Robin Gibb dies after battle with cancer

By: Newstalk ZB staff | Latest News | Monday May 21 2012 10:59

 

The Bee Gees' Robin Gibb has died.

Rolling Stone reports the 62-year-old singer died after a long battle with cancer and intestinal surgery.

Two years ago he battled colon and liver cancer and made a spectacular recovery, until a second tumor developed recently.

Last month he had surgery for a twisted bowel, the same hereditary intestinal condition which led to the death of his twin brother Maurice at the age of 53.

Things were complicated by a case of pneumonia and he slipped into a coma for over a week.
