Celebrity Deaths in 2012

Robin Gibb

Robin Gibb, the co-founder of the Bee Gees, died after a long battle with cancer. He was 62. Gibb was diagnosed with liver and colon cancer two years ago, but despite what he called a "spectacular recovery," his doctor confirmed he was suffering from advanced stage colorectal cancer in April. Gibb also battled pneumonia, earlier this year, which put him into a coma. The Bee Gees became household names across the world thanks to their contributions to the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, which included hit songs like "Stayin' Alive" and "You Should Be Dancing."
