Robin Gibb's Son on Father's Coma: "He Has Beaten the Odds"

"He really is something else," Robin-John Gibb says of his famous dad

The Bee Gees hit "Stayin' Alive" has a lot more meaning now that singer Robin Gibb has come out of his weeklong coma.

And along with the doctors, Gibb's family is amazed at his recovery.

His son, Robin-John Gibb, told ITV News today that "the [doctors] gave him an under 10 percent survival chance and he has beaten the odds...he really is something else."

Gibb's doctors released a statement yesterday saying they are "confounded" by his "indomitable fighting spirit and remarkable physical endurance."

"Robin is fully conscious, lucid and able to speak to his loved ones," Dr. Andrew Thillainayagam said. "He is breathing on his own, with an oxygen mask. He is on intravenous feeding and antibiotics."

Gibb fell into a coma after contracting pneumonia during his fight against colon and liver cancer.
