"Bye, Bye, Love” -- No happy ending for “Cathy’s Clown” hit makers PHIL & DON EVERLY.
ONSTAGE, the Everly Brothers harmonized beautifully, but behind the scenes they despised each other so intensely that they wouldn’t even share a dressing room.
Hiding their bitterness from fans, the pioneering rock duo feuded right up until younger brother Phil died at age 74 on Jan. 3 from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
“Don should have been by Phil’s side when he passed,” said a close industry source. “But the truth is, the Everly Brothers were out of tune with one another – they really hated each other’s guts!”
The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers refused to do joint interviews and posed for photos together only by appointment.
