Earlier on Saturday, the UK's The Sun reported the singer was in a coma, adding that his family members - including wife Dwina and brother Barry - were at his bedside.

Gibb underwent intestinal surgery last month and was forced to bow out of the London premiere of his first classical work, "Titanic Requiem," due to illness.
