Bee Gees Star Dead at 78
Bee Gees legend Colin “Smiley” Petersen died on Monday, a tribute band for the group revealed. He was 78 years old. “He enriched our lives and bound our group with love, care and respect,” the announcement from the Best of Bee Gees read. “Not sure how we can go on without his glowing smile and deep friendship. We love you Col. Rest in Peace.” Petersen, who played a pivotal role in the group’s early success, was the band’s original drummer. Among some of the classic hits he was a contributor to are Massachusetts, To Love Somebody, and Words. Prior to his music career, Petersen was a child actor, starring in the Australian film Smiley. His role in the movie earned him his lifelong nickname. In the 1960s, Petersen became the first non-Gibbs brother to join the Bee Gees. His drumming, during the band’s early years, was seen as essential to the Bee Gee’s sound. Petersen is survived by his ex-wife Joanne and their sons Jaime and Ben.
