Australia’s federal minister for the arts, Tony Burke, reacted to the news on social media, paying tribute to Durham as “an icon of our music”.
“Durham demonstrated in song after song, concert after concert, how the human voice can reach, and move, every one of us,” Dutton said in a statement. “Her language was uniquely Australian, and her voice a gift of universal beauty.” Durham received a number of accolades during her career including the Medal of the Order of Australia for services to music in 1995, particularly as an entertainer and composer, and the Centenary Medal in 2003.
