Robin Gibb was diagnosed with colon and liver cancer. He appeared to be well on the road to remission and the prognosis seemed favourable. Today, April 14, 2012, it has been announced that he is in a coma. His family are at his bedside and doctors fear he may only have days to live. 62-year-old Robin became famous as a member of the singing family the Bee Gees.

Always a slim guy recent appearances have shown Robin as gaunt, pale and skinny. Through his illness Robin has maintained a positive outlook and a determination to beat the odds. The latest reports claim that he may have a second tumour and has also developed pneumonia.

The Bee Gees rose to global fame during a career that rose, fell and rose again. With a clear tuneful voice Robin captured many hearts. Poignant at times his voice and his brothers worked as one. Sadly Maurice Gibb died a few years ago. The Bee Gee music lives on. Thoughts go the family and Robin.
