Robin Hugh Gibb

 Robin Hugh Gibb CBE (December 22, 1949 – May 20, 2012)

Gibb was an English singer, songwriter and record producer, who gained worldwide fame as a member of the pop group the Bee Gees with fraternal twin brother Maurice. Their younger brother Andy was also a singer. Robin Gibb also had his own successful solo career. With record sales estimated in excess of 200 million units, the Bee Gees became one of the most successful pop groups of all time. From 2008 to 2011, Gibb was President of the Heritage Foundation, honoring figures in British culture. After a career spanning six decades, Gibb last performed on stage in February 2012 supporting injured British servicemen at a charity concert at the London Palladium. In 2002, the Bee Gees were appointed as CBEs for their "contribution to music". Robin and his brother Barry Gibb had famously clashed personally and professionally for decades before his death, and that conflict lasted to the end. Nonetheless, Barry delivered a eulogy at his brother's funeral saying: "Even right up to the end we found conflict with each other, which now means nothing. It just means nothing. If there's conflict in your lives – get rid of it." Gibb was married twice, and had four children. In 2012, Gibb died at the age of 62 from liver and kidney failure brought on by colorectal cancer. He is interred at Saint Mary The Virgin Churchyard in Thame, Oxfordshire, England.
