I have just seen on tv that Robin Gibb is in a coma. I am devastated. I have been a Bee Gees fan since I first heard an E.P of them when I was 14 yrs old. 44 years. I think The Bee Gees were vocally brilliant and exceptional song writers. I think Robin Gibb has the most soulful voice I have ever hear. I am expecting cynical remarks about them but please rememeber that they have millions of people like me all around the world that love them. xxx

Well, I've managed to resist the urge so far.:

Am I right in thinking their mum is still alive? How upsetting for her if she loses a third son!

Me too Anne, I have not let myself look for an update since this morning, I really hope he pulls through but do not think it is likely.
I absolutely loved the movie Saturday Night Fever particularly if my memory serves me right I had gotten in to an 18 film and was underage!Many a happy night having a dance to the soundtrack think my fav of all time has to be How Deep is your love.
So sad especially like you said Stoop for the poor mother her third son.

You're right Stoop, She's 91 and has flown in from America to be with him.

Was sad to read this post.I too loved the Bee Gees especially Robin a very handsome man and what a voice.Their mother must be devastated.Had Robin been ill or was this due to an accident?Does anyone know?

Oops realised I'd made a mistake when I said he was a very handsome man.That of course is Barry!Robin was Maurice's twin.I did know Robin was fighting cancer.Sorry to hear he is losing his courageous battle with this horrible disease.My thoughts and sympathies go out to the family.Another musical genious being taken too soon.

I did almost say something when you said he was handsome - but then beauty is in the eye of the beholder - so I held back.

Grizabella, Barry Gibb was born in 1946 so I doubt very much that his Mother is still around.
There was a programme on T.V. about them recently, no mention of Mum.
