Title: Rock legend Billy Thorpe dies of heart attack
Post by Barry_T_Coles on Feb 27^th, 2007, 8:36pm

Australian Rock legend Billy Thorpe passed away after suffering a major heart attack.
He was a big part of my youth & I saw him many times in concert over the years.
Truly one of the great people of Rock

It was a wonderful era - good music was popular and popular music was good.

R.I.P. Billy.
