Founding member of the Bee Gees, Robin Gibb, reportedly died today following a long battle with cancer.
Gibb, along with his brothers Barry and Maurice as the Bee Gees, garnered nine Grammy Awards, five American Music Awards and one Brit Award throughout the band's career.
The Bee Gees released an impressive 22 studio alums between 1965 and 2001, three of them reaching the Top 10 on the U.S. music charts.
Robin Gibb had apparently slipped into a coma in April of this year after undergoing extensive treatment for liver cancer and contracting pneumonia.
After miraculously recovering from this coma, it was discovered that Gibb suffered from colorectal cancer.
The Bee Gees were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, and he and his brother Barry received Honorary Degrees of Doctor of Music from The University of Manchester in 2004.
Gibb was 62 years old.
