The iconic Bee Gees singer slipped into a coma on Friday and doctors fear he has days to live. Robin-John, known as RJ for short, said: 'My dad has had a hard recovery from cancer. 'When you get rid of the cancer a lot of periphery problems can occur. This is so sad.' He told The People that everyone the family were 'praying' for a recovery and that he felt honoured to be living in his father's shadow. RJ added: 'If people say that I’m living in my *father’s shadow, all I can say is what a great shadow that is to be living in.' The 62-year-old star made a recovery from liver and colon cancer this year, but doctors believe a second tumor may be present. He has also developed pneumonia. His wife Dwina, brother Barry, 65, daughter Melissa, 37, and sons Spencer, 39, and RJ, 29, have been keeping vigil at his bedside at a private hospital in Chelsea, West London. A family friend told the The Sun: 'Our prayers are with Robin. he has kept so positive and always believed he could beat this. Sadly, it looks like he has developed pneumonia, which is very bad in his situation. 'If there is anyone you would put money on pulling through such a dire situation, it would be Robin because he is a fighter. But this is a battle he will struggle to win.' Robin revealed his battle with cancer in October 2010. Height of fame: Robin, right and his late twin brother Maurice, left, and older brother Barry performing in 1979 He had emergency surgery to treat a blocked bowel, before a further operation to treat a twisted bowel. Colon cancer was then discovered and it spread to his liver. His twin brother Maurice died of complications resulting from a twisted intestine in 2003, aged 53. Robin famously appeared on the Alan Titchmarsh Show looking pale and gaunt and has cancelled a handful of appearance over the past two years because of his health. Barry Gibb earlier this week jetted into the UK from Tennessee to join other members of the family. His brother's arrival this week comes after his nephew - Robin's son RJ - described the overwhelming moment the family learned that the Bee Gees star was in remission from cancer. Robin-John revealed that he was sitting next to his famous father in his hospital bed when the doctor told them the happy news. '[B]I leant over the bed and I kissed him on the forehead and just said, "I love you[/B]",' RJ told the Mirror.

But we’ve worked hard for everything we’ve achieved.’"[/highlight] [img]http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/04/14/article-2129558-004891FC00000258-744_634x491.jpg[/img] [B]Sources[/B]: [url]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2130029/Robin-Gibb-near-death-coma-Son-RJ-says-family-praying-recovery.html[/url] [url]http://news.sky.com/home/showbiz-news/article/16209008[/url] [url]https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CD8QqQIwAg&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fentertainment-arts-17717784&ei=e_2KT7PaCZSz8QOe8f3DCQ&usg=AFQjCNGiDdh7VxjcUIZeQ7_oYb25PoSy_A&sig2=yioz8irk4xCt6zHMfKIYig[/url] As awful as the Daily Mail can be, this is actually a good article. I really really hope he recovers, although I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't. It's such a huge shame and I don't know anybody who doesn't appreciate/love the Bee Gees. Please get better, Robin. :(
Poor guy... Hope he get's better.
That is OK, Robin Gibb. Its OK. I didn't want to be happy today, so this is OK. I swear. Please get better :(
Please Stay Alive. I love that song.
I hope he keeps Stayin' Alive. But seriously, I hope he makes it. [editline]15th April 2012[/editline] Damn, ninja'd
Those top pictures of him, Jesus Christ. He looks like a walking corpse...
They say that Happiness is like a car accelerating. It just needs to get going and then the weight and momentum will keep it up. But these past years, it's like all of these dead celebrities and family members have tampered with my 3rd gear... I constantly stop dead.
[QUOTE=loopoo;35582580]Those top pictures of him, Jesus Christ. He looks like a walking corpse...[/QUOTE] He looks perfectly normal infact suave as fuck in the top right image.
For my 10th birthday, my dad got me a Bee Gees album and they were the first band I actually paid attention to. Up until I was 14, I thought the Bee Gees made the best music ever and it inspired me to take up instruments. There's a very slim chance but I hope he comes out of that coma before it's too late. :c
[quote]The 62-year-old star made a recovery from liver and colon cancer this year, but doctors believe a second tumor may be present. He has also developed pneumonia.[/quote] wow this guy is tough. but he looks so gaunt in the first picture.
Bee Gees are one of my favorite bands, it's strange seeing him talking about his miracle of making it past cancer to most likely dying shortly afterwards. [video=youtube;WkYru0Hx2H8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkYru0Hx2H8[/video]
He looks like Stubbs the Zombie in the first picture
Gibbs the zombie.
[QUOTE=MeMassiveFag;35585445]Gibbs the zombie.[/QUOTE] I'd agree, but the dude is in a coma. Can't really laugh at any jokes like that.
Hope he recovers. (i do not know who he is, just so you know.)
cmon man, you just gotta keep... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_izvAbhExY&ob=av3n[/media] :(
:( worst way to end my night
For those interested, I've been seeing various sites report that he has awoken from his coma. No reliable websites yet, though.
"showing signs of recovery" not awoken.. google robin gibb
Not only is he a great man, he's also one sexy beast. Would be a shame if he passed, but at least it will be painless.
He's awoken! :D
I heard so too. I guess he's.. Stayin' alive.
Maybe i can finally shift up to 4th gear?

[QUOTE=Ironic Man;35668263]I heard so too. I guess he's.. Stayin' alive.[/QUOTE] Because this joke hasn't been used 10 times in the thread yet.
Poor guy. Never even listened to a Bee Gees album, the shame. :( [editline]23rd April 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=loopoo;35582580]Those top pictures of him, Jesus Christ. He looks like a walking corpse...[/QUOTE] Why don't you just say frail? Would you like to fade away like that and be called a corpse?
What shame? He's awake.
He still is battling cancer though
[QUOTE=MeMassiveFag;35679806]What shame? He's awake.[/QUOTE] Barely. I've talked to someone close to death and it's possibly the most unsettling feeling I've ever had.
[QUOTE=Silent-Bob;35676168]Because this joke hasn't been used 10 times in the thread yet.[/QUOTE] hey it was fitting that time
