The family of Robin Gibb have asked for fans to donate to the Isle of Man’s Rebecca House hospice instead of sending flowers.

The 62 year old singer died on Sunday evening following a long battle with cancer and a bout of pneumonia which left him in a coma for 12 days.

A message posted on his official Facebook page says his wife, Dwina, would appreciate a donation to the charity instead of floral tributes.

Robin, who was born on the Isle of Man, opened the children’s hospice in Strang in 2008.
