According to Yahoo News,  Robin Gibb died in a London hospital after a battle with colon and liver  cancer today. He was 62. Robin’s series of health crises began in August 2010  when he underwent emergency surgery to treat a blocked intestine.

The  same hereditary condition led to Robin’s twin brother Maurice Gibb’sdeath in January 2003 at age  53. He contracted pneumonia and slipped into a coma.

Robin Gibb’s death today puts a spotlight on Bee Gees, one of the most successful groups in pop music history. The brother trio, which also included oldest brother Barry Gibb and Robin’s twin Maurice, amassed nine #1 hits on Billboard‘s Hot 100, a total matched by only two other groups or duos. The Beatles lead with 20. The Supremes had 12.

RIP Robin-
