Bee Gee takes on more charity work whilst battling cancer

Fri, 20 Jan 2012

Manx singer Robin Gibb is continuing his charity work whilst battling liver cancer, according to a report in a UK newspaper today.

The Mirror says the Bee Gee star is receiving chemotherapy in hospital.

This week he became a patron of the Rock the House music project, but was too ill to attend an event for the charity.

A spokesman for the 62 year old says he's set himself the target of attending a gala in early April to celebrate the launch of his classical composition, "The Titanic Requiem".

The report says Gibb is exceeding doctors expectations in response to treatment.
