Judith Durham

Recommended Posts

Listening to some song mix on Spotify the seekers came up.  Just wondering what ever happened to Judith Durham aged 77 on 3rd July.  Had a stroke in 2013 but haven't heard anything from her in a long while.  

 

Still alive and apparently still singing, but her stroke left her with writing and reading disabilities. 

 

Definite obit material.  Thoughts?

With your record for starting threads, what ever happened to Durham? A BBC obit by Euro 2020!

Why are we sending children to school instead of inducing strokes in them?

The Seekers are my secret love.

Judiths voice was just wonderful, as a group, so together, perfect.

I think, when she goes, Australia will go into a week of official mourning.

Read up on her and a bit shocked to see she left the Seekers last year, after being with them from their formation in 1962 until 1968, and then again from their 1992 reunion onwards. She has retired from live performances completely. Eek!

She is no youngster, maybe the vocals are not what they were.

You should go out at the top.

If only McCartney had gone out on a high.....

I’ve seen some fairly recent performances of hers on YouTube and she still sounded pretty much as she used to. 
PS I am a McCartney super fan and I don’t want him to ever stop! ;)

Sadly a goner this year.:(

I'm glad she had longer but hope she didn't suffer. RIP.

The blows keep coming.

 

OldWillz and Mrs OldWillz big fans, so a lot of her voice in my childhood homes. Georgy Girl and Morningtown in particular. If there is a beyond, I know they will welcome Judith with open arms.

 

RIP.

This is a rarity of a prediction which got an EXTRA YEAR added to it (thanks to covid delays) and was still wrong...
