    "comment": "(ABC - AUSTRALIA) Midnight Oil drummer Rob Hirst has died aged 70.\n\nHirst \"died peacefully, surrounded by loved ones\", according to a statement posted on Midnight Oil's social media.\n\n\"After fighting heroically for almost three years, Rob is now free of pain — 'a glimmer of tiny light in the wilderness,'\" the statement read.\n\n\"The family asks that anyone wanting to honour Rob donate to Pankind, Pancreatic Cancer Australia or Support Act.\"\n\nHirst was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2023.\n\nThe band's statement said: \"We are shattered and grieving the loss of our brother Rob. For now there are no words but there will always be songs.\"\n\nAs well as the band's drummer, Hirst was a songwriter on many Midnight Oil hits.\n\nHe has writing credits on songs including Beds Are Burning, Blue Sky Mine and Read About It.\n\n--\n\nFrom the band's eighth album, the song  \"My Country\" is a scathing rebuke of blind nationalism. \n--\n\"This is not a case of blurred vision, it's a case of black holes, pocket\nHoles, soul holes...\"  Read the lyrics: https://genius.com/Midnight-oil-my-country-lyrics\n--\nAnd, watch a 1994 live performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTiR8ekGEI0",
