AUSTRALIAN rock legend Billy Thorpe died in a Sydney hospital today after a heart attack. He was 60.

Emergency crews went to his home in Sydney just after midnight, when Thorpe began having chest pains.
He was taken by ambulance to St Vincent's Public Hospital, accompanied by his family.

He remained in emergency in a serious condition but went into cardiac arrest about 2.30am and hospital staff were unable to revive him.
Thorpe was born in England but emigrated with his family to Brisbane in the 1950s.

He moved to Sydney in 1963 and recorded his first song the next year with his band Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs.

They went on to perform at sellout venues across Australia and had a string of hits in the 60s and 70s, including Some People I Know.

His music career spanned five decades and he also wrote two autobiographies.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants think about that
