Bee Gees star Maurice Gibb has died in a Miami hospital at the age of 53. The singer had suffered a heart attack during emergency surgery for an intestinal blockage. A spokesperson for his family said he died in the Mount Sinai Medical Centre's intensive care unit about 0045 local time (0545 GMT). Gibb, together with Robin and Barry, was one of the biggest disco stars of the 1970s as part of the enduringly successful Bee Gees.
His family supported him financially and emotionally, encouraging him to go to the Betty Ford clinic in 1985. After Andy's death Barry Gibb said that if there is anything to be learned it's that nothing lasts at all.. The Bee Gees later recorded Wish You Were Here in memory of Andy. Maurice Gibb told Larry King in 2002 that their father, Hugh Gibb literally died when Andy died.. It was a guilt thing, according to Robin Gibb who told King that his father was very bitter for three years after Andy's death.
