"When He's Gone" is a song by the Bee Gees from their 1991 album High Civilization , released as the album's only single in North America. Due to lack of promotion from Warner Bros. to its parent album, the single failed to chart in America (although it briefly appeared on the Cashbox singles chart, peaking at number 86) but reached number 93 in Canada. [1]

Contents

Two different B-sides were issued. In the United States, the song "True Confessions" was used, which was a song that was not included on the cassette versions of High Civilization . The B-sides in the UK were live performances of "Massachusetts" and "You Win Again" done in Melbourne, Australia from their 1989 One For All Tour . [2]

Live performances

The Bee Gees made two TV appearances in May 1991 to promote the single. They appeared on Rick Dees' show Into the Night where they sang "When He's Gone" and "One" and on The Arsenio Hall Show they sang "When He's Gone" and "To Love Somebody".
