Nosso último encontro do ano será neste sábado, 3 de dezembro, em São Paulo. Informações pelo e-mail brgibb@yahoo.com.br
Segue matéria do The Mirror, de hoje, que mais uma vez faz um apanhado de tudo o que tem saído na interenet para manter o assunto na pauta. A manchete dá a entender que a reportagem falou com o Robin, mas não é o caso. Está supondo que assim pensa o Robin.
Robin Gibb: Cancer won't stop me getting back on stage
Passion for music and the love of his fans have always been the driving force behind the success of Bee Gee Robin Gibb.
Now as he draws on the support of well-wishers in his fight with liver cancer, he wants to repay them by going back on tour.
Brave Robin has told friends he wants to play live again to thank all the fans who are praying that his determination and fighting spirit will help him survive.
Brother Barry has been at Robin’s side this week... and he suggested that when he is healthy they should return to the stage.
Their former record company boss David English was visiting too and revealed that Robin is very frail but is sharp and feeling positive.
David added: “Barry came out with it and said, ‘Look, why don’t we go on the road again?’ and Rob just grinned and replied ‘great, when can we go?’
“We said, ‘We need to get you a bit stronger and better first. We will have to feed you up – none of this vegan nonsense with herbal tea’.
“I think it was the best medicine we could have given him.”
Since the Sunday Mirror revealed the sad news of Robin’s cancer last week, heartfelt messages from fans, including many star names,have flooded in from around the world.
Robin, 61, was touched by a card and message from David Cameron and wife Samantha which arrived at the his £8million home.
Tycoon Sir Richard Branson, guitar legend Eric Clapton and comedian Stephen Fry have also sent moving cards and letters.
Former Beatle Ringo Starr has been in touch and there have been a string of famous visitors to Robin’s mansion in Oxfordshire. Psychic Uri Geller, radio DJ Mike Read and author Howard Marks have spent time with Robin and his family.
One close friend said: “The response from fans, members of the public and famous people has been incredible. It has really touched Robin and his wife Dwina.
“Robin was very grateful for the kind message from David and Samantha. Robin was extremely disappointed he had to cancel his meeting with the PM last month because of ill health so it meant a lot to him that he had been in touch this week.
“Robin has many famous friends and he appreciates them rallying round. It helps him take his mind off the difficult battle he faces. Most of all it is the public who have really moved Robin and Dwina.
“It is not just messages on the internet but the cards, presents and letters. So many people have taken the time to send the messages... they have been inundated. It is overwhelming. Some fans turned up at the house to deliver cards.”
Tony and Cherie Blair have also been in touch a number of times in recent months to offer support. The former PM and his wife are good friends with the Gibbs and stayed at their Miami home for a family holiday in 2006.
Last week we told how Robin was rushed to hospital from his home in Thame. A family friend confirmed he had been diagnosed several months earlier with liver cancer.
Mother Barbara, 91, and brother Barry, 65, flew in from America to be with Robin, who has suffered poor health for more than a year. He had emergency surgery last year to remove part of his intestine and doctors said he could have died within an hour. He has spoken about how he cannot come to terms with the death of his twin brother Maurice in 2003, which led to the Bee Gees disbanding for several years.
This week said on his website he had been “very unwell” but was on the road to recovery”. He added: “Your prayers and wishes are a great tonic. I believe because of you I’ll get well. I’m touched by your love, kindness and support.”
Dwina has been a pillar of strength and is looking into alternative forms of therapy for vegan Robin.
He has been having 20-minute holistic sessions in an infrared sauna installed at the house to sweat out toxins from the body.
Dwina has also been exploring Native American “spider medicine”. This traditional practice promises to cure untreatable diseases by using meditation to capture and channel energy.
