The wife of hospital-bound Robin Gibb said the Bee Gees star has vowed never to give up on his fight for life.
The singer has amazed doctors with his fight-back following treatment for cancer, intestinal surgery and a bout of pneumonia which put him in a coma for several days.
Dwina Gibb told the Sun newspaper that the star had told doctors he wanted to live “no matter what” − despite being given little chance of pulling through his medical procedures.
During one recent bout of treatment he was given only a 10 per cent chance of surviving an operation on a perforated bowel.
She said: “The doctors asked Robin if he wanted them to do everything in their power to save his life − or if he felt the time would come when enough was enough.
“He told them: ‘There will never be a time when enough is enough. I want to live, no matter what’.”
Mr Gibb, 62, fell into a coma a fortnight ago and former Prime Minister Tony Blair was one of the last people to speak to him by phone before he did so.
The chart-topping star, whose family has been keeping a bedside vigil, eventually regained consciousness while he was being played a recording of his latest composition Titanic Requiem.
His wife told the newspaper: “We have to take each day as it comes. Robin has been seriously ill. Every time I go to see him, I am so happy to be there, so happy to see him with his eyes open and talking.”
