Barry Gibb performed at the concert in his honour

Stayin’ Alive: A Grammy Salute to the Music of the Bee Gees saw stars including Celine Dion, Demi Lovato, John Legend and Nick Jonas perform songs from the Bee Gees’ back catalogue alongside the last surviving Gibb brother.

Gibb closed the show, which aired on CBS on Sunday, with renditions of You Should Be Dancing and the group’s signature track Stayin’ Alive.

John Travolta, who jived through the streets of New York to Stayin’ Alive in the legendary opening scenes of Saturday Night Fever, was on hand to reprise his dance moves and posed for a photo with Gibb, whose trademark blond hairdo had hardly changed since the band’s heyday.

Saturday Night Fever was almost a very different movie; Robin Gibb, who died in 2012 after suffering complications from colorectal cancer, said in a Bee Gees biography that the band almost turned down the chance to write music for the film.
