    A simple Robin Gibb RIP would've worked better than the cutesy title attempt.

    Agreed Stoney.

    A weak attempt at that.

    Can't say that I'm a Bee Gees fan, but I recognize the contribution.

    RIP

    I totally agree. WTF was that about? How about showing both some class and respect!
    Rest In Power Robin Gibb.

    I'm a lifelong Bee Gees fan. I'm not ashamed to say I have always loved Disco and the Bee Gees (my kids do give me funny looks as does my wife)!! Saturday Night Fever was an earth-shattering cultural event (at least for someone who was too young for the Summer of Love and Woodstock) and the Bee Gees were in the middle of it.

    62 is way too young Robin Gibb. I had such hope when he awoke from his coma and now it all ended so suddenly. Tragic endings for this family, Andy, Maurice, now Robin. (I hope Barry is to music what Vigoda is to TV.)

    Brothers plural: Andy and Maurice both predecease him.
