He died earlier today after a long battle with cancer.

RIP

My heart goes out to his loved ones and friends...RIP and thanks for the music,

A good friend of mine was one of his backing vocalists for years and always had a good tour story or two to share about him. RIP Robin.

Peace Robin

I feel...old

Such sad news. RIP Robin!

Chuck, Donna and Robin in one week This is a terrible year for music fans over the age of 35

Agreed. Horrible year:(

R.I.P Robin, hurt no more. The Bee Gees are one of my favorite groups. Their harmony was just really something! I feel for his family especially Barry and their mom.

Rest in Peace, Robin.

Your music will live on.

What's with the happy face?

I thought someone was making a joke or something. R.I.P Robin. Too many people are being lost. Barry's now the only one left

Damn man, damn. As I said on the Donna Summer thread (or was it Chuck Brown? ) that's it really been a sucky year for music. Hands down.

So sad that their mom has now had to bury 3 of her children, death at an early age is sad, but parents burying their kids is beyond sadness, and that woman has had to deal with it 3 times now.

So true. So sad.

though it was a long illness, and maybe even expected, it isnt any easier, especially on a mother.

It's crazy! It seems like every other week,we lose another one of our legendary artists.

Barry now stands alone.

I was just about to say this--and he was the oldest brother...now his voice is the only one left. This is just too much after the sudden news of Donna passing... This has to stop for a while. Talk about feeling your own mortality... My prayers go out to Robin's family. RIP Robin Gibb, you put up an extraordinary fight.

Yeah,this has to STOP! I can't take it anymore

Yea thats the same thing I said

Im so heart broken over this. I was sure that Robin would beat this but I guess heaven has another angel now. His voice was incredible and the Bee Gees music is timeless. God rest his soul. WOW this week just continues to get worse! I have lost Three of my favs in ONE weel

R.IP.

peaceful rest Robin Gibb. thank you for your beautiful harmonies.
