Subject: Barry's Ear Op
In Feb 2011 I was on holiday in Miami with shirin & another friend .
I heard via a friend Barry was due for operation to investigate
His hearing loss/pain
We stopped by the hse to leave a get well card for Dick who was recovering
From a heart attack a couple of wks previous, Dick came out to chat with us
For a short time, he told us Barry was due for small op soon to investigate hearing/
Pain problem,Barry had been in constant pain for yrs, they wouldn't know till
After if he would need hearing aid or if problem could be solved,
A couple of fans I know were talking with Linda and Ali about it when they
Attended the Love & Hope Ball a few wks later ,
I was told by friends after it was case of clearing out lot of muck/residue
From previous infections etc as much as any operation is risky it wasn't
Exactly a major op or life threatening & it didn't take him until now to recover

Duh?? Why?
Dwina is part of the Gibb family.
Why would she say an untruth about
another family member? The lawyers
would have a field day if it were libellous.
I see Yasmine agrees with you. However,
Dwina has mentioned the operation in other
Interviews given to UK newspapers
subsequent to Robin passing away.
I'm working off memory now but check
the Daily Mail and Daily Express.
I think there was also something in the
Daily or Sunday Mirror. It's relevance
explains why Barry couldn't rush and fly to
England at a moments notice when
he first found out about Robin's health.
Robin didn't want any publicity about
his health (who would?) so it's inevitable
that there would have been a blanket
cover of silence from those in the know.
Similarly, I don't think Barry wanted to go
around saying to all and sundry that he
had earache.
Imho, I have no reason to dispute what
Dwina said.

Dwina states in regards to Barry
holds no water.

I am most reluctant to reveal my sources
BUT to appease your and others obvious
scepticism on this List, it was Barry who
told me. You can verify that when you
next meet him.
