Robin Gibb in a coma after contracting pneumonia.

Awww, sad news. All the best to him.
We might be having to put this in "Wonder at the Powers That Be" soon. :(
I'm praying for Robin & his family.
My sister called to tell me about Robin. I said "Oh no! I haven't gotten over Davy (Jones) yet"! I am an avid BeeGees fan from way back. This is so upsetting!
Very upsetting news but not that unexpected. He did not look well last interview I saw of him. They said the family is at his side. Very sad
I'm not going to comment on this until the inevitable happens, as it appears it will. I was & still am a huge fan.
Good vibes and prayers going across the Irish sea to Robin and all the Gibb family.
Sad news. Robin is in my thoughts.
This is very grim news indeed. I'm hoping he will recover, but it doesn't sound good at this point. Lots of people are pulling for your recovery, Robin.
This is so very sad. This family has been through so much!!! Thoughts going out to all of them.
I just heard on TV that Robin has woken up from his coma! This is great news! Keep praying for his recovery
Unfortunately given that he has liver cancer, this is probably only temporary. :sad:
I wonder how his 93 year old mother is doing. She has to be one of the strongest women that's ever walked this earth. I mean, lost youngest son to suicide, Maurice, Robin's twin, lost his life in 2003 and now Robin. I can't imagine how hard this has to be for her and for Barry.
Actually, Andy died of a heart condition caused by his drug use. According to Barry he had kicked the drug habit & was just beginning to get his life & career back together.
My heart goes out to Barbara Gibb. She also lost her husband, Hugh, a few years after Andy. Mr Gibb was never able to get over Andy's death. His health continually declined after Andy died. I met Hugh Gibb briefly in 1979. He seemed like a very down to earth man.
Thanks for clearing that up. I guess you were as wrong as I was, Topkat. :hilarious:
Here's what Wiki says:
On March 5, 1988, Andy Gibb celebrated his 30th birthday in London, England, while working on a new album. Soon after, he entered John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford complaining of chest pains and died just days later on March 10, 1988, as a result of myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle caused by a recent viral infection. Gibb's body was returned to the United States where he was interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Hollywood Hills) in Los Angeles.
I'm a BIG Gibb family fan from way back. :grin:
Yes, oops sorry. I forgot that the actual cause of death was a heart condition, but it was reported that the heart condition was caused by cocaine abuse. It was just so sad whatever it was that happened. He was soo young, not to mention talented & good looking. I remember being so upset over Andy's death, I can't even imagine how the family must have felt.
So am I.
I sometimes get annoyed when people refer to them as Australian. They started their careers first in Brisbane (the suburb of Redcliffe) & Sydney (the suburb of Hurstville, which isn't too far from me) but they were all born on the Isle of Man & spent their early childhood in Manchester. Their accents were pure Mancunian (for which as an adopted Liverpudlian I forgave them).
This is Robin singing the Isle of Man's unofficial anthem, Ellen Vannin. I saw them do this. It was incredibly moving.

Thank you, FP! That song is very moving. It would have been wonderful to see them perform it. It is especially moving right now as Robin fights for his life.
That was a beautiful song...Praying for Robin
Thanks for posting that. I never heard it before
Just saw this on Robin's Facebook page posted about 10 minutes ago!

I'm not on Facebook. What does it say? Can we hope?

I will send my best wishes & hope; that's all I can do. (Thanks GL).
In short it says that Robin opened his eyes and said a few words to his wife today. According to the article he should have been 'dead by now' so this is being considered as a reprieve, and a miracle.
They said the doctors did not expect him to wake up. He is even speaking. How wonderful. His wife was on tv & she is elated. Yes, it is a miracle. Sending prayers his way.
Even if it a short reprieve it is wonderful for his family to have more time with him.
Yep - I'm sure Robin's family cherishes every precious moment they get to spend with him as he continues to fight for his life. My thoughts continue to be with them.
Another long time Bee Gees fan weighing in. I am keeping Robin in my thoughts and prayers. I know that he is still very sick however even though he has come out of the coma.
Just read on twitter Robin Gibb has died RIP
My favorite song sung by Robin:

Robin is at peace... I feel for Barry and the family.
