    Gibb was hospitalized last year for stomach and colon problems and had intestinal surgery last month.

    He was forced to miss the London premiere of his classical "Titanic Requiem" this week because of illness. His son Robin-John Gibb said the family was "praying for him and hoping he has a speedy recovery."
