MIAMI, Fla. — Barry Gibb, the lone surviving member of the iconic rock-disco group the Bee Gees, recently was spotted in attendance of a Miami-area charity fundraiser.

Since the recent deaths of his two brothers, Robin and Maurice Gibb, who rounded out the group, Barry Gibb performs infrequently — and as a solo act. 

Gibb crossed paths at the fundraiser with Steven Chase, a fellow lifetime musician who lives in Miami and Boone, N.C., and they exchanged greetings, Chase said. Chase and his band performed at Gibb’s last wedding.

Chase also visits Asheville, N.C., as often as he can — and is a frequent letter-writer to the Asheville Daily Planet.
