Robin Gibb, from Bee Gees, Dies from Cancer
Robin Gibb was a British singer and songwriter from the musical group Bee Gee and has passed away. Gibb was one of the brother from the pop group and was 62. A statement from the family stated “passed away today following his long battle with cancer and intestinal surgery.” He died in England. He and two of his brothers made up the Bee Gees, which sold over 200 million albums. Their hits include “Night Fever,” “Staying Alive” and “How Deep Is Your Love”. With Robin’s death, Barry became the last surviving Gibb brother.
British Singer Robin Gibb is in a Coma
A tragedy for the Gibb family striked when Bee Gees star Robin Gibb, 62, was diagnosed with colon and liver cancer. Now, he is in a coma and has pneumonia. Gibb had bowel surgery in 2010, his rep stated. His brother Maurice died in 2003 of a twisted bowel; his brother Andy died of a heart infection. The Brothers Gibb — calling themselves the Bee Gees — soared to renown as one of the most successful British groups after the 1977 film “Saturday Night Fever” starring John Travolta was built around the group’s disco songs. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, the Bee Gees have sold more than 200 million albums, and their soundtrack album to “Saturday Night Fever” was the top-selling album until Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” claimed that distinction in the 1980s.
