After a short battle with lung cancer, Sherbet guitarist Harvey James passed away on Saturday night. Also a member of Ariel and Mississippi, 58 year old James will be most remembered for his work with Sherbet.
Cold Chisel drummer Steve Prestwich passed away Sunday afternoon after a brain tumour, aged 56. A founding member of the band, he wrote "When The War Is Over" and "Forever Now" for the iconic Aussie band, and also worked with Little River Band for a time.
Two very sad losses for the Australian music industry.
