Yes, really sad news about Robin. I really feel for Barry - of four brothers he's now the only one left. Spirits Having Flown indeed.....

Wonderful, wonderful songwriters - the move to the middle eight at around 2:50 always gives me goose bumps, no matter how often I hear it. Actually, listening to it now, it's brought a tear to my eye.

And this, with the wonderful, characteristic Gibb bros. intro and turnarounds.
My favourite Bee Gees composition and a great song to play live.

Robin Gibb was a legend.

Robin's version of Ellan Vannin has to be the best ever.

The "real" Manx National Anthem, indeed and one piece of music that I want to be played at my funeral.

Its celeb - carnage! Like some strange version of Final Destination. Had a Bee-Gees marathon last night until the children told me to turn it off :cry:

Got my fingers crossed for Simon Cowell up next Perhaps in a freak yachting accident....

People like Simon Cowell go on for bloody years.

I can see the headline....

Disgraced former Lord Simon Cowell found dead face down in public toilet.

Other options the redtops might go for:

"And It's A No From Me"

"What A (ridiculously high) Waist Of A Life"

"Cowell's Got The Ex-Factor"
