Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees Dies of Cancer at 62
Robin Gibb, one of the three singing brothers of the Bee Gees, the long-running
Anglo-Australian pop group whose chirping falsettos and hook-laden disco hits
like “Jive Talkin” and “You Should Be Dancing” shot them to worldwide fame in
the 1970s, died Sunday. He was 62.
Mr. Gibb’s family said the cause of death was cancer, which had spread from his
colon to his liver. He had been hospitalized for intestinal problems several
times in the past two years.
Mr. Gibb was the second Bee Gee and third Gibb brother to die. His fraternal
twin and fellow Bee Gee, Maurice Gibb, died of complications of a twisted
intestine in 2003 at 53. The youngest brother, Andy, who had a successful solo
career with hits like “Shadow Dancing,” was 30 when he died of heart failure in
1988.
