The health of Manx-born Robin Gibb features in a national newspaper today (Friday).

The Daily Mirror reports on how the Bee Gee is carrying on with his charity work, after vowing to beat the aggressive form of liver cancer which has left him fighting for his life.

After being admitted to hospital almost two months ago, the 62-year-old, who has a home in Peel, is receiving intensive chemotherapy.

The paper reports that he is drained by the treatment and had to miss a charity event for music project Rock The House on Wednesday.

The Bee Gees star has collaborated with his son RJ on The Titanic Requiem, which will be released in March, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the disaster.

Robin says the project is helping him 'on the road to recovery'.
