Dennis Bryon was an integral part of the Bee Gees’ lineup from 1973 to 1981, contributing to their iconic sound during a pivotal era in their career. Fellow musician Blue Weaver, who played with Dennis in the Welsh rock group Amen Corner, shared the heartbreaking news on Facebook, expressing his shock and sadness:

“I am lost for words at the moment… Dennis has passed away. His great drumming will always Stay Alive.”

Weaver also shared that Dennis’s wife, Kayte, had asked him to inform fans and friends of the tragic news.
