Christine and the Queens Covers Bee Gees' “Stayin' Alive”
French singer-songwriter Christine and the Queens released a cover of the Bee Gees' “Stayin' Alive” as “Stayin' Alive! (Chris Version)” on December 29, 2023.
The original version of the song was released by the Bee Gees as the second single from “Saturday Night Fever” soundtrack in 1977.
The song reached No. 1 on US Billboard Hot 100 and No. 4 on the UK Singles chart. Also, the song won Best Arrangement For Voices at the Grammy Awards in 1979.
The track was written by Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb, and Maurice Gibb. The cover version was produced by Chris and Damien Quintard.
The accompanying music video was directed by Chris, who filmed in Venice.
Christine and the Queens first performed the song during his live show in Cannes in May 2023.- “Art heals! Brings us all together again and again! Art is the experience of humanity, the joyful boat of the imagination, the fireside where we reinvent together - childhood,” Christine and the Queens said in an accompanying statement. “My masters use art as a magical refuge and I, in turn, take them along masked, free of themselves into the sovereign realm of their own dreams. Made in a few days, in an emergency with fabulous friends, generous strangers, the inhabitants of Venice the beautiful, this is our fond farewell to 2023.”
