Respected Australian music photographer Ros O'Gorman has passed away at the age of 58.
A statement given to Noise 11 by O'Gorman's husband, Paul Cashmere, confirmed she passed away yesterday.
"Tonight we lost Ros O'Gorman, a beautiful lady, a perfect wife, mother and grandmother. My wife of 37 years has left the stage," the statement reads.
"For her, life was first three songs, no flash and then leave. She would like you all to know that this time she hasn’t stayed for the whole show.
"Ros was only diagnosed with cancer of April 10. It was aggressive. Then on Sunday around 5pm we were told just how aggressive it was.
"Ros loved life, she loved the family we created together and she loved you. She was a role-model to so many and a world-class music photographer."
"Tim, Haylee and I were so grateful for the life she gave us and for sharing her last moments with us. She had a wonderful farewell with her closest family."
