Controversial Hollywood veteran John Travolta expressed sadness over the recent death of his good friend, Robin Gibb, a member of the famous singing group, the Bee Gees.

Travolta said Gibb was a wonderful friend to him through the years. The actor and Gibb became friends when the Bee Gees composed the soundtrack for the 1977 blockbuster movie, Saturday Night Fever.

Saturday Night Fever is the film that launched John Travolta’s acting career. The actor is currently at the center of a controversy in the wake of a sexual assault allegation made against him. The death of Gibb is a huge loss to the music industry.
