I know it was a few hours ago now, but Maurice Gibb of the Bee gees,has died of a heart attack, after surgery for an intestinal problem, he was 53.As a teenager in the 70's most of my early attempts at dancing were to the bee gees,so i'll always have fond memories of him....I think.

Oh, I hadn't heard that yet. Sad news indeed, I love the BeeGees, have since I was a kid You know they still have played live all these years and sound just as good, if not better, than they did in the 60's. Now they may never play live again, now that there is only two of them

Although I'm not personally a fan, this is a huge loss nonetheless. So young. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

I actually heard this in the early hours approx' 4AM GMT yesterday morning. He'd been gone for 30 minutes apparently. I know his closest family were there but I can't help but feel there were others that deserved to hear it before me. Seems like the media were hovering like vultures, ripping up every scrap till the end.
I too boogied and smooched to this stuff. I've got a special pal many miles away, I've heard the Bee Gees playing in the background when I talk to her. It's a sad passing of real talent in these days of talentless manafactured music.

This is really sad. I've always had time for the Bee Gees. They were going to tour Australia this year too; I read in the paper this morning how much they were looking forward to coming back home and playing

I just heard it on the news. I knew he was ill. His brother was hopeful he'd pull through. That is very sad. Very sad.
Love the Bee Gees stuff. I was influenced by the counter-tenor vocals (falsetto) and the grooves especially. Bummer. |

Yeah, tis sad!
And they were pretty cool, but I wasn't their biggest fan! At least he lived a good life, and was luckier than most! Wonder if 30 years of alcoholism and hard drugs caused this disease....

I'm not much of a fan of the Beegees, but this is still very sad news. May he rest in peace.
