Australian musician Max Merritt, best known for his hit songs, 'Slipping Away' and 'Western Union Man', passed away on Thursday. He was 79.

The singer died in a hospital in Los Angeles after an ongoing health battle. His health had been declining since being diagnosed with Goodpasture syndrome — a rare autoimmune disease that attacks the lungs and kidneys.

Favourite song of his was Slipping Away, a big hit in 70's and on Countdown a bit.

Had a few dealings with Max and various members of the Meteors over the years.

Max was a real good bloke, true professional an a fun guy. You will be missed Max. R.I.P.

I move that Slippin Away become the official forum anthem. It sums up our recruitment.
