On the Hollywood Walk of Fame there's a sense of loss among fans over the death of Bee Gee Robin Gibb.
The singer, who'd been fighting colon and liver cancer, died on Sunday, aged 62.
SOUNDBITE: DAVE KENNEDY FROM BARRIE, ONTARIO, CANADA, SAYING (English):
"I just found out as I walked up here and I know he was quite ill for some time ."
SOUNDBITE: TAWNJA MABRY FROM CALIFORNIA SAYING (English):
"It's a great loss but we all must go."
SOUNDBITE: JEAN-LOUIS ROBICHAUD FROM NEW BRUNSWICK, CANADA, SAYING (English):
"We're a great fan of the Bee Gees and it's sad to hear when anybody passes.
In Australia too, where Gibb and his brothers once lived and where the Bee Gees as a band was officially born, there were fond memories.
SOUNDBITE: JEFF CLARRIS, SYDNEY RESIDENT, SAYING (English):
"They lived at Cribb Island which was a bit of a poorer area and you could imagine that because they were immigrants from England, and it's very hard to go to another country and just become rich."
SOUNDBITE: DONNA THOMPSON, SYDNEY RESIDENT, SAYING (English):
"It's just so sad because when you think about all the Gibb brothers, you know, you go back to Andy and he didn't have a long life, and then neither did Maurice, and neither has Robin."
SOUNDBITE: CANADIAN TOURIST AND FORMER SYDNEY RESIDENT, DAVID FOSTER, SAYING (English):
"They were actually a pub band up in Kings Cross at one time then, the Bee Gees and they had a much nicer...it was more of a folky sound."
The death of Gibb, who'd also had a successful solo career, was announced by his family in a statement on his official website.
