Robin Gibb recovering from colon surgery Robin Gibb arrives on the red carpet before the World Music Awards at the Sporting Club in Monte Carlo, Monaco on May 18, 2010. The award show raised funds to open an orphanage in earthquake-ravaged Haiti. LONDON, Feb. 4 (UPI) -- Former Bee Gee Robin Gibb said Friday he is on the road to recovery from an intestinal ailment that was reportedly colon cancer. Gibb told BBC Radio 2 he had a growth on his colon removed and "the results have been spectacular." "I was diagnosed with a growth in my colon," Gibb said. It was removed and I've been treated for that by a brilliant doctor. The Los Angeles Times said Gibb will return to the stage in April with a performance of "The Titanic Requiem," which he composed along with his son, RJ, to mark the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the ocean liner.
