There was a segment on the local nightly current-affairs program only 1-2 years ago where the camera crew went into the nursing home he was staying at and interviewed him and his partner. I was shocked to see the state he was in. He could hardly talk properly. It made me genuinely sad.
It could be argued that he and George Young and Harry Vanda put Australia on the world stage in the music scene. A huge feat, if true.
There will never be another one like him.
I hate to use an American cliche at this time but I gotta say "ROCK ON, Stevie!"

Interestingly, check out the crowd size. Huge!
Then check out the kids hanging around actually on the edge of the stage. This is the case all the way through. Infact, there are more kids there at the end of the song. What security? That is so funny compared to how it is now. No terrorists, no guys with adverse reactions to Aropax, nothing like that so no security staff needed at all. No 2nd-thought. No analysis.
Just be there with the music - - - - total bliss.
