British Singer Robin Gibb is in a Coma

A tragedy for the Gibb family striked when Bee Gees star Robin Gibb, 62, was  diagnosed with colon and liver cancer. Now, he is in a coma and has pneumonia. Gibb had bowel surgery in 2010, his rep stated. His brother Maurice died in 2003 of a twisted bowel; his brother Andy died of a heart infection. The Brothers Gibb — calling themselves the Bee Gees — soared to renown as one of the most successful British groups after the 1977 film “Saturday Night Fever” starring John Travolta was built around the group’s disco songs. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, the Bee Gees have sold more than 200 million albums, and their soundtrack album to “Saturday Night Fever” was the top-selling album until Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” claimed that distinction in the 1980s.
