I don't know if this has been mentioned yet but, Jon English(26/3/1949-9/3/2016) australian music legend has passed away from Surgery complications. He was not expected to die from what was described as minor surgery. Very sad. I saw him in Pirates of Penzance in the Eighties. He was very funny.

Not the only one Kimba ... but probably only us Aussies were aware of his great all round talent, especially in musicals I loved his work.
