Death of a Bee Gees Group Member



Maurice Gibb, one of the three brothers who formed the Bee Gees, died last Sunday, on the 22nd day. Michael had visited him in the hospital a few days earlier. His death was very unexpected for his friends and relatives, because everyone thought he would successfully get through this heart attack. Michael was among the first people to send a message of condolence to his family. The funeral service for Maurine was held yesterday at Riveride Grdon Funeral Chapel on the Miami coast. Michael, along with Barry Gibb, arrived more than an hour after the end of the ceremony to pray for Maurine. Michael has been a longtime friend of Barry Gibb and his family, and he is also the godfather of one of the Gibb brothers’ children. A spokesperson for the family said that Barry was so depressed and upset that he couldn’t attend the ceremony, and that is why, after the ceremony, he and Michael prayed together in private.
