Fears grew yesterday for the health of Robin Gibb after he was forced to miss a meeting with Prime Minister David Cameron.
The Bee Gees singer spent four days in hospital earlier this month suffering from inflammation of the colon. His twin brother, Maurice, died of an intestinal illness in 2003.
Gibb had been due to launch this year’s official Poppy Appeal song – on which he appears – at 10 Downing Street, but a close friend said he was too ill to attend.
