Something wrong?The middle Gibb brother - twin to Robin, younger than Barry - held the Bee Gees together from the inside: bass, keyboards, arrangement ideas, and the occasional lead vocal that reminded you he could step front if he wanted to.

Maurice Gibb started at five, joining a skiffle group in Manchester in 1955 that became the Rattlesnakes, then the Bee Gees in 1958 after the family moved to Australia. He and his brothers returned to England and rode the wave to worldwide fame, with Maurice anchoring the sound while Barry and Robin took most of the spotlight. During the group's 1969-1970 split he cut a solo single, "Railroad"; a full album, The Loner, was recorded but never released. He sang lead on a handful of album tracks across the decades - "Lay It on Me", "Country Woman", "On Time" - proof he could carry a song when given the room. In 2002 the Bee Gees were appointed CBEs for their contribution to music. Maurice died unexpectedly in January 2003; his son collected the honour at Buckingham Palace the following year.
