Robin Hugh Gibb Wiki Biography

Robin Hugh Gibb was born on the 22nd December 1949, in Douglas, Isle of Man, UK, and was a musician, singer and songwriter, probably best recognized for being a member of the pop group The Bee Gees. He was also known as a solo artist, and his musical career was active from 1955 to 2012, when he passed away

So, have you ever wondered how rich Robin Gibb was? According to authoritative sources, it was estimated that Robin counted the total size of his net worth at over $148 million at the time of his death, accumulated through his successful involvement in the music industry.

Robin Gibb was raised with four siblings by his parents Barbara and Hugh Gibb, a drummer; his siblings were musicians Andy and Barry, and he is the twin brother of Maurice Gibb, who was also a musician.

Robin’s professional musical career began in 1955, when he co-founded a band called The Rattlesnakes, together with his brothers, and performed at local theatres, but they disbanded in 1958. The name of the band was changed to Wee Johnny Hayes and the Blue Cats, however, when the family migrated to Queensland, Australia, they changed the name once again to The Bee Gees. They released their debut single “The Battle Of The Blue And The Grey” in 1963, after which they signed a record contract with Leedon Records, releasing their debut studio album “The Bee Gees Sing And Play 14 Barry Gibb Songs” in 1965, which marked the beginning of an increase of Robin’s net worth. Two years later out came their first UK No. 1 single, entitled “Massachusetts”, and by the end of the decade, they had also released such studio albums as “Spicks And Specks” (1966), “Horizontal” (1968), peaking at No. 1 in Germany, and “2 Years On” (1970), among others.

At the beginning of the 1970s, the band released the single “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart”, which peaked at No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and achieved gold certification, adding a considerable amount to Robin’s net worth. During that decade, they released several studio albums, all of which achieved platinum certification, including “Main Course” (1975), “Children Of The World” (1976), and “Spirits Having Flown” (1979).

During the next decade, they released “Living Eyes”, but without any major success, so they took a break until 1986, when they started to write and record songs for the new album entitled “ESP”, which out came in the following year, and became No. 1 in Germany and Switzerland, increasing Robin’s net worth by a large margin. Their next album, “One” was released in 1989, but their next successful album out came under the title “Still Waters” (1997), peaking at No. 2 in the UK, No. 11 in the US, and top in New Zealand and Switzerland. Moreover, the Bee Gees’ last album “This Is Where I Came In” out came in 2001, achieving five gold certifications, after which they disbanded.

Apart from his career in the band, Robin was also a solo artist; he released his debut single “Saved By The Bell”, which reached No. 2 in the UK, and his debut solo album “Robin’s Reign” in 1970. He recorded his second studio album “How Old Are You?” in 1983, with the lead single “Juliet”, which was followed by another album, “Secret Agent” (1984). In the next year out came his fifth album “Walls Have Eyes” that did not achieve any major success. In the new millennium, he released two more albums – “Magnet” (2003), and “My Favorite Christmas Carols” (2006); all of these projects contributed to his net worth.

Thanks to his accomplishments, Robin won various recognitions and awards, including induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1994 and the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. He was awarded a CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) by Queen Elizabeth II in 2001.

Regarding his personal life, Robin Gibb was married to Dwina Murphy-Gibb, an artist and author, from 1985 until his death; the couple had a son together. He was previously married to Molly Hullis (1968-1980), with whom he had two children. He also had a son with his housekeeper Claire Yang. He divided his time between his residences in Miami, Florida, and Thame, Oxfordshire. In free time, he collaborated with various charity organizations, including the Heritage Foundation, among others. He was also a President of the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers (CISAC). He passed away from colorectal cancer at the age of 62, on the 20th May 2012 in Chelsea, London, England.

• Everyone’s looking to the urban scene for inspiration now.

• We said we’d fly the flag without him and carry on. I didn’t give him a kiss because I still hadn’t accepted what was happening. I was hoping that some miracle was going to happen. Of course, it didn’t. I wish I had kissed him now.
• I hadn’t accepted he was seriously ill. The idea that someone so close to you couldn’t wake up was utterly incomprehensible. Then the doctor came in… Maurice had no brain left. There wasn’t any activity at all.
• I’m really happy that I got to work with such fresh talent. In a day when record companies are not particularly good at encouraging young, talented songwriters to come forward and get exposure, I think it’s important to give tomorrow’s songwriters the opportunity.

• You know, we’d just had a birthday, he was… you know, he still had a future out of him, and all I can is he was just one of the most beautiful people in the world… a very gifted man, and it’s a loss to the world, not just for us.
• In the beginning, Barry and I couldn’t decide if we were going got go forward with the name of the Bee Gees or just as Barry and Robin. Now we’ve decided to continue as the Bee Gees because we feel we can, and Maurice would have wanted it.
• Losing people makes you realize you’ve got to grab life – not put things off.
• I’m not a party person or someone who likes to sit and drink in clubs all night, and never really have been. I have a good time through work.

• We will pursue every factor, every element, every second of the timeline, of the final hours of Maurice’s life. We will pursue that relentlessly. That will be our quest from now on.
• As the plane got closer to Miami, I had this terrible feeling he was dying. Maybe he was telling me that he was going. I felt anger, panic, despair and helplessness.
• I’d never try to be that distinctive from the Bee Gees’ sound. I’m very proud of being a Bee Gee and am always aware that I’ll be identified as a Bee Gee.
• I don’t like lifts and will walk up 20 flights of stairs if I have to. Crowded rooms make me uncomfortable, too, although I can sing to a stadium full of thousands of people no bother.

• The Bee Gees were always heavily influenced by black music. As a songwriter, it’s never been difficult to pick up on the changing styles of music out there, and soul has always been my favourite genre.
• I don’t take things for granted, because everything feels more fragile. It’s made me wonder about mortality and how long you’ve got somebody in the world. I’m more fearful than I used to be.
• The Bee Gees, to us, was the three brothers. In Maurice’s name, we would respect that and not be the Bee Gees anymore.
• Nobody will ever take Maurice’s place, and he’ll go on with us and he’ll go on our music. He’ll go on with us as the Bee Gees, and Maurice will always be with us.
• When Maurice touched a keyboard, it was like something from a movie, magical. He would always give you something from a movie, and you’d go, what did you just play… immediately inspirational writings, amazing. That’s what we’re going to miss.
• I don’t have too much faith in destiny, or an afterlife. This is it.
• My idea of a good time is creating something and reading a good book.
• If the heart stops for more than two minutes, you have massive brain death. There are only two minutes between our conscious world and zero. That’s how fragile our consciousness is.
• I sometimes wonder if the tragedies my family has suffered are a kind of karmic price for all the fame and fortune the Bee Gees have had.
• Lots of people aren’t comfortable with silences. They feel they’ve got to fill the dead air.
• She is probably the greatest female popular singer in the modern pop rock era – since 1963, there’s been no one to match her. This includes the United States as well – they can’t come close to her. Today they just pose at singing. She was the genuine article. I don’t think there will ever be anyone that could take the place of Dusty Springfield.
