\n\tTaylor\u2019s passing was confirmed in a social post by ex-drummer Kerry Jacobson.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m writing to share the unexpected and devastating news of the passing of my mentor, my partner in crime for some of the best times, my musical comrade through the hardest of times and my dear friend of decades\u2026the irreplacable (sic) Robert Taylor,\u201d he writes.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMany admired his songwriting and his musical talent and, after all these years people would still speak to me with great reverence of his talent and contribution to Australian music.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI admired his loyalty, I treasured his mateship, I valued his consistency and I absolutely loved it when often the phone would ring and he was up for a chat.\u201d<\/p>\n
