Robin Gibb’s family is now planning a public memorial to be celebrated in service at St Paul’s Cathedral, London, in September. He will be buried at a private funeral in June.
“The end was peaceful and dignified,” said RJ. “It was only later that I cried and cried.” The 29-year-old said his father’s funeral service will feature music by the Bee Gees, Roy Orbison, and include Robin’s favourite hymns, Jerusalem and I Vow to Thee My Country.
Robin had found alternative cancer treatments such as nutritional support and detoxification to be very helpful and, as his son confirmed, he was clear of cancer when he died. This suggests that the toxic effects of seven rounds of chemotherapy had weakened his body drastically.
