Two members of the legendary British pop band Bee Gees died four days apart. On November 14, the life of musician Dennis Bryon was cut short, and on November 18, Colin Petersen passed away.

Dennis Bryon

Dennis Bryon passed away at the age of 76. His close friend Derek John Weaver, also known as Blue Weather, confirmed the loss on his Facebook page.

"I am at a loss for words right now. Dennis is dead. Kate, Dennis' wife, just called me and asked me to tell all his friends and fans. It was such a shock. Dennis was my friend since we played together in our first band at 15 years old. His great drumming will always live on," the man wrote.

The artist was born on April 14, 1949, in the capital of Wales, Cardiff. The star began his musical career at a fairly young age, so he was able to achieve success quickly. At the age of 17, he co-founded the band Amen Corner. The band has created many hits, the most popular of which are "Bend Me, Shape Me" and "High in the Sky".

In 1973, Dennis Bryon joined the legendary Bee Gees. Until 1980, he played drums on all of the band's studio recordings, television broadcasts, and tours. During this time, the popular songs "Stayin' Alive", "How Deep Is Your Love", "You Should Be Dancing" and "More Than a Woman" were created.

Colin Petersen

According to Metro, Colin Petersen's heart stopped at the age of 78. The tragic news was confirmed by the tribute band The Best of the Bee Gees.

"It is with heartbreak that we announce the passing of our legend, Colin Petersen. He passed away on Monday, November 18, 2024. He was a beloved member of the band, captivating our audiences with his stories about his starring role in the iconic Australian film Smiles, his time as a drummer in the original Bee Gees, and his regular appearances on Best of the Bee Gees for the past five years," the band wrote.

The star was the first drummer of the legendary band and played an important role in its popularity, The Mirror writes. With his participation, the band created famous hits, including "To Love Somebody" and "Words".

Colin Petersen's creative career began not with musical manifestations, but with acting. At a young age, he played in the films The Scamp, Scream from the Streets, and Barney.
