No More Staying Alive

Or

How Deep is Your Gibb?

Or

Now He Really Doesn’t Have Anything to Add

Turns out Robin Gibb also didn’t know how to mend a broken intestine as the Bee Gee has died of cancer and complications of intestinal surgery at the age of 62. Robin was the quiet one of the Gibb brothers, whose falsetto harmonies brought them worldwide fame during the disco era with hits like Jive Talkin’ and You Should Be Dancing. Falsetto disco and gold medallions apparently increase the risk of internal damage, as Robin’s twin Maurice died of complications of a twisted intestine in 2003 and solo singing brother Andy died of heart failure in 1988. Barry Gibb is clearly living on borrowed time. With more than 200 million albums sold worldwide, 6 U.S. No. 1 singles and the signature song – Stayin’ Alive - of Saturday Night Fever, the Bee Gees helped define the disco era. Robin also helped bring the disco to the preschool set, lending guest vocals to Trash, C is for Cookie and the title track of the album Sesame Street Fever.
