RIP Sir Howard Morrison

Most will have heard the news by now:

Sir Howard died suddenly in Rotorua this morning, aged 74. …

Sir Howard’s family confirmed the singer’s death to the Herald this morning, saying he had become ill while visiting Rarotonga last week.

His condition had not improved since his return a few days ago. …

Very sad, as generally he appeared to still be full of life, and lots to live for. He was one of the giants of New Zealand entertainment.

The Herald has tributes.
