  Yes, very sad. And from other news i heard today, it's probably not going to be too long before Robin Gibb joins her in the Big Room in the sky. :cool:

  I heard about this, and I'm very sorry to hear about it. I regret that I wasn't familiar with her music while she was still with us, though I am going to learn about her music.
  
  May she RIP.
