“I don’t know how I could feel any better.” That’s what [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Robin Gibb[/lastfm] said last Friday, just weeks after some reports had him close to death.
During an interview on BBC Radio 2, Robin told Steve Wright (no relation to the American comedian) his cancer is “almost gone. I feel better than I did 10 years ago. The fact is, I’ve never spoken about to anyone about my condition. A lot of claims go over the top to the point they’re telling me things I didn’t even know about myself. It’s all simple. I was diagnosed with a growth in my colon. It was removed. And I’ve been treated for that by a brilliant doctor, and in their own words ‘the results have bee spectacular.’ I don’t know how I could feel any better. I’m active, my appetite’s fantastic, the plumbing is all in perfect working order. I I had a choice about how I’d like to feel for the rest of my life, this would be it. Really from now on it’s just what they could describe as a mopping-up operation.”
And that is good news for music lovers around the world. Robin‘s musical sails into uncharted territory in April with his classical music debut as he leads a performance of The Titanic Requiem composed by him and his son R.J. on the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the ill-fated ship. Here’s a sample of the project, which has nothing to do with the sound he made famous with brothers Barry and Maurice as the [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Bee Gees[/lastfm].
