Loved him as Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar in the 70's - the first live show I saw. Loved him ever since. Sad loss. RIP

I saw Jon English many times in concert when living in Wagga Wagga. He had strong links with the rugby league world over there. His brother also was a lecturer at the university.

One of the great Aussie talents who will be sadly missed. Thankfully his music will live on.

I remember watching him on the mid-day show with Mike Walsh when he collapsed over the piano so they quickly went to an add. There was an interview with him only recently on the panel I recall thinking how well he looked.

Hinch tweeted he made bags under your eye's fashionable LOL

RIP
