A statue of the Bee Gees on the seafront on the Isle of Man will begin as soon as lockdown ends , the leader of Douglas Council has said.
The project, which is expected to cost £150,000, has been delayed by the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
David Christian said the 7ft (2m) design by Andrew Edwards would be a major focal point in the island s capital.
The structure will be put up on Loch Promenade in the town.
Brothers Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb were born on the Isle of Man before in the late 1940s, before the family moved to Manchester.
