Reports are circulating that one of the 2 surviving Bee Gees, Robin Gibb<\/strong>\u2014he of the most vibrato-laden voice in that trio\u2014doesn’t have long to live<\/a>. If, as expected, 3 of the 4 Gibb brothers will be dead at a young age, this puts the Bee Gees in contention with Lynyrd Skynyrd<\/strong> for rock’s equivalent of “Curse of the California Angels<\/a>” status. Considering that the Gibb-related deaths are all in one family, this may put them “ahead” of Skynyrd. However, Andy Gibb was not a member of the singing group, so his inclusion in the Rock Band Tragedy count might not qualify, as would be expected if the Van Zandt brother from .38 Special had died young. Tell that to Momma Gibb, right? All horrible joking aside, Robin Gibb did some remarkable work in all phases of the band’s history, perhaps no better than kicking off the following song.<\/p>
