Today marks the end of the Bee Gees forever.

The only other occasions when something has affected me this immensely was when Andy passed away and when I learned how my father had passed away. The Gibb brothers music has been *the* most important thing in my life and has been with me through both hard times and good times. They have become as close to my heart as my own family and the loss of Maurice is devastating. I didn't think I would see this day come as soon as it did.

His excitement, family support, and love of people comes through so vividly as I read how he gave away shirts and talked with people of all ages.

There may be several albums worth of new material in the vault as well. And yes, Maurice may have been the glue in some ways, but at times, like the Fever years, was certainly less than that. It will be totally up to Barry & Robin. It will not be impossible to do a great show without Maurice, just very sad. It would be next-to-impossible without either Barry or Robin. Maurice's contribution was great, and perhaps during the writing, indispensable. But to go out and perform, and have many songs not suffer to any great degree, it could be done by Barry & Robin. Let Barry & Robin write the Bee Gees obituary, when they're ready. They may not be ready. This may arouse something in them. They may want to end it on other terms.

Funny how you can grow to care for people you haven't met. I am crying inside cos I know that I have lost a good friend who did not realise that he had a friend in me. Maurice was the glue of the Bee Gees, any which way you look at it. Whatever his contributions musically, he held them together through crisis and failures that they have suffered and he was the one who always had a smile and always had good and generous things to say about the others. The Bee Gees are greater contributors to music, as a team, and Maurice helped keep the team. With his departure I see the Bee Gees passing into history. It will never be the same again. A part of my life ended today, a part that I had been so happy about and had taken for granted all these years. Y > > > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!

It seems reasonable to think they have unfinished new material and/or finished unreleased material. Whatever. You know what I mean.

I'm sure you all experienced the same emotions that I did upon first reading the news - a stunned feeling of disbelief, shock, sadness, & deep loss. Earlier in the day I was quite hopeful that he would recover, but as I read the news stories throughout the evening - possible brain damage, large part of stomach & intestines removed, on a respirator, not responding - I began to get a sinking feeling & knew the situation was very grim. Those of us who are fans going back to the early days are in our 40's + now, and as each day passes we become more mindful of how short life is, how precious time is, & how important it is to be doing with our lives what is really important. So many of our generation have left us - George Harrison & John Entwistle recently, also. All of us of all ages will cherish the joy that the brothers have given us throughout the decades - we are so fortunate that they gave us so much music for so many years. Maurice left us too soon, but he lived his life to its fullest doing what he loved most, sharing his gift with us all, deeply loved by family, friends, and fans. We can learn much from that. My deepest sympathies to all of the Gibb family, with thoughts and prayers from us all to help them cope with such a devastating loss.

I am forever grateful for all that he gave to so many people....the music, the humor, the love. There is an empty spot in my heart that will always be there. I'm still in shock. This seems so unreal. He was taken from us so soon. My prayers go out to Yvonne, Adam, Samantha, Barbara, Barry, and Robin. I'll always love you Maurice.
