Gibb turned disco into global force

Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb died last night of cancer at the age of 62.

Alongside his brothers in the group, he provided decades of chart hits and helped to turn disco into a worldwide phenomenon with tracks such as ‘Night Fever’ and ‘Stayin’ Alive’.

With his twin brother Maurice, who died in 2003, and elder brother Barry, Gibb notched up dozens of hits and sold over 200m records.
