Robin Gibb died aged 62 after a lengthy battle with colorectal cancer, on Sunday 20th May 2012. One month prior to his death, he caught pneumonia and entered a coma, though he regained consciousness after a week. On the night of his death a statement was released to the world, saying "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."

Upon the announcement, music historian Paul Gambaccini described Gibb as "one of the major figures in the history of British music" and "one of the best white soul voices ever", while he noted that the Bee Gees were "second only to Lennon and McCartney as the most successful songwriting unit in British popular music".

Robin's death left his brother, Barry, as the final surviving member of the original Bee Gees trio.

R.I.P Robin
