The New Robin Gibb Album is real good, I would suggest to any one to buy it, they won't be sorry.
Al Broderick
I can find no evidence of a bootleg album entitled Robin's Brain. I suspect this is a hoax and I have therefore removed the information. Jud 13:33, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
What's the deal with Robin holding his right ear when he sings? The photo shows a hearing aid. KriZe 22:04, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Just for the record - as noted in my edits, I have some concerns about the sentence calling Dwina a "bisexual Druid". I think it could raise BLP questions, but User: 62.64.221.168 said in an edit summary that "she was quite open and positive about it. -reported in many news outlets". I'd suggest throwing in a citation to that effect, in case others have the same concern as I do. And you might consider asking someone from the WP:BLP project to take a look at this, but that's just a thought. Tvoz |talk 23:56, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
"Dwina is the second-cousin-once-removed of Hannah Crory." There's no reference for this, and Hannah Crory is not a person of interest to anyone, based on my Google search. Unless someone can convince me that this fact is interesting, relevant, and true, I plan to delete it. dangold (talk) 05:10, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
This is SUCH a clean-cut article, with no mention at all of "open marriages" or "illegitamate children." Wow...has any other celebrity bio been so sanitized? lol 65.248.164.99 (talk) 20:46, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
Image:A Lover's Prayer.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 04:07, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I thought Robin was born thereTomcat96 (talk) 14:27, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
With the media on death watch and by the looks of things some reverting already required due to false/premature reports, I suggest the article be locked down for the time being. I'm surprised it's still open for non-registered editing. (Yeah I know, what am I? In my case I'm an admin editing as an IP as part of a protest unrelated to this article, if anyone cares.) 70.72.223.215 (talk) 21:50, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
To be consistant should Robin be referred to as Robin instaed of Gibb? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.192.112.70 (talk) 01:59, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
This article said he was diagnosed both with colon cancer and liver cancer. However, later on it says he suffered from advanced colorectal cancer. The Daily Mirror article linked to that indicates "liver cancer" does not give any details or links... I strongly suspect his colon cancer had metastasized to the liver - which was incorrectly reported as liver cancer, instead of [colon cancer] mets to the liver. The chances of being diagnosed with two different kinds of cancer briefly after each other surely are low and would warrant much more news coverage with more details.
Could the part on liver cancer be reworded to "cancer in the liver"? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.248.13.148 (talk) 18:39, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
Who is Janno Gibb? In the last section it says that he is survived by his brother Janno Gibb, yet it mentions nowhere in his early life that there was a Janno Gibb nor does it say anything on Janno Gibbs wikipedia page that he was related--Mjs1991 (talk) 02:00, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
I agree this is a case of vandalism. FYI, Janno Gibb is a famous celebrity in the Philippines. Is it possible that this article be semi-protected so that vandalism will be minimized? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.5.167.156 (talk) 03:33, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
Does not belong in the lead paragraphs, really. This will probably happen eventually, in any case, but it might as well happen as soon as possible. Anarchangel (talk) 19:53, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
What is the relevance of "[died] three days after another disco legend, Donna Summer"? I know it is true, but why is it important? Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 04:12, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
There's nothing in this article about Robin's "trademark" method of monitoring his vocal by cupping his hand over his ear so he could hear himself better. In fact, I can't find an interview where he mentions this and few articles state -why- he did it, only that he did it. If someone can find a citation for it, it should be mentioned in the article with the necessary citation as it was a big part of who he was. Obviously, this was before in-ear monitors were available.-68.207.148.21 (talk) 22:10, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Didn't he have a sister, Lesley Gibb? She should be listed as a relative. She toured with the Bee Gees for a bit. Ds77 (talk) 20:44, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
