LONDON – Bee Gees pop star Robin Gibb was in a coma in a London hospital, amid fears he had only days to live, according to reports yesterday.

The London Sun newspaper said his family was keeping a bedside vigil for the 62-year-old star, who has been battling colon and liver cancer and now has pneumonia.

On Thursday Gibb’s son said the singer would not be able to attend the premiere of their debut classical work, The Titanic Requiem.

Gibb recently underwent surgery for a continuing problem with a twisted bowel. The same hereditary intestinal condition led to the death of his twin brother Maurice at the age of 53.

Gibb appeared to have made a miracle recovery, but doctors now believe a secondary tumor is present.

Gibb’s wife Dwina, brother Barry, 65, daughter Melissa, 37, and sons Spencer, 39, and RJ, 29, were at his bedside in a private hospital in Chelsea, according to The Sun.

Last month Gibb told The Sun, “I sometimes wonder if all the tragedies my family has suffered – like Andy and Maurice dying so young and everything that’s happened to me recently – is a kind of karmic price we are paying for all the fame and fortune we’ve had.”
