SMH → Jon English obituary: from rock to opera, a mainstay of Aussie entertainment

We are still in shock over the sudden death of Aussie legend Jon English. Born in 1949, he passed away on March 9 2016, just two weeks shy of his 67th birthday.

This beautiful piece, penned by Glenn A. Baker in the Sydney Morning Herald on March 11, is so poignant and perfect, we had to share.

Vale Jon English. What a man.
