Hi All: Robin Gibb is fighting liver cancer. I didn't see this on the board so I thought I'd include it. This is not good. Usually your days are numbered when you have liver cancer and he looks awful. Below you will find an article I copied about the diagnosis. Also beneath that is a statement from Robin himself where he admits he is very ill. This is really sad. My guess we will probably lose this legend very soon. I would LOVE to be wrong, but I don't want to get into denial.

ROBIN GIBB BATTLES LIVER CANCER
Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb, 61, was diagnosed with liver cancer earlier this year and has been undergoing treatment for several months, it has been revealed. His 91-year-old mother Barbara and 65-year-old brother Barry both flew to England from their homes in the United States to be by his side, reports Britain's Daily Mail.
Gibb has been rushed to the hospital more than once over the past year for intestinal problems, and in fact, he had intestinal surgery last October.
His twin brother Maurice died at 53 from a twisted intestine in January 2003. In a very recent TV interview, Gibb mused about Maurice, "I just imagine he's out there somewhere and I will bump into him one day."
A friend of the family said, "There is frustration because Robin has always looked after himself. He doesn't drink, eats well and exercises daily."
THANK YOU
Robin Gibb is very touched by all the wishes of support he is receiving and thanks everyone for their thoughts and prayers.. http://www.robingibb.com/home
I wish to thank my family, friends and fans and the many thousands of people who do not know me but have enjoyed Bee Gees music and have wished me well. I am very touched by your love, kindness and support. This concern from people all over the world has demonstrated the depth of feeling and love that the Bee Gees have achieved over the years. It is humbling and I take your prayers and good wishes for my health very seriously. I have been very unwell and am now on the road to recovery, and your prayers and wishes are a great tonic to me. I believe because of you I will get well and my deepest love goes out to you all. Robin xxxx
