El anuncio fue publicado de manera oficial en el sitio del músico y dice lo siguiente: "La familia de Robin Gibb, de Bee Gees, anuncia con gran tristeza que Robin falleció este domingo a las 10:46 pm, luego de una larga batalla contra el cáncer y una cirugía intestinal. Ellos [...]
It really feels like disco has died. The tragic news of Donna Summers last week coupled with the latest passing of Robin Gibb has solidified the final straw that disco is dead. Many people are quick to pass judgement on a genre of music that blended dance, soul and a lifestyle that many tried to emulate during a time that was filled with unemployment, war and wait a minute, doesn't seem like much as changed in the last couple of decades. SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER FOR LIFE! Mick Jagger breathed some new life into SNL as [...]
Los Angeles Times (MCT) -- LOS ANGELES - Their hits could fill an entire Saturday night, last until the first church bell rang on Sunday morning and provide a sweat-drenched workout on the dance floor that broke only for the slow numbers. Even more remarkable was that each classic gem of the Bee Gees, whose co-founder Robin Gibb died Sunday after a long battle with cancer, would be packed with feeling. There's "Jive Talkin'," the group's frenetic ode to a...
Robin Hugh Gibb , CBE (22 December 1949 – 20 May 2012) was a British singer and songwriter. He is best known as a member of the Bee Gees, co-founded with his twin brother Maurice and older brother Barry. He had another younger brother, Andy Gibb, who was also a very popular solo singer. Born in the Isle of Man to English parents, the family later moved to Manchester before settling in Brisbane, Australia. Gibb began his career as part of the family trio and when the group found their first success they returned to the United [...]
Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees has died from cancer . He was 62 . Robin and his brothers Barry and Maurice Gibb racked up dozens of hit songs in their five decade career. Robin Gibb, who had cancer, was 62. The Bee Gees might be forever linked to the 1970s, the era of polyester outfits and blow-dried hair, thanks to the songs they wrote and performed for the movie Saturday Night Fever. Disco, however, didn't make the Bee Gees. Their vocal harmonies and songwriting skills were hugely popular [...]
there must be a massive disco in heaven... see you there Robin
Robin Gibb's fragile voice was one of Bee Gees' many gifts by: Iain Shedden, Music writer From: The Australian May 21, 2012 2:08PM He was a great songwriter as well, with and without his brothers, but their greatest attribute collectively and separately was being able to reinvent themselves. Even as children, there was never any [...]
It has just been reported that former Bees Gees member Robin Gibb has died. Gibb had been diagnosed with liver cancer in 2011 and is thought to have lost his battle with the disease. As well as having a successful solo career of his own right, he is mostly known for his part in The Bee Gees. The group were one of the most notable bands of the disco era, with Gibb alongside brothers Barry and Maurice. He passed away in London on Sunday (20 May), leaving behind a wife and four children. [...]
It's been expected for a while, but it doesn't make it any less sad: Robin Gibb has died from his cancer. Although they allowed themselves to slide towards easy parody, you can't ignore that the Bee Gees were as pivotal to music in the late 70s as The Sex Pistols were. Neither created their genre; neither moved it along creatively, but just as the Pistols created a High Street version of punk that made a saleable product, the Bee Gees Saturday Night Fever soundtrack took the potentially incendiary sound of disco and made it fit into [...]
Another one of the BEE GEES has passed away. The ROBIN GIBB, aged 62, has died following a lengthy battle with colon and liver cancer. So sad. At least he's not suffering now. But still, cancer, so sad.
God hates disco apparently as another 70s icon, Robin Gibb of The Bee Gees , hustles his way into the great nightclub in the sky. While I can't say I was ever a big Bee Gees fan, they were however the indelible soundtrack of my youth, whether I listened or not. When the one-two punch of both Saturday Night Fever and Grease hit the theatres there was nary a grocery store, resaurant, dentist office, bad parental party or AM radio that didn't succumb to the falsetto sounds of the chesty, satin wrapped trio. [...]
I've already paid fitting tribute to the late Donna Summer and Robin Gibb , who died on May 20 at age 62 in London after battling colon and liver cancer for much of the past year. So what can I say now that hasn't already been said, and that won't be said in the coming days and weeks and months of eulogies for the two disco-era icons? Instead I'll leave you with what could possibly be the only existing film of Summer and Gibb together onstage (along with Gibb's brothers, Barry, the sole surviving [...]
Click here to view the video on YouTube. Bee Gees member Robin Gibb lost his battle with cancer Sunday at the age of 62. Yeah I was never a disco dude as a boy, but I later appreciated The Bee Gees and what they did accomplish. Like another recently deceased member of the disco era, Donna Summer, the Bee Gees are often remembered as the leaders of a musical "fad" and not great musicians. Its so not true. They were prolific songwriters with harmonies that rivaled The Beach Boys. Even in my "disco hater" [...]
MUSIC NEWS - Bee Gees' singer Robin Gibb has died at age 62 on Sunday after a lengthy battle with cancer, his family said. The announcement they said, was made with "great sadness". British-born Gibb's music career began when he started the Bee Gees with his brothers Barry and Maurice back in 1958, but it was their soundtrack album to the 1977 movie " Saturday Night Fever " that sealed their success. The album's signature sound; some called it "blue-eyed soul", still remains instantly recognizable over 40 years after its release. [...]
Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb has died following a lengthy battle with cancer.
Triste epilogo per Robin Gibb dopo i problemi di salute che lo hanno afflitto negli ultimi mesi. Purtroppo non ce l'ha fatta uno dei fondatori dei Bee Gees, morto a 62 anni dopo una lunga battaglia con un cancro al colon e uno al fegato . Diciotto mesi fa gli erano stati diagnosticati i mali. A febbraio le condizioni di salute sembravano migliorate, poi recentemente era finito in coma ma era riuscito ad uscirne, riaccendendo la speranza dei famigliari e dei suoi fan. Purtroppo, però, alla fine il suo corpo non ha retto. Vogliamo ricordarlo [...]
