菁英站前校世界新聞專欄 巨星殞落傳奇樂團Bee Gees主唱Robin Gibb病逝

Robin Gibb, one of three brothers who made up the group the Bee Gees behind "Saturday Night Fever" and other now-iconic sounds from the 1970s, died on Sunday, according to a statement on his website.

He was 62.

Gibb "passed away today following his long battle with cancer and intestinal surgery," said the statement, which was attributed to his family. He died in England at 10:47 a.m. (5:47 a.m. ET), according to a post on his official Twitter feed.

News of his death set off a torrent of reaction in social media. Musician Bryan Adams, for instance, lamented "another great singer dying too young" on Twitter, while fellow British band Duran Duran and current pop sensation Bruno Mars were among many who posted their condolences.

"The Bee Gees were/are the gold standard when it comes to pop/r&b melody, harmony and vocal arrangement. Massive loss," wrote prolific pop songwriter Claude Kelly on his Twitter feed.

Queen's Brian May lauded Gibb and his "amazing voice, so distinctive and expressive" in a statement on his website.

"For me, the music of the Bee Gees really has peaks as high as any mountain ever climbed by a Pop/Rock group," May said. "The Bee Gees will never be forgotten."

當年愛聽西洋歌曲的四五年級生，對老牌合唱團「比吉斯」一定念念不忘，它的成員先後凋零，主唱之一羅賓吉布，20號因為癌症病逝在英國倫敦，享年62歲。

聽到Bee Gees合唱團歌聲，想必勾起許多人年輕的回憶。

Bee Gees獨特的合聲已成絕響，主唱之一羅賓吉布20號不幸病逝。

他兩年前診斷出大腸癌跟肝癌，從此展開長期抗癌努力，今年4月羅賓感染肺炎昏迷，住進倫敦西區的醫院，12天之後醒來，但病情沒有好轉，20號病逝，享年62歲。

比吉斯合唱團是由澳大利亞的吉布三兄弟組成，他們將搖滾、迪斯可和節奏藍調融為一體，1970和80年代風靡全球。

但之後成員先後辭世，莫里斯吉布2003年1月在美國邁阿密病逝。

而吉布兄弟檔中最早單飛的么弟安迪，1988年3月因酗酒引發心臟病死亡﹐當時才30歲。

如今羅賓吉布也因病去世，Bee Gees合唱團招牌的假音合聲，只能永遠留在歌迷心中。
