Bee Gee vows to keep fighting

The wife of hospital-bound Robin Gibb said the Bee Gees star has vowed never to give up on his fight for life. The singer has amazed doctors with his fightback following treatment for cancer, intestinal surgery and a bout of pneumonia which put him in a coma for days.

In an interview, Dwina Gibb said the star had told doctors he wanted to live “no matter what” – despite being given little chance of pulling through. He was given only a 10 per cent chance of surviving an operation on a perforated bowel.
