LONDON, May 16 (UPI) -- Pop icon Robin Gibb says British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is a huge fan of the music Gibb has recorded with his band the Bee Gees.

"He listens to our music every day. He said, 'Your music is absolutely timeless.' Gordon likes our music and I like Gordon," Gibb told The Times of London.

The singer went on to say Brown particularly liked the songs "Stayin' Alive," "Tragedy" and "How Deep Is Your Love?" "because they talk about human relationships and human experience and reach out across the decades."

The Daily Telegraph said Brown also revealed last year that he was a fan British acts such as Coldplay, Leona Lewis and the Arctic Monkeys.
