Midnight Oil Drummer Rob Hirst Dead At 70 Rob Hirst, the founding drummer for Australian new wave greats Midnight Oil, has died. Hirst died due to complications from pancreatic cancer. "After fighting heroically for almost three years, Rob is now free of pain — 'a glimmer of tiny light in the wilderness,'" Hirst's Midnight Oil bandmates write in a statement on their socials. "He died peacefully, surrounded by loved ones." In a separate statement shared to ABC, the band writes, "We are shattered and grieving the loss of our brother Rob. For now there are no words but there will always be songs." Hirst was 70. The post Midnight Oil Drummer Rob Hirst Dead At 70 appeared first on Stereogum.

I have 4 of these limited edition, hand signed, and numbered 12" x 18" posters left that were lovingly created by the wonderful Wes Freed for Guitartown's 19th anniversary at Kings in Raleigh, NC in 2018. (More info in the accompanying post).

Rob Hirst (Midnight Oil, Backsliders, The Break, Angry Tradesmen) with Two excited young lads, a gorgeous woman, and a Backsliders LP.

Last night was a good night. It was particularly nice to see Rob Hirst in top form, and for The Lad and his mate to meet one of their heroes. #backsliders
