R.I.P. Robin Gibb
Robin Hugh Gibb, CBE (Deceber 22, 1949 – May 20, 2012) was a singer and songwriter who is best known as a member of the musical group the Bee Gees, which was co-founded with his twin brother Maurice and older brother Barry. Their younger brother Andy was also a 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 Kingdom where they achieved worldwide fame. In 2004, the Bee Gees received their CBEs from the Prince of Wales at Buckingham Palace for their "contribution to music". With record sales estimated in excess of 200 million units, the Bee Gees became one of the most successful pop groups of all time. After a career spanning six decades, Gibb last performed on stage in February 2012, supporting injured British servicemen and women at a charity concert at the London Palladium.
