One of Australia's most prominent Indigenous musicians, Dr G Yunupingu as he is being called out of respect for cultural reasons and his family's request, has died at age 46.

 

Dr Yunupingu died in Royal Darwin Hospital last Tuesday after suffering for years from poor health that stemmed from contracting hepatitis B as a child.
