DOENÇA AFASTA ROBIN DE MAIS UM EVENTO

Robin infelizmente cancelou mais uma aparição pública por conta de seu estado de saúde.
A mim a situação parece cada vez mais preocupante por conta da aparente não-recuperação de seu estado com a passagem das semanas, e também pelas opiniões que tenho ouvido de amigos da área de saúde que viram suas últimas fotos - claro que com as devidas ressalvas de quem não tem contato direto com o paciente.

Essa abaixo é uma causa muito importante para o Robin e sua ausência prova que realmente ele não está bem (faz praticamente um mês que saiu do hospital, ano passado, após a cirurgia, em menos tempo ele já tinha voltado aos palcos).

Enfim, como desta vez a família e o próprio Robin preferiram o silência - ao contrário das outras oportunidades - cresce a preocupação de todos nós e o desejo de que nossas percepções individuais não se confirmem.

Ficamos esperando pela recuperação do Robin, quem tem um grande trabalho a apresentar até abril do ano que vem, data que marca os 100 anos do naufrágio do Titanic, inspiração para seu novo álbum solo que, pelo pouco que já pudemos ouvir, será algo à altura de seu talento.

£300,000 SALUTE TO OUR BOMBER HEROES

Thursday November 10,2011
By John Ingham, Defence Editor

THE Bomber Command Memorial campaign got a £300,000 boost yesterday after a prestigious fund-raising dinner hosted by TV star Carol Vorderman.
The 400 guests, including Daily Express owner Richard Desmond, actress Wendy Craig and Downton Abbey creator Lord Fellowes, dug deep for the auctions.
The most coveted item – a flight for two in a Lancaster bomber in Canada – went for £45,000.
A one-off Bomber Command watch made by Breitling sold for £40,000, two luxury holidays at a resort in Antigua used by soccer star David Beckham for £34,000, a series of paintings by David and Mandy Shepherd for £30,000 and a trip to the Champagne region with Taittinger for £17,000. The audience was entertained by groups including The Dooleys, Blake and singer Tori White.
The Bomber Command Memorial Fund also used the event to pay tribute to the support given by the Daily Express. Readers have donated £500,000, a sum matched by Mr Desmond from his own pocket.
The campaign’s fundraising director Jim Dooley said: “Our friends in the media have been extraordinarily supportive. Daily Express readers have been so very generous as has Daily Express owner Richard Desmond. Without their support we would not be where we are now – laying the foundations for the memorial and preparing for the formal opening next June during the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.”
The most coveted item – a flight for two in a Lancaster bomber in Canada – went for £45,000.
Mr Dooley also read out a personal message to the £400-a-head dinner from his colleague at the fund, Bee Gee Robin Gibb. Mr Gibb was too ill to perform at the event in London’s Natural History Museum. But from his sick bed he said: “It has been a labour of love and it is a great achievement on everyone’s part.
“A special thanks to everyone who has contributed to this cause. It is something I celebrate every day that, after 70 years, this monument is a reality and a fitting tribute to those veterans who are with us today and to those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom today. It is my great regret that I am unable to be with you tonight.
“I was looking forward to it, and I will make it up to you in the future. I will see you all soon. Onwards and upwards.” Work has begun on the foundations in Green Park on Piccadilly. The memorial will be unveiled on June 28 with the Queen thought likely to perform the honours

Quem conhece Miami Beach (que é uma cidade diferente de Miami) sabe bem como são bonitas aquelas mansões. Mas existem centenas de casas à venda lá hoje, portanto não será do dia para a noite que o Robin venderá a casa, a não ser que ofereça por um preço muito abaixo do mercado.
Apenas para atualizar o assunto, que para nós é secundário, segue essa nota de ontem.

Robin Gibb puts Miami mansion on the market

Bee Gees star Robin Gibb is selling his Florida mansion for a reported $4.2million.
The ivy-covered, Spanish-style residence has an impressive seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, and was bought by the 61-year-old British-born musician and his wife Dwina three years ago.
According to South Florida celebrity news website Gossip Extra, the couple paid about the same price that they're now asking – in cash – in 2008.
The palatial 20,000sq ft property, which was built in 2001, features soaring 12ft- and 24ft-high ceilings and stands on a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac in Miami's prestigious Ponce Davis area.
The luxury home is listed on real estate website Trulia, and is described as having a "timeless floor plan”, "breathtaking foyer”, and “state-of-the-art sound system throughout the house”.
It also boasts a huge gourmet kitchen, marble floors, an office, and maid's quarters, as well as elegant family rooms and both formal and casual dining spaces.
Gibb is understood to have placed the two-storey home, which also has a three-car garage and a "resort-style" pool and patio, on the market 90 days ago.

Enquanto isso, Barry Barry Gibb será o mestre de cerimônia e homenageado no 40º aniversário do Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade, em 10 de dezembro de 2011, no Sul da Flórida.

Anunciou-se também que Barry irá se apresentar no Love & Hope 2012. Se for um show na íntegra, pode demonstrar melhora no seu problema auditivo, que o impedia de cantar mais de 3 músicas.
Acho, no entanto, que ainda é precipitado confirmar essa informação.
