Died today of cancer.

He was 62.

Robin Gibb, one-third of the Bee Gees, died Sunday after a long battle with cancer, his spokesperson has confirmed via a statement. Gibb was 62 years old.
"The family of Robin Gibb, of the Bee Gees, announce with great sadness that Robin passed away today following his long battle with cancer and intestinal surgery," reads the statement. "The family have asked that their privacy is respected at this very difficult time."
Two years ago, Gibb battled colon and liver cancer, but despite making what he called a "spectacular recovery," a secondary tumor recently developed, complicated by a case of pneumonia.

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

Agreed Stoney.

A weak attempt at that.
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.
