I predicted this a few months ago, as I had heard he was very sick.

Midnight Oil drummer Rob Hirst dies aged 70

Hirst was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2023.

Speaking with ABC Radio National last year, Hirst said he still performed and wrote but could not play the high-energy shows he did with Midnight Oil for 45 years.
