Bernard Zuel
Senior music writer

Jim Keays, who helped kick off garage rock in Australia and then helped transform the Masters Apprentices into one of the best pop and rock bands of the 1960s and ‘70s, has died.

Keays, who was 67, was diagnosed with multiple myeloma seven years ago but released an album of modern garage rock in 2012, recently recorded another album and continued touring with two of his '60s contemporaries, Darryl Cotton and Russell Morris as Cotton Keays and Morris.

He died at 10.30 this morning from pneumonia related to the multiple myeloma.

Morris paid tribute, saying: "Jim was one of my closest, and dearest friends - I spoke to him everyday. He was exceptionally brave, erudite, funny and incredibly talented. I loved him very much, and I will miss him greatly - but he will live on; in our hearts, and through the wonderful music he created."
