Facts About Robin Gibb's Liver Cancer

61-year-old Bee Gees star Robin Gibb was first rushed to the hospital last October for what he thought as simple stomach pains. Now, as it turns out, Gibb has been battling liver cancer for the past several months now.

Last month the singer tried  to quash rumours about his health, saying: ‘I’m feeling great, absol-utely great.’

But despite his optimism, the NHS says the outlook for those with liver cancer is poor as most cases are detected late.

A close friend told the Daily Mail: ‘We should be thinking about Robin’s incredible talent as a singer and songwriter, and the wonderful gift of music that he and his brothers gave to the world.’

Mr Gibb, who does not smoke or drink and eats healthily, told the Mail last year that he spends 20 minutes a day sweating in a ‘detoxification hut’.

He and Dwina, 58, an ordained druid priestess, are reportedly considering a visit to a Native American medicine man for a possible natural cure.
