Robin Gibb Tributes: Tony Blair, Liam Gallagher + Others Honor Bee Gees Great

The tributes are rolling in for Bee Gees great Robin Gibb, who died yesterday (May 20) at the age of 62 following a long battle with cancer. Among those who have honored the late singer and songwriter are Justin Timberlake, Stevie Nicks, Bryan Adams, Liam Gallagher and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

"Robin was not only an exceptional and extraordinary musician and songwriter, he was a highly intelligent, interested and committed human being," said Blair, according to the BBC. "He was a great friend with a wonderful open and fertile mind and a student of history and politics. I will miss him very much. My thoughts and prayers are with [his wife] Dwina and all the family."

It was a sentiment echoed by Timberlake, who big-upped the Bee Gee via Twitter.

"We have lost a truly brilliant musician today," the singer and actor tweeted. "One of my idols. My heart goes out to the Gibb family in this time of sorrow...RIP Robin."

"RIP Robin Gibb," said Nicks. "The soundtrack of my wonder years is vaporizing one artist at a time with these iconic musical losses lately."

Adams, who just days ago weighed in on the passing of Donna Summer, again took to Twitter to express his grief.

"Very sad to hear about yet another great singer dying too young," the Canadian rocker tweeted.

Former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher put things more succinctly, tweeting, "ROBIN GIBB LEGEND LG."
