Barry Gibb & Ringo Starr Have Been Knighted By Queen Elizabeth!


A Beatle and a Bee Gee are among the celebrated citizens who have been selected for knighthood and other awards given in the name of Britain's monarch. 


Britain's Cabinet Office publishes a list of the people receiving honors for merit, service or bravery twice a year: just before New Year's Eve, and on the Saturday in June when Queen Elizabeth II's birthday is officially observed. 


The New Year's Honors List made public late Friday revealed that Beatles drummer Ringo Starr and Barry Gibb, the oldest and last surviving of the brothers who made up the pop group the Bee Gees, have been tapped as knights.

Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb has passed away today aged 62.
 

The musician died after undergoing intestinal surgery and due to his long battle with cancer. 






Last month Robin's wife spoke of her joy after the Bee Gee star woke from a 12-day coma despite being given just a 10 per cent chance of survival by doctors.

Dwina Gibb, 59, had been told to start making plans for the musician’s passing as he slumped into a coma after contracting pneumonia.

However, the 62-year-old multi-millionairedefied the odds and regained consciousness as music from his Titanic Requiem played.

Mrs Gibb and her family had held a constant bedside vigil for the star - and had been playing his favourite music to try and rouse him.

And she revealed that he cried when she played him Roy Orbison’s 1962 song Crying.
