quote:

LONDON (AFP) - The doctor of Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb on Sunday hailed his "quite incredible" recovery, a day after the star woke from a coma and responded to members of his family

"The prognosis was very grave, given that Robin had brain swelling from liver failure, a severe pneumonia and a weakened immune system from malnutrition," the doctor said in a statement.


quote:

"It is testament to Robin's extraordinary courage, iron will and deep reserves of physical strength that he has overcome quite incredible odds to get where he is now."

Gibb is now fully conscious, lucid and able to speak to loved ones gathered by his hospital bed in west London.

Is this a bad time for a Stayin' Alive joke?

Finally, some positive news from the medical community concerning musicians. His struggle has had me listening to more of the Brothers lately.

I'm not sure how many people ever heard this one, but it reminds me that they always had an ear for a good melody, and that their voices had maintained very well.

"Salutes?"

Like recovering from illness means he did something? What am I missing? It seems like the corollary of this would be cursing people who up & die.
