Bee Gees star Robin Gibb sang about Stayin’ Alive, but will tell his life story from beyond the grave.
Robin recorded hours of material for an autobiography on micro cassette tapes before he died, aged 62, in 2012.
Now his widow Dwina is using the tapes to write the book for Robin, who had a hit with the Night Fever in 1977.
She said: “I’ve listened to hours of tapes of Robin’s voice – it has been strangely comforting.
“There will be anecdotes, there will be revelations, after all he had a very tough childhood and he worked with them all.”
Speaking at the launch of TV director Rosemary Reed’s new Sky show, The Power of Women, at London members’ club The Ned, 66-year-old Dwina said: “I’m quarter of the way through.
“I already have an agent. I can’t say what’s on the tapes, as that would spoil it, but it’s going to be good."
But there will be one taboo subject. In his last eight years, Robin had an affair with their housekeeper, Claire Yang, which produced a child, Snow, now aged 11.
Robin left most of his £25.8million estate to Dwina, who was his second wife.
Claire was left a £800,000 house.
Meanwhile it's been reported that the Bee Gees’ lives are set to be turned into a Hollywood film.
Movie bosses including Steven Spielberg and Richard Curtis have already tried and failed to make a biopic about the three brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb.
But Dwina said: “Our film is in the bag. We want to get the right writers. We are in discussions.
"We have to get agreements from the three families – Barry, Yvonne (Maurice’s widow) and myself. It’ll be interesting.”
The film is expected to chart their rise from child performers in the 1950s, to a Beatles-inspired pop trio in the 1960s and disco kings in the 1970s.
