Australian musician Doug Parkinson has died aged 74 .
The soul, rock and pop singer’s career spanned more than five decades and his solo career was launched in the mid-70s after he played with several bands.
He was honoured in News Corp Australia’s top 50 Australian singers in January and was set to perform in South Australia on Thursday.
Musician Marcia Hines paid tribute to Mr Parkinson on social media, saying “not only will the Australian music industry be sad to hear of your passing my friend, the world will have far less melody without you here to sing for us any longer”.
