Remembering Colin Petersen: The Original Bee Gees Drummer

Colin Petersen, the original drummer for the Bee Gees, died at 78. He played on early hits like 'To Love Somebody' and was the band's first non-Gibb member. Petersen's unique drumming style contributed to the band's early success. His death closely follows that of Dennis Bryon, another Bee Gees drummer. Petersen's career also included acting in films like 'Smiley.' He joined tribute bands later and was still active in music until recently. With his passing, Barry Gibb remains the last surviving Gibb brother.
