In a heartbreaking turn of events, the music world mourns the loss of two legendary drummers from the Bee Gees, with Dennis Bryon passing away just four days before fellow drummer Colin Petersen. Petersen, who was the original drummer for the group, sadly died on November 18 at the age of 78. Just days earlier, Bryon, who performed with the iconic disco band from 1974 to 1980, died on November 14 at 75.

The news of Bryon's passing was shared by his bandmates from Amen Corner, who expressed their deep sorrow on social media. Blue Weaver posted a heartfelt message, saying, "I am lost for words at the moment. Dennis has passed away. Kayte, Dennis’s wife, has just called me and asked if I would let all friends and fans know... His great drumming will always Stay Alive." Andy Fairweather Low, another close friend, remembered him as a "fabulous drummer and friend" and highlighted Bryon's incredible talent for making curries and his significant contributions to music.

Dennis Bryon’s musical journey began at a young age when he co-founded Amen Corner at just 17 years old. The band achieved fame with hits like "Bend Me, Shape Me" and "High In The Sky." Following their split in 1969, Bryon went on to join the Bee Gees after a recommendation from lead guitarist Alan Kendall, becoming part of the legendary group during their most prolific years. He played a crucial role in their success, which included nine number one singles.

Colin Petersen also had a remarkable career, not only as the Bee Gees' drummer but also in other projects, including acting in the Australian film "Smiley," from which he earned his nickname. His contributions to the Bee Gees' early albums, including "1st," "Horizontal," and "Odessa," left a lasting impact on the music industry. Petersen departed the group during the recording of "Cucumber Castle" and was replaced by Terry Cox.

These losses come amidst a backdrop of previous tragedies within the Bee Gees family; Robin Gibb passed away in 2012 at 62, and Maurice Gibb died in 2003 at 53. The Bee Gees' legacy continues to resonate through their timeless music, and their tribute acts, such as "The Best Of The Bee Gees," who confirmed Petersen's death, carry on their incredible story.

The passing of both Bryon and Petersen not only marks the end of an era for the Bee Gees but also serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact these musicians had on the world of music. Their rich contributions to the industry will never be forgotten. Fans are encouraged to remember their legacy by celebrating their influential music during this difficult time.
