    And now his body is free... he will be laughing with his two brothers Maurice & Andy: “Wow that was a great life, all the joy, passion, laughter and pain, we lived every part of it...”.
    He will always be with us through his beautiful spirit & passion, his music, his voice... and his strength & inspiration. What a stunning man he is. What memories he leaves for us.
    Love you Robin, you live in the hearts of so many and will never be forgotten. Your music and your essence is eternal ♥️

    Thankyou James.A lovely interview.Rob really couldn't see what all the fuss was about.He was in remission and doing ok at the time.It was the chemo that got too much and then having the second op and pnumonia on top.All his life either ill health or accidents dogged him,but passed him by.I just wish he didn't have to suffer at the end.He was a lovely man.So very loved and he did know that.xLesley

    As much as l like to claim the Bee Gees as part of Aussie heritage, l have massive respect for Robyn and his love of England and it's history, and making his contribution to having it recognised. l would like to think, that if he was still with us, a University would have been proud to have recognised, this supposedly uneducated man, for how well read he was in UK history.

      @@susieq9801 Yes. Horrible. As was Robins last performance of 'Singing with the Soldiers.' Heartbreaking to watch for sure. The soldiers are all so strong, fit and healthy looking standing there in a semi-circle with Robin. And there's poor Robin, so very tiny. By this time he was nothing but skin stretched over bones. He looks like a little kid dressed up in his father's clothes or something. That orange jacket just swallowed him up. But one thing Robin had in Spades was Determination. He would not give up or give in.
      There's a story I heard about how when the Titanic Requium was being debuted, and Barry was with Robin in his hospital room, that Robin was determined to try and attend with Barry. That he somehow got out of the hospital bed but then of course, he collapsed.💔 And I'm told that Robin had a sign placed there welcoming Barry as his Special Guest.
      Barry didn't attend though. He chose to stay with Robin. And for that I give Barry full credit and a thank you.
      OMG. Thinking about all this stuff is just too damn SAD.

      @@gloriamaryhaywood2217 - SAD doesn't even begin to describe it.
      The last time I saw him he was at home, a skeleton wrapped in a blanket with his nose dripping and unable to speak. RJ was speaking for him. I don't understand why they let him be seen like that but Robin was determined. That shouldn't even be allowed on the internet. I was a nurse and have seen a lot of dying people and my heart was ripped to shreds seeing him like that.
      Although it was a natural thing for Barry to want to stay with Robin it was still admirable and to his immense credit. If Robin tried to get up and collapsed, which I could easily believe, it just reinforced my belief that Robin was one helluva gutsy and determined guy. He fought like hell!!! It's just so damn maddening that Robin couldn't hold on for the unveiling of the memorial by the Queen and to see his Requiem performed. He deserved a knighthood and I truly believe he should be awarded one posthumously. To hell with the rules. He DESERVED it!

    This was very hard to listen to, knowing this interview was just 3 months before Robin's passing. It is clear he was not "fit as a fiddle". His voice was very frail and words were slurred, nothing like his normal voice, which was always clear, concise, and he enunciated his words perfectly. In another interview I saw earlier, with his son, RJ, discussing their work on Titanic Requiem, he looked 20-30 years older and looked very weak. His body and head were drooping, as if unable to support his body upright. He kept working until the end. I wished he had slowed down and rest his body to allow it to fight the disease. He might have lived longer. He was, clearly, dying. But he didn't want anyone to know. Even Barry didn't know until he saw pictures of Robin, and quickly went to be by his side. Barry sang the song "End of the Rainbow" to Robin, as he laid unconscious in bed. He said he didn't know if Robin heard him or not. It was very sad. I am glad Robin is no longer in pain and reunited with his other half, Maurice, baby brother, Andy, and his parents.

      Dorothy Scarth Robin said that his contribution to the Bomber Command Memorial was the thing he was Most proud of in his life. ..More than all the awards and accolades he'd received over his lifetine for his music. Robin totally believed in that campaign and stayed committed to it. So glad he got to view it from scaffolds before he passed ...which was shortly before it opened to the public. I've seen pics of Robin up on that scaffold gazing at the magnificent sculptures...and the expression on Robins face says it all!! Rest in Peace, Robin....You ARE Missed.

    He even kept it from family..
    A magazine released pics of Robin that brought into question his health.
    Subsequently, Barry took this picture to his Dr , & Barry's Dr suggestion he go see him immediately because the Dr belived , from the picture, that Robin was critically ill...
    Barry barely got there before he died..
    In fact, he was so near death that Robin was unable to talk & died within a few hours.

    Maybe he was in denial or the doctors didn't detect how bad the cancer was. To me remission doesn't mean cured. He had colon and Liver cancer. Liver cancer is very painful while the cancer is eating up your liver. When your liver isn't fuctioning correctly it cause Kidney failure. Sadly the Kidney failure cause the pnumonia. Same thing happened to a deaar friend of mine and my mother had the liver cancer and such pain.
