The Gibb brothers made music history as the pop and disco band Bee Gees.

Bee Gees: Brother Barry Gibb is still alive today
Bee Gees disbanded when Maurice Gibb died suddenly in 2003 at the age of just 53. Sadly, Robin Gibb also passed away in 2012, leaving only Barry Gibb alive today.
Barry was the second eldest of five Gibb siblings, and he's now 78 years old. Since the 2012 death of his brother Robin, Barry has launched a solo career and has occasionally performed Bee Gees songs live by himself and with family members.
In 2016, Gibb released a solo album titled In the Now, described as a country-inspired pop album. Gibb told Billboard he was actually "ready to quit" music after the deaths of his brothers, but he eventually regained the desire to write new music as a solo artist.
