A MUSICIAN has claimed he is the secret love child of Bee Gees member Maurice Gibb and is begging the only surviving brother Barry Gibb to help confirm they are related.

Nick Endacott has said his aunt dropped the bombshell that he might be related to one of the world’s most famous musical families, The Sun reports.

The 49-year-old has alleged that as a baby he was adopted after being given away by his mum Patti Nolder who was associated with some of the biggest names in pop music in the sixties, the Sunday People has reported.

Mr Endacott has also claimed that Maurice Gibb’s widow, Yvonne, initially said she would be happy for a DNA test to be carried out but has since withdrew permission. He said he was “gobsmacked” when he was told.

He said: “It was the last thing I expected. I just want to know the truth — and know who I am. I know people will think I’m doing this for money or some claim to the Gibb estate, but I’m not.”

Mr Endacott also said he has a “right to know” who his dad is. He said he has written three letters to Barry Gibb, begging for help as he is the only living brother.

Maurice Gibb died in 2003 due to complications of a twisted intestine. His twin, Robin Gibb, died in 2012 from liver and kidney failure.

Mr Endacott is also concerned about his health and believes he has a right to know if he is Maurice Gibb’s son in case he suffers similar genetic health complications.
