Muito pouco tempo para postar, mas não podemos deixar de eternizar neste blog a grande reaparição do Robin ontem, 13 de fevereiro, em evento beneficente já previsto. Enquanto o video não aparece, vai o texto e a foto. Continuo torcendo para que ele surpreenda e dê um jeito de se juntar ao Barry no próximo final de semana. No mais, que essa recuperação seja efetiva e que ele vença a guerra pessoal que enfrenta.
Standing ovation for Bee Gee Robin on miraculous return to stage
The 62-year-old legend joined serving military trio The Soldiers for the Coming Home charity concert in support of injured servicemen
Feeling "fantastic": Robin Gibb on stage Tim Anderson
Brave Bee Gees Robin Gibb star last night received a standing ovation at the London Palladium, on his incredible return to the stage after an intense cancer battle.
The 62-year-old legend joined serving military trio The Soldiers for the Coming Home charity concert in support of injured servicemen, at what was his first public appearance for almost five months.
After an incredible fight against colon and liver cancer which doctors have branded miraculous, the singer appeared to close the event with Bee Gees classic How Deep Is Your Love and I’ve Gotta Get A Message To You - which he recorded with The Soldiers last year in support of the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal.
Speaking before taking to the stage, a grinning Robin said he felt “fantastic” and thanked Mirror readers for their support, then happily posed for photos before walking out to rapturous applause from fans at the iconic London venue.
Support: Robin was determined to help out the Coming Home charity Tim Anderson
One audience member said: “Robin looks wonderful, as well as he has done for ages, and his voice was sounding great.
“He’s still got such a unique sound, it was a real honour to watch him as I know he has been very ill. Everyone was thrilled to see him looking so well.”
The singer, who had been forced to pull out of a string of performances and public events in recent months due to his ill health including a visit to Downing Street, wore a brown jacket and trademark blue glasses as he stood arm-in-arm with co-stars for the show’s finale.
And he showed flashes of his good humour on stage as he joked with the show’s organiser to hurry up with his closing speech, before waving to fans and thanking them for the rousing reception.
Robin has also pledged to appear with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in April, for the premiere of his first classical composition The Titanic Requiem, after revealing his doctors had been stunned by his recovery.

In a recorded interview for BBC Radio he said this month: “I’ve been treated by a brilliant doctor, and in their own words, the results have been spectacular.
“And they said, ‘What are you doing that we don’t know about?’”
The singer also joked that medics had said he must be from “another planet”, before adding: “The prognosis is that it’s almost gone and I feel fantastic.
“Really from now on it’s just what they could describe as a “mopping-up” operation.”
Details of Robin’s serious condition first emerged in October last year when the star was forced to cancel several concerts and charity appearances, and he sparked alarm when he joined chat host Alan Titchmarsh the same month appearing gaunt and unwell.
He later revealed he had been diagnosed with colon cancer which spread to the liver, but has always vowed to beat the disease and continued to write music throughout his illness.
