Over 4-and-a-half minutes long, the video already accumulated over 11,000 views in just two days.
The Bee Gees' name originated after the Brothers Gibb and consisted of twin brothers Robin and Maurice as well as Barry. The iconic disco music group is well known for songs such as "Stayin' Alive," "How Deep is Your Love," and "Spirits Having Flown."

Barry was in the U.S. at the time of his brother's death Sunday. The news of Gibb's death swept across the internet and sent thousands of fans and fellow musicians into mourning.
"We have lost a truly brilliant musician today," wrote Justin Timberlake on his Twitter account. "One of my idols. My heart goes out to the Gibb family at this very sad time."
Piers Morgan posted on Twitter, "Very sad about #RobinGibb- top guy, wonderful singer, and one of Britain's greatest ever musical success stories. RIP."
"RIP Robin Gibb," posted British author Jackie Collins. "I always loved the BEE GEES. Special music."
