Robin Gibb: He ‘Started a Joke,’ and Left Us in Tears
Did
a singer's name ever seem so prophetic and appropriate as in the case
of Robin, one of the great male songbirds of rock's golden age? Bee Gee
Robin Gibb succumbed to a longtime struggle with liver cancer Sunday, a
spokesperson confirmed. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer was 62.
His death dashed the hopes of Bee Gees fans who'd hoped that a
miracle was in store after the singer emerged from a coma late last
month. Prior to his regaining consciousness, his family had revealed
that Gibb had been given only a 10 percent chance of surviving and
seemed to be preparing the public for his imminent death. Despite the
shock fans are now experiencing, family members surely feel grateful for
the month they had with Gibb after his unexpected awakening.
