The music world lost one of its greats Sunday.
“The family of Robin Gibb, of the Bee Gees, announce with great sadness that Robin passed away today following his long battle with cancer and intestinal surgery,” a rep tells Us Weekly in a statement. “The family have asked that their privacy is respected at this very difficult time.”
Gibb, 62, was put in a coma after contracting pneumonia in April. In 2010, the tenor had emergency surgery for a blocked bowel and then had an additional operation for a twisted bowel; he also had intestinal surgery on March 26, 2012 to remove a “blood clot that caused perforation.”
Robin’s twin brother, Maurice, died in 2003 at the age of 53 due to complications from a twisted intestine. Their younger brother, Andy, died in 1988 at age 30 of a heart ailment.
The Bee Gees’ soundtrack to the film Saturday Night Fever was one of the best-selling albums of the 1970s. They have won seven Grammy Awards and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.

Khloe and Lamar — the show, not the couple — is over.
Although the Kardashian family just re-upped with the E! network for three more years of reality programming, the spin-off starring Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom, will not shoot a third season.
“Khloe has pulled the plug,” a source close to Kardashian, 27, tells Us Weekly.
It’s been a tumultuous several months for the pair. Earlier this this month, NBA star Odom, 32, parted ways the the Dallas Mavericks just four months after being traded to the team from the L.A. Lakers.
Back from Dallas, the spouses of two and a half years “have decided he should train all off season,” the insider says. “And she’s exhausted from filming!”
On their agenda? A long, long-delayed honeymoon! (The duo wed in September 2009.)
“They just want to go on their honeymoon and take a breather,” the insider says.
But reality fans have definitely not seen the last of the twosome. In addition to appearances on Keeping Up with the Kardashians (season seven premieres May 20), “Khloe will do another spinoff with either Kim or Kourtney,” the insider explains of big sisters Kim, 31, and Kourtney, 33.

Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together in more ways than one.
On Rihanna’s 24th birthday Monday, the singer released a full-length version of her song “Birthday Cake” (from the album Talk That Talk) featuring new verses by her abusive ex Brown, 23.
“Girl I wanna f-ck you right now. Been a long time I been missing your body,” Brown sings on the remix. “Lemme, lemme turn the lights down. When I, when I go down it’s a private party.”
Brown also tweeted a link to the new version of his song “Turn Up the Music,” which featured additional music by Rihanna; the “We Found Love” singer later retweeted it.
Brown assaulted then-girlfriend Rihanna just before the Grammy Awards in 2009. He later pleaded guilty to felony charge and was sentenced to five years probation.
Although Brown is currently dating aspiring model Karrueche Tran, multiple sources confirm to Us Weekly that he and Rihanna have been secretly hooking up over the past year.
“Rihanna loves to live dangerously,” says a Rihanna pal. “Talking to and hooking up with Chris is all part of that.”
