Cheese Nip 2 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 So, I didn't see a thread for this but unfortunately BeeGees co-founder Robin Gibb passed away today at the age of 62 after a long battle with cancer. http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/20/showbiz/robin-gibb-dies/index.html It's a shame, I really love his music. I was really happy when he came out of his coma, but I guess it was just his time. I don't really know what to say other than we'll always have his music. R.I.P man.

nancyk58 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 R.I.P. Robin Gibb and THANK YOU for the MUSIC (great ballads in the 1960's and great disco tunes in the 1970's). I am glad that the thread starter posted some of Bee Gees' hits from the 1960's because otherwise the media concentrate on the band's DISCO PERIOD. 2 great disco performers / names passed away this week: Robin Gibb + DONNA SUMMER.

Mark Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Extremely sad. I was brought up with his music, and his brothers and him were brilliant songwriters. He was recently in this British comedy sketch; he also lent backing vocals to the track: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAE1YyDm66A]Barry Islands in the Stream (Full Version) - Red Nose Day song 2009 - YouTube[/ame] I recently discovered this, which I found hilarious, and remembered what a fantastic song Stayin' Alive is: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV3y1aF8WdQ]Stayin' A Slinky [Full Song Version] - YouTube[/ame] And my all-time fave Bee Gees song...

James. Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I just heard about this on the news :( I was never a fan of the Beegees but I respect that he was a talented musician and influenced so many people. I'm surprised Coldplay haven't done some sort of tribute yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
