Robin Gibb biography

Robin Hugh Gibb, CBE (22 December 1949 – 20 May 2012) was an English singer, songwriter and record producer. He is best known as a member of the Bee Gees, formed with his brothers Barry and Maurice Gibb. Their younger brother Andy was also a singer. Gibb joined his first band the Rattlesnakes which formed in Manchester, England. Gibb was born on the Isle of Man to English parents, Hugh and Barbara Gibb; the family later moved to Manchester (where Andy was born) before settling in Redcliffe, a suburb of Brisbane, Australia. Gibb began his career as part of the family trio (Barry-Maurice-Robin). When the group found their first success, they returned to England where they achieved worldwide fame. In 2002, the Bee Gees were appointed as CBEs for their "contribution to music".[11] however investiture was delayed until 2004. With record sales estimated in excess of 200 million units, the Bee Gees became one of the most successful pop groups of all time.[12] 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".[13] 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.[14] On 20 May 2012, Gibb died at the age of 62 from liver and kidney failure brought on by colorectal cancer.[15] As an instrumentalist, he primarily played a variety of keyboards, such as piano, organ and Mellotron on Bee Gees albums Bee Gees' 1st (1967)[16] and Odessa, he also played guitar on his debut solo album Robin's Reign (1970), as well as the scene in Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
