Bee Gee star Robin Gibb, 62, says he is making a strong recovery after struggling with stomach and colon problems that sent him to the hospital last year.
He told BBC Radio 2 today that he feels better than he has in a decade.
"Well, it's all simple. I was diagnosed with a growth in my colon. It was removed. And I've been treated for that by a brilliant doctor, and in their own words 'the results have been spectacular.' "
Media speculation about his health was sparked by his gaunt and frail appearance in recent months, reports Reuters. "I mean the fact is, I've never spoken to anybody about my condition or the condition that I was in, and a lot of them go over the top to the point where they're telling me things that I didn't even know about myself," he said.
"The prognosis is that it's almost gone and I feel fantastic, and really from now on it's just what they could describe as a 'mopping-up' operation. I am very active and my sense of well-being is good."
