I cannot believe this, he was only 60 years old and my hubby and I had the pleasure of seeing him last Thursday night at a venue in Torquay and he was fantastic. Even conned hubby into get up close and take some pics. I am so glad we went and experienced his great talent but so sad by this news! :) caramello. RIP Billie.

I heard this sad news this morning. I thought of you as you had put up a discussion about going to see him and wondered if he had done that concert yet. He was a great Australian Legend. There are so many that are passing away. I suppose it just shows our age.....So glad you got to see him again.

shaz, my Dad passed away at 58 and always thought that was too young and 60 is still young too but what a life he had and how he made the most of it!

Billy Thorpe will be sorely missed.
I hate how the greats always seem to go of something like a heart attack or something sudden.
I'm glad you and your hubby got to go see him, and got some pictures as well as some cherished memories.
May his legend live on.

I have still not learnt to spell his name right after all these years as have always spelt it Billie, maybe thought it suited him better that way! He certainly was a great talent lilaclady and a rock legend that will live on in our hearts.
