Rock legend Billy Thorpe dead

Article from: Herald-Sun

AUSTRALIAN rock legend Billy Thorpe died in a Sydney hospital today after a heart attack. He was 60.

Emergency crews went to his home in Sydney just after midnight, when Thorpe began having chest pains.

He was taken by ambulance to St Vincent's Public Hospital, accompanied by his family.

He remained in emergency in a serious condition but went into cardiac arrest about 2.30am and hospital staff were unable to revive him.

Thorpe was born in England but emigrated with his family to Brisbane in the 1950s.

1. Dammit

"Children Of The Sun" was a great record and Billy was a helluva guitar player.

RIP, Billy.
