(Newser) – Robin Gibb, one of two surviving Bee Gees, is battling liver cancer. The 61-year-old singer has appeared increasingly frail in recent months. Brother Barry, 65, traveled from the US to Britain to be by Gibb's side after he was hospitalized with intense abdominal pain last week. He was released later that day. Gibb—whose twin brother, Maurice, died of a heart attack in 2003 during surgery for a twisted intestine—is married to a druid priestess and plans to investigate alternative therapies, according to the Daily Mail.

And now, a medley of troll comments, condensed for your pleasure: 1) Robin Gibb is insignificant. Jesus accomplished more in his time on earth. 2) Another liberal Muslim in the White House voter about to bite the dust. 3) He doesn't smell as nice as Michelle Bachmann.

I really enjoy the BeeGees and their music--best album for me is "Still Waters".
