London, June 12 (IANS) Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb, who passed away following a long battle with liver and colon cancer, told his wife Dwina he wanted to go home moments before he died.

He mouthed to me, 'Dwina, I want to go home.' Instead, he is now on his last journey. But at least I know he is safe. I am proud of Robin's life, what he has achieved and the inspiration and the happiness he gave so many people, Dwina said.

I am devastated to have lost my best friend, my husband, my brother. Robin was everything to me. I shall miss him for the rest of my life, thesun.co.uk quoted Dwina as saying.

The veteran singer died aged 62 in a medical centre last month and was laid to rest after a moving funeral service Friday.
