Two Bee Gees Drummers Die Within Days
Briefly

Dennis Bryon, starting in 1973, contributed greatly to the Bee Gees' evolution, while Colin Smiley Petersen, their first drummer, played on significant early hits.
Colin Petersen's passing, attributed to a fall, marks the end of an era as he played on iconic tracks like 'Massachusetts' and 'Words,' shaping the band early on.
Both drummers not only anchored the band's rhythm across two distinct eras of music, but also left a palpable legacy within the Bee Gees' storied history.
The Bee Gees, known for their hit-making ballads and disco hits, saw their early and disco eras defined by the valuable contributions of drummers Bryon and Petersen.
