It seems he had a long, hard battle. He's out of pain and leaves an incredible legacy. R.I.P.

Exactly. Must have been very hard for him, and his family/friends.

but still very sad. :'(

R.I.P Robin.

And most, if not all, were sick or ill for a long time. God bless their spirits.

Robin, as many, fought a long hard battle--and he had a couple of miraculous recoveries. Robin fought long and hard for life...and I will always remember that, like some of my family members who fought the good fight, too.

Figured I'd post in the official thread since the other one was locked.

R.I.P. Robin

=================================

Rest In Peace Mr. Robin Hugh Gibb

This surprised me, because I thought he was getting better.

At least now he's not suffering anymore.

Wow...Andy, Maurice, and now Robin. I'm so sad for the Gibb family especially Barry, I can't imagine how terrible & sad he must feel...he has outlived ALL of his younger brothers/ writing partners. Too sad, my prayers go out to the Gibb family. RIP Robin

Not all. Aaliyah and Left Eye died because of someone else's carelessness. Michael too, but he was also suffering from addiction too so...

BTW Purplethunder why didn't you put the edited list I don't people thinking I forgot the godfather of soul and the walrus of love

Well that's what he's called

RIP Robin!

This is so sad. All the good ones are being taken.

RIP Robin Gibb

RIP. I know they are more than just dance artists, but I really, really enjoy that stuff. I've known Stayin' Alive for so many years, and love the SNF songs that they sang and wrote. My mom was playing some of their late 80's songs one time, and I was so surprised it was them, they sounded beautiful! I can't recall the titles, but will have to revisit them.

May Robin Gibb, Rest In Peace.

The New York Times

These guys were always an irresistible force to me.

Poor cunt. Loved his voice, always on the precipise of breaking and soaring. Shame he suffered so much in recent months. The songs will live forever and all that. x
