British singer and song writer, who is also the member of Bee Gees , Robin Gibb has contracted pneumonia in his battle with cancer. Reports say that the singer is fighting for his life.
Gibb is being treated at a hospital in Chelsea in west London and the family of the singer is accompanying him. The family of the singer includes his wife Dwina, brother Barry, 37 year old daughter and 39 and 29 year old sons Spencer and Robin-John respectively.
