GIBB’S FEARS OVER EMERGENCY OPERATION
BEE GEES star ROBIN GIBB is "grateful" to be alive - he feared he would d ie like his twin brother MAURICE after undergoing an emergency stomach op eration earlier this year (10).
The Staying Alive hitmaker was hospitalised in August (10) after suffer ing crippling cramps and he was rushed into the operating theatre for a e mergency procedure on his intestine.
The same health crisis cost his twin’s life seven years ago, but it was only after the scare that Robin made the connection with his brother’s d eath.
He tells Britain’s Daily Mail, "I didn’t think about Mo (Maurice) until after my emergency. I just got a bit of cramp, and suddenly I was on the operating table. The gastroenterologist told me my intestine was blocked , and was about two hours from bursting.
