I have had a few condolence calls today from my friends and family wondering how I was doing since the Bee Gees' music has been such a big part of my life since the mid-70's. My deepest condolences to all the Gibbs , but also a deep thank you to them for giving us such a wonderful gift..the gift of their music and lyrics to help us all get through life. Now that this "era" of the three brothers recording and performing has come to an abrubt ending, we can all find solace in their words and music and appreciate how incredible their careers have truly been over the past 4 decades. They will live on with us in their music. Maurice was such a talent and contributing factor to most of their work, he will be sadly and very much missed. I was fortunate to see them perform live twice (79 & 89) and even more fortunate to meet all 3 brothers back in 94. Their love and devotion to their music and the way they respected and treated all their fans have left a wonderful memorable impression on me. Again, this is such a sad and unexpected loss, but Maurice and the Bee Gees have given us so much to continue to enjoy them by through their music. Again, my deepest condolences to all the Gibbs and especially Barry and Robin..I'm sure they will find the strength to get through this very difficult time. And my condolences to any fan who is feeling such a great loss as well.....The "Bee Gees" as a group has been such a constant in my life for the past 30 years and I am sure a constant in many fans lives. With deepest sympathy and sadness...

That may have been true at one point in his life but does anyone here think of Maurice that way? I think of him as a ball of energy - a funny, talented, kind, very upbeat guy - in love with life and living it to the fullest. Sharon >>>>I was upset over that statement too. They could have put it another way because they were probably referring to his alcohol problem and how in the past, many years past, it was a big problem. You describe him perfectly, full of energy, upbeat, etc. He was probably the most gregarious person I ever met. I wish they had not said it the way they did. --part1_161.1a04b9a0.2b533701_boundary-- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Jan 2003 13:36:51 -0800 From: "Full Spectrum Records" Subject: Re: Digest (01/12/2003 04:53) Special Issue (#2003-3475) There is the possibility that they KNEW Maurice had an eventually serious chronic condition (don't we all), but didn't expect an ACUTE episode. However, it is so easy to look at things and read into them things that may not be, like why was Mo out front in the video to the single TIWICI during one section, looking like he was singing, but it's Barry's voice that seems to be singing. As to sense of finale, was that them, or us? ALL direct statements on the matter indicated they would continue, not stop. It seemed to me Barry was getting energized, as was Robin, and Mo was waiting for things to get ready for his part. Then again, if you've done nothing else but music since you were little kids, often under pressure (financial & otherwise), perhaps you want to do a few other things while not shutting the door on music. Maurice's fascination with paintball may have been trying to re-capture a somewhat missed childhood, once music took over. Maybe Barry will now open a Silly Putty Superstore, and Robin will start a few more fires, while ringing people's doorbell's and running. Once they get that out of them, they'll come back and record some more.

On his tour he stopped and chatted with one of my fellow workmates, slapped him on the back and told him to keep up the good work. That sounded like typical Maurice, outgoing and fun, even with those that weren't necessarily fans.
