Jane’s Mum was a huge part of my life. She used to come on tour with us, all around Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the US. Kusumphorn’s first rock show was Cold Chisel and she was out front at my show when she was 80.

“There’s a party in the Heavens for Mumma’s birthday tonight, on Earth she would have been 89. I am at the beach with my love, where she brought me some 63 years ago, where my earliest memories remain, when Aunty’s house was a sprawling teak holiday home surrounded by coconut palms. Thank you for taking me everywhere you could, to grow up with the world at my feet … to shine … ‘always to shine, to shine everywhere, to the very deeps of the last days, to shine’ (Vladimir Mayakovsky) Happy Heavenly birthday my Beautiful Superstar ✨🌟💫💞🎶💃🙏”
