    Bee Gees' singer Robin Gibb dies after cancer battle

    Robin Gibb had been ill for some time
    Continue reading the main story Related Stories



    Bee Gees' singer Robin Gibb has died following a lengthy battle with cancer, his family have said.
    British-born Gibb, 62, had been battling colon and liver cancer.
    Gibb's musical career began when he formed the Bee Gees with his brothers Barry and Maurice in 1958.
    The group is among the biggest-selling groups of all time with hits spanning six decades including Stayin' Alive, How Deep Is Your Love, Massachusetts and Night Fever.
    In a statement, Gibb's family said they were announcing his death with "great sadness".
    Broadcaster Paul Gambaccini described Gibb as "one of the major figures in the history of British music".
    'Monumental accomplishments' "Everyone should be aware that the Bee Gees are second only to Lennon and McCartney as the most successful songwriting unit in British popular music," he said.
    "Their accomplishments have been monumental.
    "Not only have they written their own number one hits, but they wrote huge hit records for Barbra Streisand, Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Celine Dion, Destiny's Child, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, the list goes on and on.
    "What must also be said is Robin had one of the best white soul voices ever. He was singing lead on his first number one when he was 17, that was Massachusetts."
    'With sadness' Gibb's family said in a statement: "The family of Robin Gibb, of the Bee Gees, announce with great sadness that Robin passed away today following his long battle with cancer and intestinal surgery.
    "The family have asked that their privacy is respected at this very difficult time."
    Last month, the singer fell into a coma after contracting pneumonia but a week later he regained consciousness.
    Gibb's son Robin-John said: "They (doctors) gave him an under 10% survival chance and he has beaten the odds... he really is something else."
    The singer was diagnosed with cancer of the colon and later of the liver after having surgery on his bowel 18 months ago for an unrelated condition.
    He later underwent chemotherapy and surgery.

    I opened this thread to see if anyone had made a predictable "Stayin' alive" joke.
