Bee Gees' Robin Gibb Ill, Cancels Brazil Shows Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb has canceled a series of shows in Brazil after he was taken to a British hospital with abdominal pains.A spokesman for the singer says Gibb suddenly fell ill early Sunday, and that doctors have told him not to travel while they diagnose the problem. The 61-year-old Gibb had to cancel traveling to Brazil for concerts in cities such as Sao Paolo and Brasilia. He also had to postpone a planned meeting with Brazilian President Dilm Rouseff. The singer underwent surgery for a blocked intestine last year, but his spokesman said Monday he has been in good health since then. Gibb's twin brother Maurice died in 2003 at the age of 53 due to complications from a twisted intestine.

Sorry to hear this. I hope he gets well soon.
Sidebar: I actually have something in common with Robin Gibb. I have 2 older brothers named Maurice and Barry. A true story and a complete coincidence......

Stay well Rob, the music world ain't ready to lose that extraordinary voice of yours just yet! "The Pentagon controls every word and image the American people reads or sees in mass media."

^^^ I am sorry to hear this--I hope they check his intestines...not only did that kill his brother Maurice but it also killed my Grandmother...right before they were going to operate. I wish him well. I don't want Barry to be the only sibling left...he is the oldest...that would totally suck.

And to lose his brothers so soon. He just lost Maurice eight years ago. To lose Robin would still be too close to the time Maurice died.
I just posted this video (of my favorite BG's song) partially as a memory to the Brothers Gibb:

I have this theory too many compilations can kill you
Hope he recovers soon and he and Barry might work on something new. Or at least continue remastering/expanding their back catalog. They only got until 69. | |
