LONDON (Reuters) - Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb,
who with brothers Barry and Maurice helped define the disco era with
their falsetto harmonies and funky beats on hits like "Stayin' Alive"
and "Jive Talkin'", has died after a long fight with cancer. He was 62.
The singer had colon and liver cancer and, despite
brief improvements in his health in recent months, passed away on Sunday
evening.
Gibb died at the London Clinic surrounded by his second wife Dwina, sons Spencer and Robin-John and daughter Melissa. Officials at the clinic declined to comment on Monday.
Barry, now the last surviving member of the Bee Gees,
had been in Britain in recent weeks to see his ailing brother, but was
in the United States when he died.
Funeral arrangements are expected to be announced later this week, a spokesman said.
