Australian singer Judith Durham of folk group The Seekers has died aged 79.

The songstress passed away on Friday night following a long battle with chronic lung disease.

She had been in palliative care at the Alfred Hospital before her death from complications with the disease.

The Seekers were best known for their hits I'll Never Find Another You and Georgy Girl.

The quartet made their debut in 1963 and quickly made history as the first Australian pop act to have major crossover success in the UK and America.

They famously performed on The Ed Sullivan Show multiple times and in 1966 they performed in front of the Queen Mother Elizabeth at the London Palladium.

The Seekers have sold over 50million records throughout their career.



Bless her heart she was such a sweet lady...R.I.P

One of the most beautiful voices ever. One of my favorites:
"Plaisir d'amour" ([plɛ.ziʁ da.muʁ], "Pleasure of love") is a classical French love song written in 1784 by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini

So sorry to hear that she had lung cancer.
I really enjoyed her singing too.

I understand she had a life long Lung condition ( bronchiectasis)... she once said in an interview that she married a Vegetarian, and expected him to live till he was 90 ( he was Her British Husband , and Musical director and composer).. and expected she would die from the lung condition by the time she was 60... In the event she lost her husband back in '94 from MND...after 25 years of marriage, . and she went on to live for almost another 30 years.. ..she's throughly convinced they will meet again in the afterlife.. I hope they do..
