Robin Gibb, one-third of the Bee Gees, died Sunday after a long
battle with cancer, his spokesperson has confirmed via a statement. Gibb
was 62 years old.
"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," reads the statement. "The family have
asked that their privacy is respected at this very difficult time."
Two years ago, Gibb battled colon and liver cancer, but despite
making what he called a "spectacular recovery," a secondary tumor
recently developed, complicated by a case of pneumonia.
