The frail 61-year old star was diagnosed with liver cancer some months back and is now being treated at the John Radcliffe Hospital.

Gibb spent five hours at the hospital last Tuesday but was allowed home. He spent four days in hospital in October.

Gibb’s twin brother Maurice died at age 53 from complications from a twisted intestine. The Bee Gee’s officially disbanded as a group after Maurice’s death.

Robin’s older brother Barry and their 91-year old mother Barbara have rushed to the UK to be with Robin.
