    Bee Gee Robin Gibb says his health has improved

    LONDON (AP) — Bee Gee star Robin Gibb says he is making a strong recovery and putting on weight after suffering from a serious illness.

    He told BBC radio on Friday that he feels better than he has in a decade.

    The 62-year-old had suffered from severe weight loss in recent months and has been hospitalized for stomach and colon problems that forced him to curtail public appearances.

    He has not specified the exact nature of his illness but told the BBC he had a growth on his colon that was removed.

    The singer says his doctors have been amazed by his recovery.

    Gibb and his brothers scored many top hits during the disco era.

      I'm so glad to hear that. I've always loved the Bee Gees no matter what others say about them. It was so sad when Maurice died and even sadder when Andy died.

      "Gibb and his brothers scored many top hits during the disco era." What idiot wrote this article?
      • diane 3 mths ago
        Probabally wasnt alive in the 70s. I do not know how anyone wouldnt know their music if they was breathing in the 70s.

      SO glad to hear this!

      Good news! All indications lead to possible colon cancer, which is curable because they simply remove the part of the colon with the cancer. A colonoscopy is so easy, simple and fast that it amazes me how many people still do not have them. Save your life people, have those colonoscopy's!
