The dates fit - the Mission is exactly one week later.
In making the announcement of his Australian concerts, Gibb said "as the place where we started so many years ago, we have always viewed Australia as our home, so it is only fitting that we will be kicking off our Mythology tour there".
The tickets for the Australian dates go on sale tomorrow.

Gibb appears to stack up as the hottest on the rumour list, which also features Paul Simon, Paul McCartney and Fleetwood Mac.
