We’re grieving the loss of our brother Bones Hillman, who has passed away at his home in Milwaukee today after a cancer battle. He was the bassist with the beautiful voice, the band member with the wicked sense of humour, and our brilliant musical comrade. pic.twitter.com/qP5EJqZowL

Tributes

This absolute legend. A kind, brilliant musician. Bones Hillman was more than a bass player in @midnightoilband, his spirit roamed free and touched my soul. Taken today at 62 by cancer. I took this photo in ’17 in Memphis. I will miss him forever.
Godspeed, Bones. pic.twitter.com/7uIh43C804

Really bummed to learn just now that Bones Hillman died today at age 62. Midnight Oil is one of my all time favorite bands. They just put a new album out last week.

So very sad to hear Wayne Stevens, known as Bones Hillman, bass player, vocalist & all round musical rock star with the Oils, lost his battle with cancer & passed away in Milwaukee this weekend. Great Kiwi who adopted our country & added to our musical heritage RIP

So sad to hear of the passing of Bones Hillman, who played in some extraordinary bands: Suburban Reptiles, The Swingers, and Midnight Oil. He joined the Suburban Reptiles after a stint in the Masochists: https://t.co/4o0dAe7BFm https://t.co/BSjY4150aU
