Quiet service for Bee Gee

With emotional words but no music, family and friends paid final tribute to Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees.

Maurice's twin brother, Robin, widow Yvonne and children Adam and Samantha, who are in their 20s, were among mourners at the private service at Riverside Funeral Chapel in Miami Beach.

Older brother Barry, 55, arrived at the chapel with pop superstar Michael Jackson some time after the service ended.

Maurice Gibb, 53, was rushed to a hospital last week and suffered cardiac arrest before undergoing surgery for a blocked intestine.

A pastor introduced the low-key service, but otherwise it was non-religious, with no music, just quiet and sometimes emotional words spoken by a string of family and friends, said one mourner.
