On 5 November 1967, when he was 17 years old and the Bee Gees had just had a hit with "Massachusetts", he and his fiancée (later his wife) Molly were on board a train that derailed with 49 deaths at Hither Green, south of London, England, UK. He stood up to pull the communication cord and very narrowly escaped being decapitated by a piece of rail that came through the train window.

In 1966 they relocated back to the UK and landed a recording contract with Polydor. Chart success followed in the UK and USA. In the late 60s, tensions arose in the band, and Robin briefly left to pursue a solo career, but the group reunited and continued having success, including switching to a more disco sound.

It was in Australia that the band first tasted success, topping the charts there in 1965 with 'Spicks and Specks'.

The family moved for some time to Manchester, England before emigrating to Australia in 1958. During their childhood, Robin, Maurice and Barry began performing together. They played under various band names, but finally settled on The Bee Gees.
