You are wrong to blame Victoria Principal for Andy Gibb's excessive drug use. He started getting into drugs back in 1977 and was married to his 1st wife at that time. They divorced in 1978 and she has been quoted (when asked why the marriage failed) that Andy was not the man she thought he was when they wed in 1976 and he became crazy about doing coke. This was about 4 years before Andy even met Victoria Principal for the first time on the John Davidson talk show in January 1981. Do some research because you need to get your facts straight! I think she cared enough about his welfare to insist he quit the cocaine if he wanted to stay with her. Although Barry Gibb seems to hold a grudge against her for breaking Andy's heart, I've read that he had proposed an almost identical ultimatum to his youngest brother. Shortly before his passing, Andy was invited to join the Bee Gees on recordings and on tour BUT Barry insisted that he would have to stop doing cocaine. Sadly, Andy was so hooked on the coke that when he did wean himself off of it, the damage had already been done to his heart. I think both Barry & Victoria wanted the best for Andy.
