The Bee Gees were a British–Australian pop group.
For most of its history, the band consisted of three brothers all of whom were born on the Isle of Man, a British Crown Dependency.
The  brothers, Barry Gibb (born 1 September 1946), and twins Maurice Gibb (22 December 1949 – 12 January 2003) and Robin Gibb (22 December 1949 – 20 May 2012), started singing at a young age when living in Manchester.
In the late 1960s, the band briefly expanded to include Australian born Vince Melouney and Colin Petersen.
When the band reformed a couple of years after splitting in 1969, Australian born Geoff Bridgford briefly became a member.
The Bee Gees existed for almost 40 years They are most famous for their album, Saturday Night Fever, the soundtrack for the movie of the same name.
They stopped performing after Maurice died.

In 2012 Robin died.
They had a younger brother, Andy Gibb (1958–1988), who was also a singer.
Group history
The Gibb brothers were born on the Isle of Man, then lived in Manchester, England, before moving to Australia in 1958.
It was in Australia that the Bee Gees' band was formed.
In January 1967, the Gibb brothers returned to England where their band the Bee Gees started to become internationally famous.
In 1967, Colin Petersen and Vince Melouney joined the band but by the end the decade both had left and the brothers themselves had briefly gone their separate ways, only to reform in 1970.

It has been their home since they were created 18 years ago.
The group is similar to Who's Line is it Anyway?,
Comedy Store Players, and Keith Johnstone in that they use short improvised games.
They have taken part in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival almost every year since they were formed.
Also they have played every Friday night during the school year (as their main audience is Edinburgh University students).
Because they are always in Bedlam Theatre, the theatre technicians improvise the sounds, music and lights along with the scenes the performers are doing.
The sounds can be loud and annoying at times.
The technicians show off their very big iTunes library of songs and sound effects.
British 80's children's programmes' themes  are a favourite of theirs.
Past players have gone on to many different things.
They have created an improv group in London, joined the Stand Players' "Who's Lunch is it anyway" free improv show at Edinburgh's The Stand comedy venue and become successful stand up comedians.
Some have starred in British sitcoms, television dramas, movies and popular children's programmes

Taipei 101 () is 101-floor building in Taipei, Republic of China (Taiwan).
In 2004, it replaced the Willis Tower (which used to be called the Sears Tower) as the tallest completed building in the world.
However, in 2010, it was surpassed by the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
Ground to structural top: 509 m (1,671 ft).
The record was formerly held by the Petronas Twin Towers at 452 m (1,483 ft)
Ground to roof: 449 m (1,474 ft).
The record was formerly held by the Sears Tower at 442 m (1,451 ft)
Ground to highest occupied floor: 439 m (1,441 ft).
The record was formerly held by the Sears Tower
Fastest elevator speed: 16.83 m/s (37.5 miles/hour or 60.4 km/h)
Largest count-down clock on New Year's Eve
Taipei 101 does not hold the record for tallest building from ground to pinnacle.
The Sears Tower has two television antennas on top of it, making its height from the ground to the top of the taller antenna 527 m (1,729 ft).
Effect on Taipei's economy
Taipei 101 is the recognized symbol of Taipei city, it brings a lot of tourists every day.
The location of Taipei 101 is at the southern end of the Xinyi District, the newest area of Taipei city.
Besides the tower, the base of the building houses includes a multi-level shopping mall, food court, various restaurants and stores, and an global grocery store.
Every New Year's Eve, Taipei 101 is host to an impressive fireworks display that attracts people from all over Taiwan and other neighboring countries like Japan and Singapore to the area.
Observatory Information
The Taipei 101 Observatory is open every day from 9AM to 10PM.
The observatory is spread over 4 floors where visitors can enjoy the fantastic scenery and learn about the engineering marvel that is Taipei 101, the tallest green building in the world.
Visitors can buy the tickets on the 5F Taipei 101 Mall, the general ticket costs NT$500 per each and the student ticket (with valid ID) costs NT$450 per each, all children (under 115 cm) are free.
After purchasing the tickets, visitors may take the Guinness World Record breaking high-speed elevator to the observatory on the 89TH floor.
The 88th floor is the Beauty of Taiwan Multimedia Corridor, Super Big Wind Damper, Treasure Sky, the hallway connecting the two decks is designed to setting the natural beauty of Taiwan, providing 270-degree views of well-known scenic locations in Taiwan, leading to the engineering marvel known as a wind damper, a 5.5 meters diameter, 660 ton weight suspended within the building to offset the force of wind and help 101 stand upright.
Also included is Treasury Sky, a collection of unique jewel crafts.
The 91st floor is an outdoor Observatory.
The outdoor observatory is accessible by stairs from the 89th floor.
From the outside, it's possible to view the spire at the 508-meter-high apex, but tourists need to be careful of the strong winds.
Inside the building, on the 91F, is a small theater showcasing films about the building and the annual New Year fireworks display.
The 91st floor is only open on days with good weather conditions.
Survive ways from earthquake and typhoons
Taipei 101 has some of the most modern safety security of anything ever built, requiring a challenging combination of strength and flexibility, which allow it to withstand winds up to 216 km/h (134 mph), and earthquakes of a magnitude of 9.0.
It has higher safer ratings than Taiwan’s nuclear power plants.
The "double stairstep" design reduce the potentially dangerous oscillations caused by high winds by about 30-40%, allowing the structure to stand, even under the force of relentless typhoons.
And by now, they’ve become a recognizable design element of the structure.
