We are shattered and grieving the loss of our brother Rob. For now there are no words but there will always be songs. Love Always from Jim, Martin & Pete.
Rob Hirst was the real deal. As the beating heart of Midnight Oil, he showered us with the generosity of his talent and his spirit.
Rob was amazing to listen to and every bit as phenomenal to watch. His power and energy was so incredible you got exhausted just looking at him, but Rob kept on going.
For Australians - and for so many fans across the world - Rob built a mighty jukebox that we will always carry in our hearts.
He was a genius. A great Australian. A legend.
May he rest in peace.
A terrible loss for Rob’s friends and family and for Australian music. Rob’s energy and talent were on display at every concert, as were his kindness and decency every time you met him. https://t.co/BzYKpCKdtz
