The Bee Gees

Sad news today as we learn of the grave illness of the beloved Bee Gee singer, Robin Gibb.

In August 2010, Robin Gibb had surgery for a blockage in his colon.

Maurice Gibb, Robin's fraternal twin, died at 53 of complications due to a twisted small intestine, which an autopsy determined was a congenital condition. 

Solo artist, Andy Gibb, brother #4 and a solo artist, died of heart faillure at the age of 30.

LONDON — Former Bee Gee Robin Gibb is in a coma after contracting pneumonia, a statement on his official website said Saturday.

The statement, which confirmed media reports that the singer was gravely ill, said "we are all hoping and praying that he will pull through."

The Press Association news agency reported that family members including wife Dwina and brother Barry were at Gibb's bedside in a London hospital.
Gibb's publicist, Doug Wright, declined to comment, but Gibb's son has acknowledged that the 62-year-old musician is seriously ill in a hospital.

The Bee Gees are a musical group which originally comprised three brothers: Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were successful for most of their 40-plus years of recording music, but they had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a pop act in the late 1960s and early 1970s and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the late 1970s.
