Maurice Gibb
" Yesterday was history.
Who knows what there is gonna be
when we meet again.
Will you smile and tell the world about me?
Can there be no doubt about me,
I was your friend. "
(Bee Gees. "Sea of Smiling Faces ". To Whom It May Concern. Polydor. 1972.)
It has been five years since the world has lost one of the greatest musicians who ever lived. I am grateful for the years he was here, for the contributions that still fill every day with melodies and joy.
The music from his soul has touched every aspect of our lives. There is a special song, born from the depth of his soul, for each monumental step of our lives. His gifts to us have helped us through the saddest of times and have also helped us to celebrate our most joyous of times. Now we celebrate his life
The music that sprung from his heart will live forever, survive
the passage of time. And each time we hear these precious gifts sung by
his magical voice, we will cherish, once again, his mischievous and joyful
smile,
that sparkle in his eyes, and his infectious laughter.
And I will tell the world about you
...and remember with joy!
I'll keep remembering all my life.
Bee Gees. "Remembering". Trafalgar. Polydor. 1971.

It has been six years since the death of one of the greatest musical minds... and hearts. Maurice will always live on in our hearts and souls. Thank you for sharing your gift! Your music never dies!
Sandra
Barry and Robin: Listen! Who is that voice that urges you to put the past to rest and move on? Mo! Who smiled, laughed and teased as no one else could? Mo! Who is the glue that bound you to him, and one another all these years? Mo! He may be gone, but the glue stillholds, never to be broken. That is Mo. He lives on in your heart and soul. His soul may now belong to God, but his heart will always be with you. He sings in a heavenly choir, and you sing of him, whenever you hear or see something that reminds you of all he gave all his life. You can't help it, because that is Mo. He is forever here. Will you listen?

Just a belated message from an Aussie fan of the Bee Gees and the wonderful contribution of Maurice Gibb to the rest of us who are left behind who still enjoy his legacy of music and voice! We have lost some very talented people over the years and I still remember vividly the morning of August 16 1977 when my then wife came to wake me as I had been on night shift about the news of Elvis having passed away(I thought she was joking) Elvis dead at 42,no way! Maurice Gibb dead at 53,no way! Andy Gibb dead at 30,no way! But sadly all were true and just as sad is our lives feel a little less knowing these wonderful and talented people are no more.Another tragic event that comes to mind is the assasination of John Lennon in 1980 by a dropkick with a gun and obviously no common sense! I just wanted the rest of the world to know that Australia loved the Bee Gees and they are sorely missed from Downunder.Our love goes out to them and to Maurice's family and Barry and Robin's as well! I hope you post this belated message on your website 4 the rest of the world to read! By the way I'm a 54 year old fan and have been since I first heard Spicks and Specks in the 1960's. Love to all the Gibb family from Oz! Maurice you are sorely missed young man!
Kindest Regards,
Craig Donnelly

I have loved the BeeGees since I can remember. I do hope Robin and Barry will consider writing and performing in the future, as they have such a wonderful talent. Maurice is greatly missed, but I know the BeeGees music will live on, as it does in my heart.
Sincerely,
Marcia St.John
I would like to give the Gibb family my symathy by saying that with time your wounds will begin to heal from your loss. I know it has been three years now, my dad passed away also in 2003 and to this day it still hurt when I think of my dad. You only get one chance to live life, so go live it to the fullest! And remember that god and the fans love you and your family!

My name is Marie. I Love The Bee Gees and am VERY sad still after 4 years since Mo's death. I live in Miami, Florida. Although I live in the same city they do I have only seen the guys once in a record store back in 1993. It was great to say the least. I am sorry I never saw them again.

COMO LAMENTO LA MUERTE DE MAURICIO GIBB UNO DE LOS MUSICOS MAS AFAMADOS DE LA HISTORIA Y QUE PENA QUE LOS BEEGEES YA NO CANTEN JUNTOS.

Maybe it´s late to remember him... but never forgotten!! But as he passed away, we lost the Bee Gees, also… it´s a big loss for the world!! We love you wherever you are!!

Everytime I watch their One Night Only Concer I can't stop thinking . . . what happen now to the Bee Gees now Mr. Maurice Gibbs has passed away? I hope that Barry & Robin will continue composing songs so that we may continue to hear the real music, the style of Bee Gees. Barry & Robin always take care of yourself, The Spirit of Maurice will always in my heart. I hope that the kids of Barry, Maurice & Robin put their own group just like their Dad. And rest assure that we will support you as we supported and loved the Bee Gees. May the Lord God protect the Gibb Clan in all kinds of troubles, harm, sickness and any aridities in life. Bee Gees fans put some Grease so that were Staying Alive no matter How Deep is Your Love or How Can you Mend This Broken Heart and when you decided to go back in Masachusete dont forget to to ask what the status of New York Mine Disaster because Too Much in Heaven soul that came from. But dont worry when the First of May come will I Started A Joke.

You're website is great - I knew Bee Gees fans all over the world woke up this morning - shocked to hear the news!! My heart and prayers go out to Maurice's family, wife and kids, expecially Barry and Robin. I can only find condolence in the fact that I was able to see them in 1979 in Chicago and again in 1989 at the Love & Hope. All the Gibbs were cordial but Maurice....he appeared to be genuinely appreciative that all the fans were there. He was talking and joking as if everyone had been old friends for years. He was alwyas my favorite - thanks to his sense of humor and love for life. Although there were no family ties - my heart is heavy and saddened, for myself but more so for his family. No matter how high they ranked in the celebrity poll - they never forgot their roots, their family!!!!! I respect him for that.
Thank you again (so much ) for the website
Kathy
Your page is such a sweet, touching tribute to Maurice, and I know he'd be pleased. I didn't really know of Maurice until 1997, when I heard "Alone" for the first time, as a single mom-to-be. I was so emotionally distraught at the time, and the only thing that brought me any joy was the sound of those beautiful harmonies of the Gibb Brothers. I absolutely fell in love with Maurice, as apparently so many women have. Though he was 22 years my senior, I thought he was the epitomy of the perfect man, flaws and all. I was in absolute envy of his wife! 'My kingdon for ten minutes with Maurice...'. I learned of his passing from my mom, who saw it on CNN. She said that 'someone I really liked had died' and in my heart I knew it was Maurice. My friends immediately called to make sure I was ok, knowing full well how much I loved Maurice. I spent the next two weeks scanning the news for any mention of him, with my tissues in hand. My heart goes out to his family, especially his wife and children, whose sorrow I can only sympathize with and share, but not imagine. And for Mrs. Gibb, to lose two sons so young must be a mother's worst nightmare. I send my love to the entire family. I hope this world will remember Maurice for what he truly was, an imperfect man with a perfect heart. What I wouldn't give to see that smile just once more!
FOR YEARS, I HAVE CARRIED A DISTINCT FONDNESS IN THE MUSIC OF THE BEE GEES AND THE LOVE WITH WHICH THEY PERFORMED. I, SINCERELLY, WILL MISS ANDY AND MAURICE'S CONTRIBUTION TO MY LIFE.
I was in shock the morning I learned of Maurice's passing. To his family, friends and all the other fans out there, I have been a big fan of the Bee Gees and I know we will all miss the music, smiles and love he put into every song, concert and public appearance. May God watch over Maurice's family. Because Maurice will himself, always be there in spirit. I will miss The BEE GEES aka: The Brothers Gibb. The sound they had and contribution to music was truely unique. I was 10 years old and started listening to them back when Saturday Night Fever came out. Ever since I could never get tired of their music.
Again, may GOD Bless Maurice and the rest of his family.
Sincerely,
Kevin McHone

It is with sadness that I send my condolences to the entire family. It is very hard to lose someone so close, it is like a part of you is missing. I have felt this pain in the last year with the loss of my baby sister, she was only 34 and I am raising her three children. Maurice's music and spirit will live on even though he is not here in body. God gave him a beautiful gift, his voice, like an angel. Now he is a guardian angel watching over his loved ones. My thoughts and prayers are with you , remember the memories they are in your heart and no one can take that away.
All my Love,

Today a part of my teen years ended. All I can think is how happy Andy must have been when he saw his brother walking toward him. RIP Maurice.. you will be missed

I was devastated to hear tonight about the death of one of my all time favorite singers, musicians, and songwrites Maurice Gibb. The only good thing is that he will be with Andy but he is going to be missed by all of us who loved the Bee Gees. I remember when my kids were little that they didn't think the Bee Gees were any good until they were on Sesame Street and then they hit the big time as far as they were concerned. They have given me so much joy and helped me through the bad times in my life that I can't imagine Maurice being here. He was so talented. My heart aches for his family and loved ones. My grandmother said after her daughter died that a mother should never outlive her child that there is nothing more painful and I am sure that is right. I feel so badly for his mother. A loyal fan

It came as a great shock to me learning the loss of Maurice Gibb. I knew he was hospitalized several days ago. Just earlier tonight my sons, six and three, were singing 1941 New York Mining Disaster and I've Gotta Get A Message To You on our way home from dinner. Looking back there is so much he and his brothers had contributed to the music world. I never got tired of listening to the Bee Gees. My deepest condolence goes out to his mom, wife, children and his brothers. He will be deeply missed by all of us.
And The Sun Will Shine

I've loved their music and watched their video Keppel Road and found Maurice to be a very gentle fun loving person. Please be so kind to pass this on, especially to Barry and Robin, having lost his twin brother. Thank You Very Much

I have a beautiful wife, We have been married for 3 years. one of our many connections was we are fans of the Bee Gees. We were young around the disco time. And did not know each other. But if we did we would have shared your music together.. We are older now, happily married and for christmas I bought a Bee Gees cd. So now we can share that young age from the 70s..We will miss you Maurice...
Wish you where here. Maurice Gibb and his brothers a part of many years in my life. Im sad that i never was on a concert of the Bee Gees, and also it never will be. Your Website ist grateful. Many thanks. With the best wishes for you. Thinking about Robin, Barry, Ivonne and the hole Gibb-Familiy

When I learned the news of Maurice Gibb's death, I felt a deep sense of loss. I grew up with the Bee Gees throughout the years. They gave us unique and unforgettable tunes.

I was shocked and upset by the news that Maurice Gibb had died. I have been a Bee Gee's fan since I was very young. I desperately hope that in the long term this will not stop the other two brothers from continuing with their tremendous contribution to world music in the future. With very best wishes from a fellow English Countryman.

I was deeply shocked to hear of Maurice Gibb's passing. I just turned 53 and to lose him at this young age seems impossible. As everyone has said, it is a tremendous loss. I cannot imagine how his family is coping. My deepest sympathies to them all.

Farewell, Brother Maurice. I grew up with your music, and you were my distant friend though I have never met you. See you someday in the land of our common ancestors.

When I heard of his death, I stopped in disbelief. A man from a family that felt like part of our own. He was there in Junior High School, during football practice, a radio in the stands broadcast the Bee Gees to all the football players, as a pleasant distraction. He was there on Saturday nights, as we cruised with our friends. He was at the movies, singing about everything that was on the minds of teenagers...Love. He was at our High School dances, as our hearts were getting broken for the very first time. And as we got older he and his brothers were still there, to help us get through the good and the tough times with new families of our own. To Maurice's family and friends, we will miss he much, and hope you know just how much he was (and is) loved.

I heard of the news of Maurice Gibb today and a GRAVE sadness and shock came over me!! I have been and am a BIG fan of the Bee Gees and Andy Gibb for 25 years--their music has touched my LIFE as they have and Always will! I want to express my DEEPEST condolences to Maurice's family, his Mother, Wife & Children, Brothers, Barry & Robin. He is gone but NEVER forgotten--his memory will live on each time I listen to a song--but he will be DEEPLY missed!
With Sincere and Deepest Sympathy,

turned on the tv to watch Larry King - I didn't move from my chair for the next hour.Just recently my husband and I enjoyed one of your specials. We continued watching the interview with Larry and found the Bee Gees CD and played Islands in the Stream and other favorites VERY LOUD. Helped take the sadness away for a fleeting moment. Thanks for bringing such joy into our lives with your wonderful music.

Maurice is gone, but the music lives on forever. I feel as if I have been a Bee Gees fan almost all of my life, and there is not one year gone by, that I do not have one Bee Gees song to relate to. Mauric, we will miss you! What an undeniably, gifted soul you were. Now, you will entertain the Angels in Heaven. My prayers to all in the Gibb family. Take comfort in the fact that this gentle soul is now making the most important music of his career.
Maggie Stalhut
I just found out about his passing less than an hour ago, and I am very sad to hear this. I also just realized something: I have never seen the Bee Gees live in concert, and now I never will. I was only 12 when they went on the Spirits tour in 1979, and they weren't playing in Boston, only in Providence, and I couldn't get tickets. I was just a kid and I guess not a very resourceful one. But I could cry, and did I ever. Then, in 97 when it was rumored that the brothers would mount a mini-tour of sorts, I thought that was my chance, but they only did the Vegas show and that was out of the question for me, unfortunately. I guess I always thought there'd be another chance for me to get to see them, but now there never will. My thoughts are with Maurice's family during this sad time.
Missy
I want to extend to you my accolades on the wonderful website you have created of Maurice Gibb. I just wrote a condolence note and was wondering if you could include it on your page. I've been a fan, as I said in my prior E-mail for over 20 years of the Bee Gees and Andy Gibb and an DEEPLY saddened by Maurice's passing today.
Sincerely, and thanks,
Kris M.
I am just lost at the news of the world losing some like Maurice Gibb. It is going to be hard not to be listening to the Bee Gees music any more knowing that another of our great legendary music groups has lost a member. The Bee Gees have had their share of heartache from the loss of Andy and now Maurice. My prayers our with Robin and Barry and their family. It just won't be the same without the Bee Gees. Sincerely,

La noticia me golpeó fuerte. Creo que comienzan a irse de nuestro mundo las verdaderas estrellas, esas que que nunca pasarán de moda. Aquellos artistas de verdad, que con talento, pasión y sensibilidad, nos han cautivado con sus canciones y acompañado en tantos días felices, tristes o melancóloicos a lo largo de nuestra existencia. Maurice y los Bee Gees los siento parte de mi vida y siento en estos momentos una profunda tristeza por lo sucedido. Hermanos Gibb, familiares, amigos y fans, sepan que los acompañamos en su dolor pero pensando siempre que Bee Gees ya es parte de la historia de la música y eso no podrá morir nunca. Un abrazo desde Chile donde tienen muchos admiradores.

Our sympathy goes out the Gibbs family. Maurice left us, but he is still here with us in spirit. He stills sees us, he feels no pain, he will want his brothers to keep that legacy going. Andy and Maurice will always be with them. I have passed near death, and God has given me another chance, that is why I know, Andy and Maurice still can see all of us. May God bess you all, t

Every once in a while, the world loses a voice that comes by only once in a lifetime - a voice so distinctive and so unique - Sinatra, Orbison, Presley and now dear Maurice Gibb. Music again has once again changed and will never be the same. This is a catastrophic loss. Our sincere condolences to the entire Gibb family.

My two favorite groups have always been The Beatles and The Bee Gees.What more could you possibly have needed? First John, then George, and now Maurice--I don't think I can take much more. Words can't express my sincere condolences to the Gibb families--especially to their mother. The world mourns with you in your loss.

Thank you so much for your tribute site to Maurice. I am very saddened by his passing. It feels so unreal. But, reading the comments that other people have written, it's great comfort to know that many people feel the same way about Maurice, his music and his family as I do. The Bee Gees have always been a big part of my life, and Maurice was always my "favorite Bee Gee". I will cry when I play my Bee Gee music because I will miss Maurice. I will also smile because their music has brought me much happiness in my life, and I will find comfort in knowing that he is hanging in heaven with his brother Andy and his father, Hugh. My thoughts and prayers are with the Gibb family.

can't stop crying because of the sadness I feel for his family and the great loss of his beautiful voice. When I heard of his illness on Friday, I felt a sense of dread as I had just recovered from an intestinal infection accompanied by very high blood pressure so I knew it probably was very serious. This morning I attended Mass specifically to pray for certain people and give thanks for my new job. Maurice was in my prayers and I so hoped he would recover. I love the Bee Gees and especially loved their live concert on TV recently. Maurice looked so good!!! I'm 56 and continue to love the music he loved to sing. My prayers to all who are mourning his loss. Sincerely,

I thought that I would tell you that I was sad to hear about the lovable Maurice Gibb. He always managed to make me smile with his pranks, and being silly. I did not cry all day until tonight. I have been sitting here in front of my computer listening to Omega man and the Still Waters CD. The Dam finally busted... I am very sad that he has gone... I know what the entire Gibb family has gone through... My dad suffered a heart attack and is now happy and healthy after his multiple bypass... I don't take life for granted anymore... I think that Maurice would want you to continue on making music or writing for other people. We will all mss him and I would hug all the Gibb family if I could... He had one hell of a voice too and it will never be silenced as long as there is family and the fans to keep the music and spirit of Maurice alive... We love you Barbara Gibb and family... Hugs go out to all of you...My heart weeps for all of you... May God watch over the entire Gibb family...

It looks as though the good do die young. Some of the most memorable music will endure long after all of us are gone. But I am saddened by the thought of all that music left in him that goes with him to the great beyond. Join that heavenly throng and I will see you and know you by your music. Love Always ,

Maurice was so loveable and funny. It will not be the same... Its hard to listen to my Cd's and realize you are gone............ Bee Gees were and are great, they are more then Disco to me.. music about love, feelings etc. Saturday Night fever was not all they did!! I loved them before that, they were a big part of my music world in the 70's and 80's......... I enjoyed to see them on Larry King last year and Live by Reguest. Maurice was very light hearted........... My heart goes out to Barry and Robin. May God help this family in their loss and pain.

There was something about Maurices smile that seemed to say ...I've seen and enjoyed and endured much..and I am ready to accept whatever is next. I would have loved to have known him..and perhaps in a way I do thru his soulful songs. I hope his brothers were with him at the end..I know that is the way he would want it!

I was heartbroken to hear my childhood idol, Maurice Gibb had passed on. He has brought joy to me and millions of others with his and his brothers music and has also brought hope to recovering alchoholics like myself. Our loss is Andy's gain. All my love and prayers to his mom, wife and all the Gibb family.

Just as millions are today, I am very saddened by the news. He was one of the nicest celebrities in town! I would see him occasionally on my way home from work and he would always have a smile on his face and the hat on his head. I grew up with the Bee Gee's, loving their music, their personalities, and seeing them around. I am grateful for the time we had him with us, but it was way too soon to loose him. Thank God the music will keep him close. My condolences to the whole family.

~THE MUSIC DOESN'T STOP EVEN WHEN YOU ARE GONE ~
You have filled the world with many emotions, with all of the different tunes which you made. I feel a touch of sadness within my heart today, for you have gone away from us, and the tunes will be forever laid.
Every time I hear a song from which you and your brothers had developed, the years from way back when, seeing how I get so entwined so tightly in your sunny songs of the seventies, packing down such an inpact on many lives today we shall seal the memories shut tight, and bury that heartfilled envelope.
The final song which was made in memory to your young brother Andy was so perfect and fitting for him, as he now comes to meet with you Maurice, at that pearly gate in the brightly lit sky.There will be many there to meet you and as one song which you had made many years ago, you have also become one of those flowering souls singing many of your tunes up here in Heaven and being one of many who like you are Spirits Have flown. You are free to fly.
You among others have the great ability now to start such a great band up above, making brand new songs for all of us below to be filled with love.
The Music will never stop, even when you are gone from us and the pain, though it may be hard to get over for a long while, the songs which had been made by you so long ago... will always be remembered with such style.

I,too,am not only a BeeGee fan but a fan of Maurice as well. Together they were an incredible unit of music. I grew up with them as you probably did. I am very sad today as are all of us fans. Thank you for that beautiful tribute. God Bless you and The BeeGees' families.

I was devastated, shocked, and deeply saddened to learn of Maurice's death today. I, too, and 53 years old and the Bee Gees music has been a part of my life since their first record was released. My sympathy and prayers go to his his wife, Yvonne, and children, to his twin brother Robin, brother Barry, his mother, sister, and all of the other Gibb family members who were fortunate enough to have known this wonderful family man intimately for so many years. The musical talent of Maurice, Robin, and Barry has celebrated me through the good times in my life and has lifted me in the bad times. No one could have left a finer legacy to his family and fans than Maurice has. All of us who believe in God know that He calls the good men home early, just as He did Andy. We are all saddened from his loss from this earth; but we are comforted in the assurance that he, his beautiful smile and wonderful music will live forever in a place more beautiful than any of us can imagine. I will never forget you for the influence you had on my life.

With a great sadness I learnt of Maurice's passing this morning. I am in shock. Music has truly lost one of it's shining stars and Maurice will be sadly missed but greatly remembered through the music that he, Robin and Barry gave us. My thoughts are with Maurice's family and friends and especially his brothers Robin and Barry.

After hearing good reports on Friday about his emergency surgery, I was so surprised to hear of his dying this morning. Maurice always seemed to have such energy and enthusiasm for life, it just doesn't seem possible that he's gone. I was lucky enough to see them in concert many years ago, they remain my favorite group of singers. Such harmony and sound. My condolences to his wife and children, mother and brothers. Keep your memories in your heart for he was a wonder!
Mary
I just downloaded Maurice's song "This is where I came in" Friday night. I am truly shocked to hear this untimely news. His songs, as well as the Bee Gees have been a great comfort to me, a single mother of two, for 30 years. My prayers are with the family.I will pass on Maurice's gift to my two children. He will be missed. .

Thank you for this beautiful memorial site to Maurice Gibb. Growing up in the 1970's, I enjoyed the Bee Gees incredible harmonies, even today those harmonies still touch my heart.

Your website was the first I chanced upon as I search frantically for information about Maurice that would somehow answer the questions raging through my mind since I read of his death. My heart goes out to his family, especially his twin, Robin. I lost my twin sister a few years ago, so I know the void that he must be feeling right now. My sister and I were avid Bee Gees fans. Wonder if she has met him yet? Thank you so much for designing this tribute to Maurice. It has been helpful to read comments from others who share in this all too soon loss of a great voice and a beautiful face. It's small consolation, but at least I have a copy of every song he has ever recorded with his brothers to keep my wonderful memories of him alive. Thanks again for your creativity in honouring his memory.

I am writing to thank you for having your tributes page up on the net. It was comforting to be able to read about the love people all around the world felt for Maurice Gibb. Your portrait of Maurice is truly lovely and touched me, also. I was devastated when I heard this morning that Maurice had died. I felt in shock at the news. To have lost this amazingly talented man has produced an emotion that is so strong within me, it's palpable. I have been playing BeeGees music all day long and have been feeling great sorrow at the untimely death of this musical icon. The BeeGees have provided me with comfort and joy and love every time I've listed to their music. I have been a proud BeeGees fan ever since I can remember - from my youth in the 70s and 80s to enjoying them proudly as a young adult during their "comeback" of the 90s and the new millenium. I was so proud of them when they were initiated into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. "Long overdue!" was my thought! I offer my sincere condolences to his family during their time of grief. I hope they are comforted by the knowledge that Andy is in Heaven and is with his brother now. My love and sympathies to the Brothers Gibb and to their family. Con te partiro, Maurice. Rest in Peace. An Irish Blessing for Maurice Gibb... May the road rise to meet you May the wind be always at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face May the rains fall soft upon your fields And until we meet again May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

My first concert was a Bee Gees concert. I was 12 years old and I loved them. I loved Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts club band movie. Maurice was my favorite because of his Humor and Joy with what he was doing. I thought I was sad when Andy died, but today is worse. God Bless the Gibb family and may the many accolades of the fans help ease the pain of your loss.

As someone who lost a brother much too early in their life, my condolences to the Gibb brothers on their loss. It is one that is unimaginable until you go through it yourself. For now, the grief is so great that you never think you'll get through it but, as time goes by, the very things that hurt when you think of them now will later bring you a feeling of closeness and peace in your heart. We were blessed to have him in our lives through his music. You were blessed moreso to have been his brother in blood. Our sympathies to you, his wife and children. May our Lord give you His comfort and peace in the days to come.

Dear Maurice Gibb,
We want to thank you for all the memories down here on Earth. Thank you for all that you and brothers did for the world of disco and pop artists. You were my favorite Bee Gee and always it will serve me great pleasure to thank you for the beautiful and feel good music that you played and sung. Thanks to the smallest (in heigth), but second oldest from his brother Barry Gibb. Maurice thanks for helping making it possible for classic rock or disco era possible to live.Your tunes in our heads will always be (may you call it) "Staying Alive." I am 17 yrs old and one of your youngest fans and my dad has been a fan of yours since the "the early 1970's."
your fans and friends, Kristan(the daugther of the family) and ( my dad and mom) Ruben and Judy Rios

Just wanted to let you all know how widespread the BeeGees music is. I always enjoyed them, but today when my 85 year old mother heard Maurice died she was rather upset and said how much she always enjoyed them and tried to watch when they were on tv. So, God bless his family. Rest in peace, great singer.

Thank you for this wonderful site. I had tuned in to two oldies stations and neither one did a tribute or even mentioned his death when I was listening, I had to hear about it from news station. I am thoroughly saddened by Maurice's death. He, like my mother, died way too young. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, and the world has lost a beautiful soul.

To the Gibb family,
Words fail me. I've been a fan since childhood and I'm in my early 40s now. Your music touched me in a very special way and helped me through some troubled years. Your generosity and compassion toward others has always shone through. Although I know none of you personally, I take this loss with great sorrow and will keep you all in my prayers. John Steinbeck once wrote about the aspiration to be the kind of man who, by his life and deeds and works towards others, his loss brings only sorrow and not gratitude. Maurice's passing has brought sorrow to many. I am so very sorry.
Nancy Harding

I was shocked upon reading the front page of our Sunday paper that Maurice was dead! I know that in this life people come and they go. But we should all aspire to have lived a life that touched so many other lives. World wide with words put to music he touched and forever marked our lives and hearts. What a great gift to have shared with us all over the decades! I thank you for many memories and for an all to short time, a insight into your heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Thank you again.

1974 and I heard "Mr Natural", ironically quite an apt description of Maurice. My formative years were spent listening to the music of the Bee Gees and I still do, almost thirty years later. The memories of my children singing along with me in the car from the earliest they could speak are as cherished as they were delightful. Vale Maurice! To Yvonne and children and to the Gibb family at large, sincere condolences on your tragic loss. The world has indeed lost someone quite special.

May God & his angels wrap their arms around Maurice's wife, children, mother and the rest of this beloved family. The only ray of sun in today... is that perhaps Maurice and Andy have embraced each other in a happy and eternally sunny place.

My thoughts and deepest sympathy to his wife and children, mother, Barry and Robin. Fond memories last forever.

Maurice was reported on our local news station this morning as the "quiet one on the band" but that to me is further from the truth. I remember him as the witty and extremely talented Bee Gee brother who was the backbone and support to the the group. I loved him for his honesty and warmth in interviews. Although I never met him, I feel as though he was part of life from my early teens - You will be missed Maurice....... My heartfelt wishes to Yvonne and the children.

woke up last night at about 2:30 Eastern time and could not get Mo off of my mind. I went downstairs to the computer and was hunting for little snippets of their wonderful music to try to soothe my fears. For two hours I sat here, reading and listening to what I could find. It was so enjoyable reliving the music and thinking of how much happiness Mo, Barry, Robin and Andy brought to my life, especially in my teen years in the 70s. I prayed for him and thanked God for bringing him through the surgery. Then this morning I saw the news and felt that even though my prayers were unanswered, God must have a plan for this wonderful man to take him from us so suddenly. My prayers are now with his immediate family and his brothers, that they can get through this difficult and shocking turn of events. Mo, may you be in peace now, with God, and with Andy. You’ve been our angel for so many years…now you will be God’s angel. Love you.

Thank you Maurice and your brothers for being a part of my life with your beautiful voices (and handsomness). You've given so much to the world.

May time and a lot of love ease the pain of your loss. I send my love to you all.

Losing and being without Maurice is Like:
*A beautiful song without words; *Song Lyrics without music; *A tree without ground to be nourished from; *The earth without a sky; *Musical instruments without musicians; *A poet without a poem; *A road leading to nowhere; *A skyscraper without floors; *Loneliness without companionship; *A man without a woman and a woman without a man; *A couple without each other; *The ocean without water; *A ship without an ocean; *A Sailor without a ship; *A Sailboat without sails; *Love with no one to express it; *A radio without stations; *and finally, Man without God. All of these exhibit loneliness, emptiness, sorrow, the very things we all feel with the loss of Maurice Gibb. He will be sorely missed. Though that notorious, harmonic voice of the Bee Gees has been forever silenced, Him, and his voice, are still in our hearts, minds, souls, and spirits, so in all acuality he still lives in each and everyone of us. Whenever we hear a Bee Gees Song, or whenever our minds drift into a Bee Gees song, Maurice will live. My sincere sympathy and condolences to Barry and Robin, the remaining Brothers, and the entire Gibb family. I hope they (the Bee Gees) sail on and continue on....I feel that Maurice would have wanted it that way. My prayers are with the Gibb family. Forever on Bee Gees!

Sandra, I am beside myself at the news. I've been searching all day for answers. I had the pleasure of meeting Maurice backstage at a concert and he could not have been sweeter. He signed the back of my program and posed for pictures. I've loved the BeeGees since I was 9 years old in 1976. It was Children of the World that got me hooked! Words cannot express our loss. I'm listening this evening to all the tributes here in Boston on the radio. Have you heard of any type of memorial in Miami? I would love to go. There's nothing yet on Miami Herald or AP. Any info would be appreciated. I'm remembering and listening to the wonderful music he left us and that's helping my sadness. I hope you find too find solace in his words, music and voice.

Your website is very moving and I would like to add my feelings of sadness and shock at the passing of a talented musician. Together with his brothers, he has brought pleasure to millions the world over and personally to me since the Bee Gees first came onto the music scene so long ago. My thoughts are with Maurice's wife, children, brothers and especially his mother who has already lost one son. My mother lost a son during her lifetime and I know what a shattering experience it is. Maurice's passing will leave an enormous gap in the lives of his loved ones as it will in the music industry. I am just SO glad my daughter and I were able to attend the Bee Gees' concert here in Auckland, New Zealand on 20th March 1999 during their last visit here. May Maurice rest in peace.

I first saw the Beegees live at St John's arena At Ohio State U in 1971 after I had become their devoted fan with the Odessa album of 1969. They had a great backup band of well desssed long hairs and I have always wanted to see them live again. Their concerts have become few and far between in the later years........but I hoped. Now the tragedy .........How Can You Mend a Broken Heart.........Once There was a Way to Get Back Homeward.

The sadness that is in my heart today is the same you feel when you loose a friend. I never met Maurice but no matter what you saw him in he made the audience feel like they were indeed family and close friends. May God bless him, his wife and children, and of course Barry and Robbin and the rest of the family. I know that he and Andy are together now and heaven songs will sound much sweeter and more special knowing that they are there and together. Maurice will be missed.
The Bee Gees are such an important part of my life I feel like I have lost a member of my family. My thoughts and prayers are with the Gibb family at their time of sorrow. Maurice's songs will forever live in the hearts of his fans.

It is with much sadness that I just learn of the tragic passing of Maurice Gibb. His music touched my heart since 5th grade some 25 years ago. I'll say a special prayer for his family and fans the world over. After hearing Robin Gibb make the statement two days ago that his brother's condition was not considering life threatening this has hit us like a ton of bricks. it is just such a shock. I must go now and get their most recent red cd double disc set and play it for the rest of the evening. MG - RIP

I heard the news about Maurice being sick saturday afternoon. I went on the internet to find out what hospital he was in. I was going to send him a get well card on monday. I watched t.v. all day for updates on his condition. I called the hospital less than an hour after his passing(12:00am eastern) His family had left a recorded message of his passing and thanked his fans. Maurice and his brothers music have been a part of my life since the early 60's and I would like to thank them for touching mine and so many others lives. My prayers go out to Barry and Robin and the entire family. To love somebody,to love somebody,Maurice the way we loved you.

The news of the passing of Maurice Gibb has shocked me and my family in a state of Sadness. I was surprised that he was doing "A1" as his brother reported the other day, and suddenly he passed away. This is a really sad day and will always be remembered as a part of music died. May God bless you Maurice and his family.
I am very saddened by the death of Maurice Gibb. The Bee Gees is the most wonderful and talented goup I have ever had the pleasue of listening to. They are the only group as far as I am concerned. Maurice will be deeply missed. My heart goes out to all the entire family especially Yvonne, Adam, Samantha, Barry, Robin and Maurice's mother. My only dream in the world is to have gotten to see the BeeGees perform live, now I'm sure I want get to see that happen. This has been a very depressing day. I am so sorry that this terrible thing has happened. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. He will be terribly missed.

Deepest sympathy to all the family at losing Maurice so tragically. I am the same age, and it's so hard believe someone so talented and so popular, who should have had another 30 or so happy years ahead of him, has gone. Gradually, it seems, the music world is losing its wonderful, legendary 60's and 70's artists. Thank you for this website, allowing people to express their sorry and sympathy.

My very gentle father passed away a year ago this Wednesday. His favorite band was the Bee Gees. I listen to their music and am often brought to tears. Particularly “Run To Me”. I always will have that connection…and Love for who they are; and the wonderful man he was.
Laura
I am just another person expressing my immense sadness at Maurice's passing. I am a twin and I cannot imagine the depth of the pain and sadness that Robin and all his family are feeling. May Maurice's family find the strength to carry on. We love you Maurice. Rest in peace.

I remember when I watched CNN's news about Maurice Gibb's surgery like last Friday night until this nighttime and I was completely shocked to heard of his death at age 58. I'm sorry,man, He's one of greatest group becomes 2nd most popular bands since The Beatles back was 1st popular bands in '60s. I pray for Maurice's family,fans,and his wonderful successful brothers for my deepest sympathies go to them. I don't know too much his late Andy Gibbs, I'm sure he will be up there with him right now.

As soon as I heard the news I jumped on the internet and found your site. I'm so utterly bummed right now. :( I loved the Bee Gees and long story short...aside of the fact of how depressing today is...I'm turning it around. I'm vowing to play nothing but Bee Gee's today in memory of Maurice! Those guys' music always puts a smile on my face and reminds me of a happy childhood long gone. Proud (and have always proud to have been a) Bee Gee's fan! RIP and we love you Maurice! Stayin' Alive forever!!

As Bee Gees fan for always I feel deeply sad at this moments and my heart is with Maurice, all the Gibb family and with you. This is not fair. Rest in peace Maurice.
PS: Your picture of Maurice is beautiful.

You may not have known how much some of loved you, but we did back in the 70's, as I was growing up, and we do now, it will never change. I'm extremely saddened by your passing, and myself and my family send our heartfelt thoughts to yours. May God keep them through this very sad time. We will never understand a lot of things in life, but those who create music will always be God's special angels.

Just a short note to thank you, for the beautiful drawing of my good friend Maurice Gibb. Like so many of Maurice's personal friends, his death has hit me very hard. I will miss him as well his friendship, and my heart goes out to his family especially to Barry and Robin. I plan on looking at your drawing all day today, as well having a good cry.

My sincere sympathy and prayers to the Gibb Family. I am so sorry for your loss of such a great person. I have been listening to the Bee Gees forever. I feel like a piece of my childhood is gone.

Maurice is gone, a great voice of one of the most popular group in the world .......I don't know how to tell about that wonderful personnality, i am extremely sad, and tears are falling on my face . I am a French BEE GEES fan, I've grown up with all those groups like The MOODY BLUES, The BEATLES, Electric Light Orchestra , The ROLLING STONES, and of course The BEE GEES. I pray for the memory of Maurice, and i think about Robin and Barry........ Rest in peace, Maurice, we love you .........

I met Maurice at the Little river club in Miami and he was very kind to be my friend. He was very kind to spend a few moments with me.I was grateful he took time to be my friend.The little river club is an A-A place were I met Maurice. Let his family know he did make a difference when he was there at the meetings. My prayers go out to his family & friends. I told him about my dreams and were I want to be. I was the guy who called on the larry king show and spoke to Richard Simmons and Mr.King about my weight and and I told Maurice and he said you never know what might happen.

All of we in our family are very sad because Maurice's dead. My father, my mother, my brother and I are Bee Gees' s fans, in spite of our short age (I am nine years old and my brother is six years old) we learned to love Bee Gees´s music, but specially we enjoyed with Maurice kidding, Maurice always was happy and kidding so much in Bee Gees ´s presentation. We know all about Bee Gees´ s live, biography, Maurice alcoholic problems, Maurice recuperation and Maurice´s songs. For his wife, mother, sons, family and fans, our best words of love because Maurice pass away.
Sincerely,
Juan Felipe Pulido Alonso and family.

Heel de wereld was geschokt. Het kan niet waar zijn dachten we. Een ontsterfelijke groep, de beste groep, die nu een belangrijk lid is verloren. Een familielid. Ik ben een groot bewonderaar van de Bee Gees, speciaal van Maurice. Hij was de clown, hij was de spil van gezelligheid, ook in de familie. Ik als groot fan zal hem missen. Ik wens zijn gezin en familie heel veel stekte toe.

I was deeply saddened to learn of the death of Maurice Gibb. I really enjoy the Bee Gees and remember fondly the televised program, "One night with the Bee Gees" in the UK. Maurice was a character and he really looked the part with the beard and the hat. I hope you could post these comments on your web site. With deepest sympathy to Maurice's wife and family and of course to Barry and Robin.

Thanks for your tribute page. The Bee Gees are among the top ten musical groups of history. It is sad to lose one so talented. I found the following in an interview Maurice gave in May 2001. I think it speaks much about him and the way he lived his life:
"Everybody has two training thoughts. It's either fear or love. Nothing in between. It's always the one or the other. I love to live in love today. I don't live in the negative I don't think negative. I don't pursue anything that is negative. I don't even ask questions that are negative. I just go for what I enjoy. And love to do what I to do. And if I am loving it then it's incredible. That you can do something that you love as you work or your hobby whatever. To have that blessing." May God bless his family.
Mark Graham

Thank you so much for your tribute to Maurice, you are very talented. I have been a devoted fan of the Beegee's since the beginning of their career. It seemed every song they wrote was either about my life or someone close to me. I lost my husband over 3 years ago and he thought he discovered them when he was alive but he didn't realize that he heard their music so much it was part of his subconscious thoughts. He was much older than I and I swore "Run to Me" was written for us. I am 54 and all my adult life they have grown with me and wrote my life. Now my husband has two of them and it is like I have lost another member of my family. Everyone I date has to like two things: Be a big fan of the Beegee's and like cats and dogs. Everything else is negotiable! The Beegee's have been such an important part of my life and have given me such happiness and I will miss Maurice and his angel voice. I'm sure he and Andy are entertaining the angels and I know Landon is loving it. Who will write my life now? I pray for the families and especially for Barry and Robin. Maurice isn't dead, he has just moved on. It is a comfort but still hurts for the rest of us who will miss him so much.

I'd like to add my message of sympathy to all the Gibb Family, the friends and the fans of Bee Gees. This popular group was doing part of my childhood and I'd grown up with their music from the early 60's. I was terrified to hear that he died so young. I will remember him for all of my life. Thanks to you for thinking of him and his family.

I heard the news early this morning. My sympathies and condolences to his twin brother Robin, to to his older brother Barry. I fell in love with the Bee-Gee's in the 60's and the song that came to mind was the night the lights went out in Massachusetts". He truly was a light in this world and will be very missed.
Cheri Kramer
I became a BeeGees fan the minute I heard their first recording, "Holiday", and am a fan to this day. The BeeGees bridged the generation gap in my family - my 19 year old son is also a die-hard "oldies" addict and the only thing we truly agree on is that the BeeGees are the greatest group ever. We have taped every concert and watch them over and over. Our hearts go out to the Gibb family. We share in your sorry on this sad day.

We will miss Maurice, his music and his infectious smile. Peace be with you on your new Journey!

Great tribute Sandra, This world wont be the same without Mo, I met him once at Middle Ear Studios in the 80's and he couldn't have been nicer! I have followed the Bee Gees career since 1976 I have collected all of their albums, and chased them around Miami a couple years in the early 80's, I truly love all of them and I cried a lot of tears for Andy in 1988, and now today for Maurice. After reading all of the other tributes on your website I feel a little better because I know there are alot of people out there that feel the same way I do,he was loved very much and his work very appreciated. God Bless you Mo! until we meet again.
Landcombs
Thanks for your website. The Bee Gees have been such an integral part of the music scene for so long--over so many years and through so many changes in our music. And, I understand Maurice was the one who arranged all their great works. Never met him; never saw him in live concert. But, saw him and learned enough about him to have a deep respect for Maurice Gibb. A loss...a tragic loss.

Saundra, Your efforts are appreciated. I told my wife of his illness just yesterday. Her friend just called to talk about Maurice's death 24 hours later. My wife heard it this morning and hadn't told me. The Bee Gees are my wife's all time favorite group. Maurice IS her personal fave of the brothers. I feel your loss as my wife's because of the joy Maurice has given to her, the world, and to music. I have always appreciated the Bee Gees' influence on the gift of music throughout their career. As with the loss of my favorite guitarist, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Maurice's song and his legacy lives on. Maurice, Thank you and blessings.

My husband awoke me this morning to tell me the sad news. He knows what a huge fan of the Bee Gee's I have always been...as our first dance at our wedding last year was to "More than a Woman." Maurice will be greatly missed....I read an article this morning that said he was a "tormented soul"...I hope that was not the case as he brought so much joy to so many people's lives...including mine. I will forever cherish his music! My thoughts and prayers are with his family. I will remember him always and thank you for this site to share our thoughts.

I am the same age, and I was on the same page. How could anyone not love the Bee Gees? I recently enjoyed a biography of them and thought how well Maurice expressed himself in the interview, so personable and sincere. I'll never forget the time my husband got tickets to a show at Madison Square Garden when they did a comeback tour, because I had said my greatest desire was to see the Bee Gees. It seemed to me like too much heaven to be there "in their presence". I pray Maurice knew the Lord and that now he is in His presence knowing what it feels like to truly have "Too Much Heaven". Thank you Maurice.
In the love of CHRIST JESUS

I can never express how much apart of my childhood the BeeGees were. As a musician myself, I have the most high regarded respect for what they contributed to the music world. Barry and Robin must be lost today. My prayers will continue to be with them in the days ahead. Maurice's memory and the BeeGees' ethereal sound will be forever etched in my mind like an indelible imprint. My heart goes out to their Mother and Maurice's family. What a sophisticated musician he was and always will be. A legendary icon.

I wish to express my sincere thoughts right now for the Gibb families. So much compassion that Maurice expressed in the BeeGee's music will hopefully now be appreciated in the way he meant for it to be appreciated. Your words will live on Maurice, and I know your heart and spirit will remain with those close to you.
Go with God.

Thank you, Sandra, for this special web site you?ve created. On Thursday, I read the news on the Internet that you were in the hospital. This Sunday morning I was shocked to hear on the BBC that you were gone, . . . gone so soon. My thoughts and prayers go to Yvonne, Adam and Samantha.

As sad as I am today (I'm a lifelong fan), I have found a lot of comfort in listening to the music - his extraordinary legacy. I am watching the A&E "Live on Request" DVD this afternoon, and it's somewhat bittersweet. Thank God for the Bee Gees, and long may Maurice live in all our hearts through his music.

The first concert I ever went to was the BeeGee's. Their fabulous songs and harmonies have melted me for years. Their incredible talent is miraculous. This sad death jolts like Lennon. Barry and Robin's voices are more prominent but I think they have lost their happy glue. Still, what a fantastic life. Now he is with his brother. I'm used to listening to the BeeGee's all day, but today it's tearfully. Our thoughts are with the Gibb family . We are very sorry for your loss. Something irreplacable is gone.

My memories go back to Australian Bandstand all those years ago when the Bee Gees were starting out. "In my heart lies a memory to tell the stars above - don't forget to remember me, my love". Thank you for the music and the memories. Much aroha (love). Thank you Sandra for this opportunity - I can't stop crying. Why are the special ones taken too soon?

Hi Sandra
Just wanted to let you know that I think your site is beautiful!! I am an avid Bee Gees fan and still have my double album set with their handsome pictures. I loved Maurice, loved watching him perform, the joy he exuded from the stage while he played and sang. He always made me smile, and will continue to do so each time I hear their songs. Maurice, your smiling face, energy, passion and beautiful voice will forever remain in our hearts. Thank you for the pleasure, happiness and beautiful music you have given to all of us over the years. Your life has, and will continue, to enrich us all. My prayers are will the entire family in this time of incredible loss. We will miss you terribly and remember you always!!

think this kind of things are never expected, even more if they refer to such a young succesful person as one of the brothers gibb, Maurice. As long as I remember my dad has always played Bee Gee´s music, and I have learned to love it. This was a very astonishing news. We are really all sad but we are sure that Maurice will be fine wherever he is, though it's hard to know he will no longer be around us or around his family we know he will be making more of his unbelievebable music and he will be happy as he was here.....because he deserves it. He will be missed and never forgoten....rest in peace maurice gibb!

Heute verließ uns mit Maurice einer der größten Musiker der letzten 40 Jahre, leider viel zu früh. Leider konnte ich ihn nie mehr live erleben, aber dank seiner wundervollen Songs werde ich ihn auch so immer in Erinnerung behalten, seine Musik wird vielen Menschen Mut und Ablenkung geben. Mein tiefes Mitgefühl an seine Familie, die schwere Stunden hinter sich hat! Es ist für uns alle ein scherer Verlust.

It’s a very sad day for me – and a lot of other people around the world. We have lost a truly great musical icon. Our dear Maurice Gibb – one of the famous Bee Gees. They were – and always will be – my favorite group of all time. No one can ever top them in my mind. I would like to offer my deepest sympathy and condolences to the Gibb family on this tragic event. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. I had just prayed for him in church this morning that he would get well soon and be back home with his family. When I got home from church I got on the Internet to see if there were any updates on his condition. When I saw, "Bee Gee Maurice Gibb dies at 53", I thought it was a mistake. I HOPED it was a mistake. Sadly, it’s not. All I know is there is going to be a lot of wonderful singing and keyboard playing in Heaven now with him there! I guess God needed him more than we did. Remember their song "One" – it says "Every Breath We Take Is Planned". How true. God knew all along how long we would have Maurice here – we just didn’t know. We will forever be grateful for all the wonderful music he and his brothers have given to us over the years. No one has the close knit harmonies they do. The Bee Gees and the Swedish pop group ABBA were my all time favorite groups – but I always loved the Bee Gees more. I had always hoped to meet the Bee Gees in person someday, and now my dreams are crushed. Though I may meet the two surviving brothers – Barry and Maurice’s twin Robin Gibb – I won’t be able to meet him. For some dumb reason, I have never joined their Fan Club -–nor written to them. I guess I just thought they’d never get any letters. Just Friday night I joined their "email club" and got a response back with an ID and password. I did get to see them live in concert twice – the first time at 18,000 seater Cincinnati’s Riverfront Coliseum back in 1978 when they had their Saturday Night Fever soundtrack and movie out starring John Travolta. Of course my parents and I had to sit up in peanut heaven. I remember sitting outside of Sears department store waiting in a huge long line of fans to purchase tickets. They had a ticketmaster there then. When they opened those doors at 10:00 a.m. – it was chaos! People ran – pushed – and shoved to get into Sears. My mother and I almost got knocked down. That was just to buy the tickets! The concert was great and worth the long lines and wait though. In 1989, The Bee Gees had their hit single "One" on the charts and did their "One" tour. The closest they came to us was Cuyahoga Falls, OH – outside of Akron, OH – 5 hours away. I remember calling around like crazy to get tickets and they kept telling me they were sold out – until finally one place told me they had tickets and we got some and got to go. I really thought that we would have better seats than we did. It was an outdoor concert like Cincinnati’s Riverbend is. Our seats were in the Pavillion area – not the lawn – so I thought we’d be pretty close to the stage – we were the last row in the Pavillion and couldn’t see too much. But it was great just knowing I was THAT CLOSE to them. My Dad went as close as he could get to get some good pictures for me – but we only had a tiny camera at the time and no movie camera so they didn’t take well at all. If only we’d had the equipment we do now! How ironic that two of the brothers now have died from complications with their hearts and they wrote the song "How Can you Mend a Broken Heart?" I guess you can’t. At least mine cannot be mended – not right now anyway, as a lot of other fans cannot this day either. I’ll never forget when their younger brother Andy died on March 10, 1988. When I got home from work, my Mom told me, "I have some bad news". Then she told me Andy died. I was crushed. He and I were about the same age. I was 28 then, he was 30. I had such a crush on all the Gibb boys – mainly Barry and Andy – as a lot of girls did. The pain is still there for me. To this day, it’s hard for me to listen to Andy’s songs. Now the pain will be there every time I hear a Bee Gees song. What a sad, sad day for the world. Let’s all cry together. God Bless you Maurice. We miss you already, buddy. Life will never be the same without your wonderful sense of humor, beautiful smile, wonderful harmonies and keyboard playing. God be with the Gibb family at this terrible time in their lives. They truly need You right now. We, the world and all his fans, as the Gibb family are, are still in shock and will be for quite some time. Thanks for the memories. I’ll keep remembering you all my life. Our memories of you will live on in our hearts and minds – forever. P.S. Sandra – Your painting of Maurice is terrific! My boyfriend is an artist also. Thanks for the painting and especially for this website so we can express our feelings.

All my husband wanted for his birthday January 10th was "The BeeGees Greatest Hits" CD. With pain and suffering I found it for him. As we listened to it we shared the memories of our disco era and the joy that the BeeGees have brought into the lives of all who heard them. Our hearts to out to Maurice's family as once again they lay to rest a talented and beloved family member. He will forever be in our hearts.

What a lovely tribute to Maurice. I was devastated this morning to hear of his sudden death at such a young age. He will be sorely missed by his family, friends, and many, many fans. The world of music has lost a true jewel, but heaven is rejoicing today.

I received the sad news about Maurices passing over the phone, while I was playing with my dog. We kept on playing, and me singing some of my favourite Bee Gees Lyrics, with tears in my eyes. The Bee Gees will allways be like that to me: Imortal, my ethernal companions in my happiest and sadest moments. Maurice, thank you so very much! My sympathies for all the beautifull Gibb family! Please keep on working, keep on fulfilling this crazy world with your melody, your rhythm, your poetry, your beauty message!

I was stopped in my tracks at the news of Maurice's sudden death. Very touching tribute to a very special musician that has been part of our past. My sincere condolences go to his family and closest freinds

My sister came over to visit today and we were playing the Bee Gees on our surround system. They sound FABULOUS. My sister asked me if I knew Maurice Gibb had died. She said it was on AOL but I didn't see it. What a shock. Another master of his craft gone to his mansion in the sky. I feel the emptiness. He was just my age.

I am so very saddened and shocked by the news of Maurice's death. I am 28 and have loved the Bee Gee's since I was about 5 years old. I used to make my mom play their Greatest Hits record album while I sat on the living room floor with the album cover unfolded so I could stare at their pictures while I listened. I would have given my eye teeth to see them in concert. My deepest sympathies goes out to all of the Gibb family. I will always love the Bee Gee's.

There are no words to express the loss of such a much-loved and admired person. Maurice gave us so much and has contributed to the memories and enjoyment of people the world over. He will remain in our hearts.

I just read your site and wanted to forward my thoughts and prayers to the Gibb family. On Friday, I heard he was in the hospital and was very saddenned. I awoke to the news today- Maurice was a wonderful performer. I have been a Bee Gees fan since I was a small child in the late 70s. I grew up with Saturday Night Fever. I would like to extend my prayers to the Gibb family. Now Maurice is with his brother Andy..

This is a sad day for all who followed the BeeGees, and grew up listening to their music. Maurice had a very special and unique style. . .he will live on through the beautiful music he has left behind. My heart goes out to the family and those who loved him. Too often, the good die young.
With love and sympathy,

I'm still in shock and disbelief! Tears are rolling down my eyes as I'm writing this. Although I'm only 17, the music of the BGs has played an important role in most of my life. It brought sunshine to my rainy days, and comfort when I'm down. Especially Maurice! He was my love... He has always been my hero, his musical talents and contributions inspired me to learn different instruments and develop a passion for music and to creat my own. His great sense of humor, his bright shining smile and his energy for life will be deeply missed. My heart and thoughts go out to his family, friends and fans. Moby might be gone now, but his music and soul will live forever in our hearts. Moby, thanks for all the music and joy, you've brought to me. I've always dreamed of saying this to you in person one day, and tell you how much you mean to me... but I'm afraid that day will never come... But I will love you always and keep you forever in my heart
Love,

Thank you for your tribute. I'm numb......I idolized the Bee Gees for 32 years. I taught myself to sing like them and won a talent show doing so. Thank you Brothers'. Maurice was always the joker of the group and everyone loved him for his sense of humor. He was the talent when it came to arrangements. I grieve for Maurice as if I've lost another brother, having lost two myself. I remember interviews where he said "How deep is your love" being his favorite song. Well.....my brother....my love runs deep.
