Tribute to Robin
Today one year ago we again had to say goodbye to a dear Gibb.
Although he'll always be in our hearts and his music will live on forever
we will never be able to enjoy his presence anymore
or go to a concert where we can hear his magical voice
and see him on stage with his brothers smiling his lovely smile.
We will never forget
and will continue to cherish all wonderful memories and most of all
we'll keep the Gibb music alive, forever....

Barry's return to Manchester, alone
Some time in late September, a man in his mid 60s with long greying hair will stand in a suburban street in Chorlton and gaze wistfully at a three-storey semi.
It was here in this house in Keppel Road that an 11-year-old Barry Gibb and his eight-year-old twin brothers Robin and Maurice would sit in the basement listening to the hits of the day, and trying to write songs.

Titanic Requiem
Already one year has passed since the premiere of the Titanic Requiem at the Westminster Central Hall in London.
Co-composer R. J. Gibb introduced the performance, but his father Robin was too sick to attend.
To honor Robin in his absence, a recording of the song Don't Cry Alone was played with lights dimmed and a silent orchestra as the audience listened to the heart-felt lyrics:
"I'll be there for you forever. Don't you ever cry." As the song finished the audience rose to give a standing ovation.

Barry Gibb talks about life back on the road for the first time since the death of his brothers. Martin Hutchinson reports.
When Barry walks on stage he will have the thought that brothers Maurice and Robin are at his side.
The 66-year-old, possessor of one of the finest (and most ear-splitting) falsetto voices in the business, is embarking on his first ever solo tour to celebrate the music of The Bee Gees.
It will be a poignant moment for Barry who was used to performing alongside his two brothers.
After losing his younger brothers and having a heart scare himself a few years ago, Barry is philosophical about life in general. "It was devastating to lose Maurice and Robin, and it was worse for mum," he says. "I live in the moment now and I'm learning not to worry about the future."
