It is with overwhelming sadness that Musicoast Pty. Ltd. and
Universal Music Australia announces the death of international music legend
Judith Durham, aged 79. After a brief stay in the Alfred Hospital, Judith was
admitted to Palliative Care on Friday 5 August, where she passed away
peacefully that evening. Her death was a result of complications from a
long-standing chronic lung disease.
On behalf of Keith Potger AO and Bruce Woodley AO, Athol Guy
AO said, “Our lives are changed forever losing our treasured lifelong friend
and shining star. Her struggle was intense and heroic - never complaining of
her destiny and fully accepting its conclusion. Her magnificent musical legacy
Keith, Bruce and I are so blessed to share.”
Judith's beloved sister Beverley Sheehan spoke of the
closeness they shared throughout life, including their love of music.
"Judith's joy for life, her constant optimism, creativity and generosity
of spirit were always an inspiration to me".
Judith’s family has asked for privacy at this time.
