The 61-year-old singer was recently hospitalised for reported liver cancer, after suffering abdominal pain and inflammation of the colon.

Robin ‘ who has been seen looking increasingly frail in public over the last few weeks ‘ has been undergoing treatment for the disease for several months, it’s been claimed.

The former Bee Gees singer has taken to his blog to reassure fans of his recuperation.

“I have been very unwell and am now on the road to recovery,” he posted on his personal website.

Robin also took the time to thank his loyal supporters for their “prayers and good wishes.”

The musician says his fan’s word were a “great tonic to [him]”.

“I wish to thank my family, friends and fans and the many thousands of people who do not know me but have enjoyed Bee Gees music and have wished me well,” he added.

“I am very touched by your love, kindness and support. This concern from people all over the world has demonstrated the depth of feeling and love that the Bee Gees have achieved over the years.”

Robin was hospitalised in October after experiencing stomach pains, and consequently pulled out of several scheduled performances.
