Gibb, 53, who lives in Miami Beach, was being treated in intensive care Friday, Mount Sinai Medical Center spokeswoman Kathleen Dorkowski said. Gibb was admitted to the hospital Wednesday and underwent surgery Thursday, she 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 ... but everyone is very, very worried," a spokesman for his twin, Robin, said in a statement. Maurice plays bass and keyboard for the group, whose name is short for the Brothers Gibb. The Bee Gees -- Maurice, Robin and their older brother Barry -- have lived in South Florida since the late 1970s. Their younger brother, Andy, who had a successful solo career, died in 1988 at age 30 from a heart ailment. Known for their close harmonies and original sound, the Bee Gees are members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and their 1977 contributions to the "Saturday Night Fever" album made it the best selling movie soundtrack ever. Among their hits on that album are "Stayin' Alive," "More Than a Woman" and "How Deep Is Your Love." Among the group's other hits are the haunting "New York Mining Disaster 1941," "I Started a Joke" and "Lonely Days." The group won seven Grammy Awards together. The Bee Gees' last album was in 2001, entitled "This Is Where I Came In." _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM: Try the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2003 16:30:54 -0500 From: "Anne Simpson" Subject: Re: maurice?!
