Robin Gibb has died aged 62

Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb has passed away today aged 62.

The musician died after undergoing intestinal surgery and due to his long battle with cancer.

'The family of Robin Gibb, of the Bee Gees, announce with great sadness that Robin passed away today following his long battle with cancer and intestinal surgery. The family have asked that their privacy is respected at this very difficult time,' family spokesman Doug Wright said.2 g, u$ o- ?# L% s7 C% b

Fears for the star’s health were first raised last year when he appeared looking gaunt on a TV show to promote his single for Poppy Day.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb' g5 t$ k5 ~* e1 Z' K3 {

But Mr Gibb tried to allay any rumours about his health after admitting he had cancer – but claiming he had beaten it, saying doctors had told him: ‘It’s gone, they’ve told me they can’t see it no more, I’ve done it.’

Following a relapse last month, his wife Dwina, 59, spoke of her joy after the singer woke from a 12-day coma despite being given just a 10 per cent chance of survival by doctors.

She had been told to start making plans for the musician’s passing as he slumped into a coma after contracting pneumonia.

But Mr Gibb defied the odds and regained consciousness as music from his Titanic Requiem played.  . W7 k8 X+ P% `( n: A# c

Mr Gibb had surgery on his bowel 19 months ago for an unrelated condition, but a tumour was discovered and he was diagnosed with cancer of the colon and, subsequently, of the liver.

It had been thought his cancer was in remission as early as last month, but the latest deterioration in his health coincides with reports of a secondary tumour.

Mr Gibb’s twin brother and bandmate Maurice died from the same bowel condition that initially led doctors to operate on him.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb% I# X7 S( G: B9 ?) A

Mr Gibb was married twice, to Molly Hullis, a secretary in the organisation of impresario Robert Stigwood, from 1968 to 1980, then to Dwina Murphy-Gibb, an author and artist. He had two children, Spencer and Melissa, from his first marriage, and a son, Robin-John, from his second.

He famously had an ‘accepting’ marriage with Dwina, which survived the star fathering a daughter with their housekeeper, Claire Yang.TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。& \7 S  v" M" |& h8 T
