SYDNEY: New music from world-renowned Australian Aboriginal singer Gurrumul will be released next month, his record label said, with one album already completed as part of a documentary. The singer, who was born blind and never gave any interviews, passed away on Tuesday after a long battle with illness aged 46. He was hailed for having the “voice of an angel” and his career included collaborations with the likes of Elton John and Sting. We’ve been waiting on it for a while,” Skinnyfish Music Australia managing director Mark Grose told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation late Wednesday. Under Aboriginal custom, the publication of images of a recently deceased person is prohibited.
