Robin Gibb of band Bee Gees was rushed to hospital recently with “severe” abdominal pains.
The Stayin Alive singer was taken ill at his home in Thame, oxfordshire, England, and his wife Dwina called an ambulance for him where they headed toward a specialist stomach unit at a nearby hospital.
“An ambulance rushed over to pick him up. His wife was with him and she obviously looked very worried. He looked in severe pain.” A source says.
Robin – who is teetotal and a vegetarian – has suffered from crippling stomach pains for years and medical professionals have been unable to diagnose an exact cause for the ailment.
A friend says: “He would never go to hospital unless he really had to. He is a very brave man.”
This is the second time this year the 61-year-old musician has been hospitalised with abdominal discomfort.
In April, he was taken in for tests and had to cancel a series of Brazilian concerts due to his severe abdominal pain, as doctors warned him not to travel.
In 2010, Robin underwent surgery for a blocked intestine – the same condition which led to the death of his twin brother and Bee Gees bandmate oaurice in 2003.
