    Hitmakers: Robin was part of one of the biggest groups of all time the Bee Gees with his brother Maurice, who passed away in 2003 and Barry who is now the only surviving member of the band



    Robin Gibb has died aged 62. Legend of the Bee Gees, which he founded with his brothers Maurice and Barry. I have made known sources of his family. Gibb has lost her battle against cancer that has seen him fight for a long time. Barry, Maurice and Robin climbed the hits in the 70's with songs like Tragedy, Stayin 'Alive and Night Fever. Robin's death leaves alive only Barry, 65. His twin brother, Robin, Maurice died in 2003. The group has reached a record of over 200 million records since their inception in the '60s.

    Gibb had been operated on for colon cancer a year and a half ago when the doctors had diagnosed with bowel cancer and the liver. He returned to the public in February, Robin Gibb said to be "improvement", suggesting that treatments were having success. But since then his health has gradually deteriorated until a few weeks ago when he was in a coma with pneumonia from which, in recent days, seemed to have recovered.

    FEVER BEE GEES. Robin Gibb is gone, leaving behind an aura of legend. Together the two brothers, the eldest son Barry and his twin Maurice, with the Bee Gees with the soundtrack of Saturday Night Fever has not only signed a record of the most sensational successes of all time, but left a key document of the '70s that were abandoning the triumphs of disco music. A unique style with harmonized falsetto sound, and that it was dance, but it was hard and produced pop tunes from the unrelenting charm. It is no coincidence that the Bee Gees have long since entered into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame and to hold the opening speech was Brian Wilson, the tormented genius of the Beach Boys and Pet Sounds.

    DESTINY merciless. Despite the worldwide success, no one can say that the Gibb family has touched a destiny completely happy: Andy, the youngest who had embarked on a solo career in the midst of many personal problems died in 1988 at age 30. Maurice died in 2003 aged 53, an event that led the brothers to dissolve the band. And Robin, who was 62, he was blessed with an untimely end due to disease, colon cancer complicated by pneumonia, which last April 10, he was unable to attend the premiere of The Titanic Requiem, a score symphonic writing with his son Robin-John and recorded by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on the occasion of the centenary of the sinking of the ill-fated steamer. Robin was the lead singer of the Bee Gees, a role but was met by Barry, this falsetto and the specialist over the years has led to a solo career that was also quite intense, with some success. But nothing like what was done with the Bee Gees.

    CAREER VARIEGATA. It's curious history of the Gibbs brothers. British by birth, began to become known in Australia and have experienced tremendous success in the '60s when, back in Britain, with the help of producer Robert Stigwood, placed a series of resounding successes like New York Mining Disaster 1941, Massachusetts , which must be added to the World To Love Somebody, a song become a standard. But in the late '60s and mid '70s, the Bee Gees get bogged down in personal rivalries and lack of a safe direction until the turning point that brought them into the story, the aforementioned soundtrack of Saturday Night Fever, with sales to date are around 40 million copies.

    DIFFICULT REPETITION. Obviously such a success can also be a weapon in double shear. As the Gibb told "It's hard to go in the standings when the songs of Saturday Night Fever is at the top for years." It's a little bit what happened to the Bee Gees have had a few issues as Tragedy, went into crisis, have sold well with the soundtrack of Staying Alive, the sequel to Saturday Night Fever, have experienced ups and downs, separations and reunion. Overall, have sold over 200 million records and remain one of the most successful pop band in history. Robin Gibb runs away leaving a legacy of unmistakable sound of a model of style and a double album that is part of the long history of costume. But the impression of an artist, as did his brothers, once vanished epoch-making success is not able to find his own path.
