Bee Gees Barry and Robin Gibb have been talking to the media about the sad death of their brother Maurice yesterday following a heart attack on Thursday. Speaking to the BBC the Gibb’s questioned the treatment their brother had received at the Mount Sinai Medical Centre, saying they were perplexed as to how their brother had been admitted with a stomach blockage - and then apparently died from another illness.
Beginning by saying they were "devastated" and "completely pole-axed" by the loss of the "most sweetest, generous" man, the brothers said they would be seeking a full report of the events that led up to Maurice’s death: "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."
Barry went on to confirm he and his brother intended to continue making music as the Bee Gees. "Maurice will be a void, always in our lives and he will always be featured as the third member of the Bee Gees, no matter what we do. But one thing I will tell you is that the Bee Gees will go on. The Bee Gees will not stop here. The Bee Gees will not disintegrate because we've lost Mo."
