Bee Gee Maurice 'critically ill' Maurice Gibb is critically ill in a Miami hospital after a suspected heart attack. The 53-year-old Bee Gees singer reportedly collapsed at his Florida home and had to be operated on as soon as he arrived at hospital. His family are said to be very worried about the former alcoholic, once married to Lulu. A spokesman told the London Evening Standard: "Maurice has undergone surgery for an intestinal blockage. He is in a critical condition in intensive care. "We are awaiting a full medical prognosis later today but everyone is very, very worried." Maurice is being comforted in hospital by his current wife, Yvonne, and their two children, Adam and Samantha. He has also been visited by his brother Barry and Michael Jackson, with whom Barry had been working. Maurice, the bass guitarist and keyboard player of the Bee Gees, is known to fans as "the funny one" of the three brothers, and distinguished by his penchant for hats. He has been working with Barry on a new Bee Gees album in Miami, where both brothers live. Story filed: 14:40 Friday 10th January 2003 All my thoughts and prayers are with Mo and his family.

The 53-year-old musician collapsed at his Florida home. Hospital doctors operated on him immediately, discovering major stomach problems. In a statement today, a spokesman said: "Maurice has undergone surgery for an intestinal blockage. He is in a critical condition in intensive care. We are awaiting a full medical prognosis later today but everyone is very, very worried." Pop legend: Maurice, above left, in 1981 with brothers Barry and Robin Maurice, who was once married to Lulu and has had well-documented drink problems in the past, is being comforted in hospital by his current wife, Yvonne, and their two children, Adam and Samantha. He has also been visited by his brother Barry and Michael Jackson, with whom Barry had been working. Maurice's twin Robin, who has been promoting a solo album in Britain, is waiting anxiously for news at his 12thcentury home in Thame, Oxon, and preparing to fly to his brother's bedside. A friend said: "Obviously Robin is absolutely distraught. He has put all his work on hold and waiting anxiously for further news." Maurice, the bass guitarist and keyboard player of the Bee Gees, is known to fans as "the funny one" of the three brothers, and distinguished by his penchant for hats. He has been working with Barry on a new Bee Gees album in Miami, where both brothers live. The Bee Gees are one of popular music's most successful acts of all time, surviving family feuds, ridicule, changes in musical fashion and tragedy, when younger brother Andy Gibb died. They enjoyed a seemingly endless string of hits in the Sixties and, after a decline in popularity, reinvented themselves as a disco act. They enjoyed a revival thanks to the film Saturday Night Fever in the Seventies - and again in the Nineties when they won a lifetime achievement Brit Award. Maurice met his first wife, Lulu, in the BBC canteen when they were both appearing on Top of the Pops in the late Sixties. Their first date was at a Pink Floyd concert and they swiftly became British pop's golden couple - young, attractive and famous - announcing their engagement live on Lulu's TV show. They married in 1969 with 3,000 screaming fans outside the church. She was 20 years old and still a virgin. They entertained lavishly at their Highgate home, where Ringo Starr was a neighbour and regular house guests included Rod Stewart, Robert Plant, Dudley Moore and Keith Moon. Maurice indulged his love of luxury cars, at one stage buying a Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Aston Martin in the space of a week, and they holidayed in St Moritz and Ibiza. Lulu later revealed that their celebrity lifestyle masked an unhappy marriage, and they split in 1973. "For all the parties, presents, tearful partings and reunions, we didn't know how to get along with each other," she said. "A lot of the time we fought like cat and dog and then made up again." The couple were reunited onstage last year when they sang a duet on An Audience With Lulu. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2003 08:16:04 -0000 From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Andrew_M=F4n_Hughes?= Subject: Re: Digest (01/10/2003 00:02) (#2003-3460) > From: Ronnie Olsson > Subject: Re: Digest (01/04/2003 12:01) (#2003-3436) > > It's been a while since the One tour but I think tickets for the Oslo > concert could be ordered as well. > Can't say for sure as I didn't plan to go there (don't speak the lingo) ;o) > I ordered tickets for both Valbyhallen and Globen but alas we only got to > experience the gig at Valbyhallen.

Thank heavens for that! Hopefully this means Maurice condition is better than the picture that the various news bulletins has painted. Still, I will be a lot more relieved once he's given a clean bill of health and left the hospital.

Gibb was admitted to Mount Sinai Hospital in Miami Beach Thursday. He was listed in critical condition and was in intensive care early Friday afternoon. A hospital spokesman said Gibb is suffering from an intestinal blockage that he has had since birth. Sources said Gibb underwent surgery to remove half of his stomach and most of his intestines. Gibb may also have suffered a minor heart attack during surgery. Gibb's family was apparently at the hospital, where Gibb was said to have opened his eyes following the operation. The London Evening Standard newspaper reported that the 53-year-old musician collapsed at his Miami Beach home on Thursday. The hospital spokesman said on Friday that he was "awaiting a full medical prognosis later today but everyone is very, very worried." According to the London paper, Gibb's current wife Yvonne was at the hospital along with their two children, Adam and Samantha. Other visitors to the hospital have included his brother Barry and pop singer Michael Jackson, with whom Barry had been working. The brothers own a recording studio in Miami Beach. They have all lived in south Florida since the late 1970s. Maurice (pictured far left), along with brothers Robin (center) and Barry (right), formed the multi-platinum-selling Bee Gees recording group that had a string of hits in the 1970s, including the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack. Their younger brother Andy, who had a solo career, died in 1988 from a heart attack. He was 30. Maurice's twin Robin, who has been promoting a solo album in Britain, was apparently awaiting news of his condition at his home in Thame, Oxon, and was preparing to fly to Miami. "Obviously Robin is absolutely distraught," a friend told the paper. "He has put all his work on hold and is waiting anxiously for further news." Maurice played bass guitar and keyboard with the Bee Gees and is known to fans as "the funny one" of the brothers. He is also distinguished by his often-donned hats. He and brother Barry had been working on a new Bee Gees album in Miami. > Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2003 11:48:49 -0500 > From: "Teri Coon" > Subject: Maurice... > > I dont' post much but this just came through my in-box...not sure if it's > made the list yet.... > MAURICE GIBB of the Bee Gees is seriously ill in a Miami hospital after > suffering from a suspected heart attack. > http://www.bbc.co.uk/choice/liquidnews/news/100103/beegees.shtml > > Teri > > > > > ------------------------------ > > End words@brothersgibb.com Digest [01/10/2003 12:01] > ---------------------------------------------------- > "Words & Music", Fans Of The Brothers Gibb ( Bee Gees ) > http://www.brothersgibb.com > > To change any of your list options, > please go to website listed above. > > > > http://www.brothersgibb.com > Bee Gees News and Information > > > ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2003 21:56:58 +0100 From: "A.
