Robin Gibb in coma

[Locutus]

Bee Gee Robin Gibb is in a coma after suffering from pneumonia, his official website says.

He has been recovering from cancer in recent months, but was too ill to attend a performance of his new work a few days ago.
"We are all hoping and praying that he will pull through," his website said.

In February, Gibb, 62, said he had been making a "spectacular" recovery from cancer but he was later readmitted to hospital for intestinal surgery.

The message on his homepage added: "Because of this situation, Robin's website is temporarily unavailable. Sorry for any inconvenience."

Gibb's family have been keeping vigil at his bedside at a hospital in Chelsea, west London, the Press Association reports.

Unfortunately, I don't think he's long for this world. He looks a lot like Jack Layton did near the end.

See, I don't care for the falsetto disco crap, but their earlier stuff, when they actually sang and had a more folksy feel was pretty good.

Bee Gee Robin Gibb's recovery 'confounds' doctors

The singer's physician Dr Andrew Thillainayagam said he was conscious, lucid and talking to his loved ones, at The London Clinic in central London.

He said the "exhausted" star had shown "extraordinary courage, iron will and deep reserves of physical strength".

Gibb, 62, fell into a coma last week after contracting pneumonia in his battle against colon and liver cancer.

Dr Thillainayagam of Imperial College said his patient had "responded extremely well" to treatments by his team of surgeons.
