Alan Kendall

Alan Kendall

Alan Kendall was the lead guitarist for the popular band, the Bee Gees, before they retired the band name due to the death of Maurice Gibb in 2003. With the Bee Gees, Kendall appeared on The Tonight Show, Late Night with David Letterman, Oprah Winfrey, a Command Performance for the Queen of England, as well as numerous other live performances.

Having previously played for the bluesy progressive rock band Toe Fat, Kendall joined the Bee Gees in 1971, when the band was looking for a new guitarist to replace Vince Melouney. Though several albums were released by the Brothers Gibb after Kendall joined it, their major success came with the release of the Saturday Night Fever album, and as Kendall had been a core part for this success, he was rewarded with full shares in the group's earnings (rather than being paid a salary).Fact|date=February 2007

As a musician, Kendall prefers the Fender Stratocaster, and can be seen in several live performances with this type of guitar.
