i’m a massive BeeGees fan... and this news is sooo shocking, i’m so sad. :’(

heres an article i found on the net... for you to see why he died :(

Bee Gee Maurice Gibb has died in hospital.

The 53-year-old had been in a critical condition after suffering a heart attack during an operation to remove an intestinal blockage after he collapsed at his Florida home last week.

His wife Yvonne and his two children had been with him at the Mount Sinai Medical Centre in Miami since the surgery on Thursday night.

A statement released by his family said: “It is with great sadness and sorrow that we regretfully announce the passing of Maurice Gibb this morning.

“His love and enthusiasm and energy for life remain an inspiration to all of us. We will all deeply miss him.”

Yesterday his family and fans outside the hospital were hopeful that he was showing signs of recovery as he opened his eyes for a brief time and squeezed his daughter’s hand. The family statement said that he died at 1am.

As a member of the Bee Gees, Maurice Gibb had been one of the best-known faces in British showbusiness for the last four decades. He, his twin Robin and elder brother Barry, started their singing careers in the 1950s, earning their name from a previous incarnation as the Brothers Gibb.

Their hits include the soundtrack to the film of the disco phenomenon, Saturday Night Fever, in 1977 and a sequel, Stayin’ Alive, in 1983.

Saturday Night Fever saw some of the group’s most successful tracks such as Stayin’ Alive, How Deep Is Your Love and Night Fever. One of their most successful collaborations was with Motown legend Diana Ross and Chain Reaction in January 1986.

Gibb, the bass guitarist and keyboard player in the group, had well-documented problems with alcohol. He met his first wife, the singer Lulu, in the BBC canteen. They married in 1969 but divorced four years later.

I was so angry. Expressen and Aftonbladet had texts like this on the cover about Maurices dead:
Friend of Carola is dead ,Carola is very said
Who cares about this b.....
Maurice is dead not Carola.
( Unfortunately.)
If someone doesn´t know,Carola is a soapy swedish singer.
(Marie dislikes her too.)Carola is ugly and stupid.
She said for example that gays are sinners but they can be cured with pray...
No comment...

@Judith
But it was great when Jonas Gardell said that he hopes that Carola can also be cured by pray...
And Rickard Engfors made a cover called, “Bota dig med förbön” to a Carola song “Fångad av en stormvind” in Carola dress...
It was so funny.I love them.
( I mean Jonas and Rickard, not Carola....)

@Judith
Yes,and it´s pity that I haven´t seen Carola when she saw Rickard “being her”.
I am sure Rickard was the prettiest girl of them....
And Richard was very funny as Javiera too.
Have you seen it?
