Rip Robin Gibb :(

[Dpantherman]

Robin Gibb has died at the age of 62.

Here is the announcement posted on his website:

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. The family have asked that their privacy is respected at this very difficult time.

The Bee Gees singer had advanced colorectal cancer and slipped into a coma in April after contracting pneumonia. He woke from that coma within days, surprising his doctors. At the time, spokesman Doug Wright said Gibb was able to nod and communicate with his family.

Some jackass on my FB, put the staying alive song and said, "I don't even have to point out the irony." Freaking jackass..

I'm sure he lived a pleasant life. 62 years and most of them rich. You really can't ask for anymore than that.

His wiki says he was a vegan and teetotaler. Cancer doesn't care if you are responsible or not with your health.

Adam Yauch was also a vegan.

A sad day indeed. He will be missed.

Wow Robin and Maurice sure got the poo end of the stick in one way - not only were they pretty unattractive guys, their brother Barry looked like a rock god, and outlived them both. Oh well being a rich pop star cures all ills.

I always liked the BeeGees and am one of those people who felt that got mislabeled as disco guys - they had a long successful career before SNF, which was really just another job for them that turned into a monster.
