Dan Warner played guitar in Barry Gibb’s band died at 49 on Sept. 4, 2019.
South Florida guitarist Dan Warner wasn’t Latin. But when Latin music superstars like Julio Iglesias, Juanes, Marc Anthony, Ricky Martin and Sebastian Yatra needed a musician with groove — one who was in the pocket in music-speak — there was one fixture on stage with them and in the studio.
Hollywood, Florida-born Daniel Lawrence Warner.
Warner, a Grammy and four-time Latin Grammy award winner who lived in Plantation, died suddenly Wednesday of an apparent heart attack at age 49, according to friends and reports, including USA Today and from Leila Cobo, Billboard magazine’s executive director for content and programming of Latin music.
He died right after doing what he loved to do: playing music.
According to a Facebook post from his friend, Coconut Creek musician Kilmo Doome, the two had just finished jamming in a set at Fat Cats in Fort Lauderdale on Wednesday.
Warner loved playing at the venue after sessions in studios, like North Miami’s Criteria. That’s where he recorded guitar tracks for Julio Iglesias’ 1995 album, “La Carretera,” and, most recently, Marc Anthony’s May release, “Opus.”
“I was privileged to jam with one of the world’s great guitar players last night,” Doome wrote on Thursday afternoon. “We had just finished playing, and were standing at the bar talking about fat groove. His last words were, ‘groove is everything’ before he fell over on me.” When Gibb recorded his 2016 solo album, “In the Now,” at Criteria and performed concerts in support of the project, including their last gig together — Glastonbury in June 2017 — he relied on Warner, along with his son Stephen Gibb, to lay down updated licks on Bee Gees’ “Saturday Night Fever” era classics like “Stayin’ Alive,” “Jive Talkin’” and “Tragedy.”
Arguably, the hardest rocking song in Gibb’s vast catalog, “Blowin’ a Fuse,” from “In the Now,” gets its muscle from the twin guitar and surf riff grooves played by Warner and the younger Gibb.
“We are all devastated by the loss of Dan Warner,” Barry Gibb said on Facebook. “The gentle giant, the brilliant musician, and my friend. I’d like to join his wife, his family, and our gang in paying my respects. Dan wasn’t one of the best, he really was the best! We love you Dan!”

Bee Gees star Robin Gibb's widow writes biography without mentioning his affair
Bee Gees star Robin Gibb's widow writes biography without mentioning his affair (not official confirmed yet)
Robin recorded hours of material for an autobiography on micro cassette tapes before he died, aged 62, in 2012.Now his widow Dwina is using the tapes to write the book for Robin, who had a hit with the Night Fever in 1977.
There will be anecdotes, there will be revelations, after all he had a very tough childhood and he worked with them all.”
Speaking at the launch of TV director Rosemary Reed’s new Sky show, The Power of Women, at London members’ club The Ned, 66-year-old Dwina said: “I’m quarter of the way through.
“I already have an agent. I can’t say what’s on the tapes, as that would spoil it, but it’s going to be good."
But there will be one taboo subject. In his last eight years, Robin had an affair with their housekeeper, Claire Yang, which produced a child, Snow, now aged 11.
Robin left most of his £25.8million estate to Dwina, who was his second wife.
Claire was left a £800,000 house.
Meanwhile it's been reported that the Bee Gees’ lives are set to be turned into a Hollywood film.
Movie bosses including Steven Spielberg and Richard Curtis have already tried and failed to make a biopic about the three brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb.
But Dwina said: “Our film is in the bag. We want to get the right writers. We are in discussions.
"We have to get agreements from the three families – Barry, Yvonne (Maurice’s widow) and myself. It’ll be interesting.”
The film is expected to chart their rise from child performers in the 1950s, to a Beatles-inspired pop trio in the 1960s and disco kings in the 1970s.

Jason Isbell Joins Barry Gibb In The Studio
Country-rock star Jason Isbell has been busy lately. He’s been backing
up the Highwomen, his wife’s country supergroup. He’s been helping Sheryl Crow cover Bob Dylan. He’s been inspiring delightful memes
about mass shootings and feral hogs. And apparently, he’s been singing
with disco royalty. Recently, for reasons unknown, Isbell went into the
studio with one of the biggest stars of the ’70s: Barry Gibb, from the
motherfucking Bee Gees.
On Instagram yesterday, Isbell posted a picture of himself at work with Gibb. Isbell didn’t say what they might have been recording, but he did say that he and Gibb sang together — in harmony, even: “It was a great honor, and also terrifying because in order to sing with Barry Gibb, you have to sing. With Barry Gibb. At one point I had the high harmony part. He was standing right in front of me. Sir Barry Gibb.” Isbell, you may have noticed, is not a natural falsetto. It is going to be fascinating to hear what comes out of this.
