Music rouses Robin from coma
Stricken Bee Gee Robin Gibb has been nodding his head and communicating with friends and family after they played music to rouse him from a coma.
The 62-year-old even WEPT in response to the Roy Orbison hit Crying, his wife Dwina said.
Music legend Robin slipped into the coma last week after suffering pneumonia while battling liver and colon cancer.
Distraught relatives including bandmate brother Barry, 65, played music and sang during all-night vigils at his bedside.
Dwina told yesterday of Robin’s rapid recovery since he first opened his eyes on Wednesday night.
She said outside his London hospital: “He’s moving his head and nodding. When we’re asking questions he’s responding to them. I can’t believe it.
“We’ve been playing music to him all along. I thought he’d respond to it and, when they hooked him up to an ECG scanner, it showed he was.
“We’re very pleased. We think he might even talk once the tubes come out.”
