Bee Gees star Robin Gibb 'requested How Deep Is Your Love for his funeral'

         
 The Bee Gees, a 1970's hit band that produced groovy number one hits 'How Deep Is Your Love' and 'Night Fever',probably two of the most well known songs in the history of 1970's music. The band consisted of twin brothers Maurice and Robin Gibb and older brother Barry. On the 12th January 2003 the band were sad to lose their first member of the band Maurice aged just 53. After his death Robin and Barry were reluctant to carry on without 'Mo' as a group and only rarely did a few concerts without him as they felt incomplete without him being there.

          

 On the 27th October 2011, Robin Gibb cancelled an appearance only minutes before hie was due to perform at the Poppy Appeal Concert in London. Later the same week however , he was seen in London and quoted as saying he felt "absolutely great". on the 20th November 2011, it was revealed that Gibb had been diagnosed with liver cancer several months earlier and on the 20th May 2012 he lost this tremendous battle, leaving just Barry Gibb as the last remaining Bee Gee. Robin Gibb was a extremely sad loss, not only did he write and perform spectacular songs along side his brothers in the 1970s he is also an inspiration to song writers all over the world as he and his brothers wrote hits for spectacular artists such as Diana Ross, Destiny's Child ,Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, the list goes on and on.  Many people took to micro blogging to pay their respects , a statement put by Song Music was ' Rest in peace.Thank you for the music'. The Bee Gees were second to Lennon and McCartney as the most successful song writers in Britain and their accomplishments have been monumental. On Robin Gibb's death bed he pulled over his son,40, and requested 'How Deep Is Your Love' to be played at his funeral as he always noted how beautiful that song was. His music will never be forgotten.
