Bee Gees to be honoured

In the '70s, they sang the soundtrack for the disco scene with hits including "You Should Be Dancing" and "Stayin' Alive." Now, the Bee Gees are being honoured as icons at BMI's 55th annual Pop Awards.

The awards will be presented May 15.

The Bee Gees, short for the Brothers Gibb, included twins Maurice and Robin, and older brother Barry. Maurice Gibb died in January 2003 after emergency surgery for an intestinal blockage. He was 53.

Their younger brother, Andy Gibb, who had a successful solo career, died in 1988 at age 30 of a heart ailment. The Bee Gees were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.
