Robin Gibb feels "fantastic" after his cancer battle

The Bee Gees singer - who has undergone seven rounds of chemotherapy in the last 18 months in a bid to beat liver cancer - revealed the prognosis is that the disease has "almost gone" and he feels better than he has done for a decade.

He told BBC Radio 2: "I mean the fact is, I`ve never spoken to anybody about my condition or the condition that I was in and a lot of them go over the top to the point where they`re telling me things that I didn`t even know about myself.

"The prognosis is that it`s almost gone and I feel fantastic and really from now on it`s just what they could describe as a `mopping-up` operation. I am very active and my sense of well-being is good."

The 62-year-old musician - who is preparing to make a comeback at a charity concert later this month - praised his doctor for helping him to make such great progress in his cancer battle.

He added: "Well, it`s all simple. I was diagnosed with a growth in my colon. It was removed. And I`ve been treated for that by a brilliant doctor, and in their own words `the results have been spectacular`."
