Robin Gibb Dies at 62

Robin Gibb: He ‘Started a Joke,’ and Left Us in Tears:
Did a singer's name ever seem so prophetic and appropriate as in the case of Robin, one of the great male songbirds of rock's golden age? Bee Gee Robin Gibb succumbed to a longtime struggle with liver cancer Sunday, a spokesperson confirmed. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer was 62.
  His death dashed the hopes of Bee Gees fans who'd hoped that a miracle was in store after the  singer emerged from a coma late last month. Prior to his regaining consciousness, his family had revealed that Gibb had been given only a 10 percent chance of surviving and seemed to be preparing the public for his imminent death. Despite the shock fans are now experiencing, family members surely feel grateful for the month they had with Gibb after his unexpected awakening.

We've lost another amazing musician... I haven't got over some of the losses from the past year or so...

All that is left is the Spicks and Specks of his life.

Another great loss in the music world. I remember growing up in the 70s and 80s and hearing their music at home, on the radio, TV appearances and in films. Robin will be surely missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

In three days, the Disco Era lost two of its stars - Donna Summer and now Robin Gibb. How sad.

The BeeGees were very popular in the late 60s but many only know them for their Disco songs.

When disco died a lot of people turned on the BeeGees, 'blaming' them for disco. As you said, they made great music before and after disco, and Barry wrote a lot a hit songs for other musicians.
