Eric Clapton makes a special appearance in a sneak peek from the upcoming Bee Gees documentary, “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart”. The highly anticipated film premieres on HBO Max on December 12, with options to watch on demand or own it on video shortly after.
In the preview, the Bee Gees reveal how they discovered their signature falsetto sound—a high-pitched vocal style that became a defining feature of their music. Barry and Maurice Gibb reflect on how their shift to a funkier sound, particularly with their 1975 hit *Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)* from the *Main Course* album, transformed their careers and catapulted them to global fame.
Clapton, reflecting on his connection to that pivotal moment, proudly remarks, “If I helped inspire that, it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done!” His words highlight how meaningful it was to play a part in the Bee Gees’ evolution.
Director Frank Marshall shared his admiration for the band, saying, “I’ve loved the Bee Gees’ music for as long as I can remember. When I first spoke with Barry nearly three years ago, I was struck by their creativity, humor, and the unbreakable bond they shared as brothers—that’s what makes their story so powerful.”
Producer Nigel Sinclair echoed those sentiments, adding, “Barry, Maurice, and Robin Gibb’s extraordinary talent touched fans across five continents for over 50 years. Their music is timeless, and we’re excited to bring their journey to the big screen. We hope this film offers joy and inspiration during challenging times.”
