_**WITH GREAT SADNESS**_

With great sadness we announce the passing of our singer Ron S Peno who left us 
peacefully on Friday evening in the presence of his loving wife Charity and his 
son Zebadiah, at his home in South Yarra, Melbourne.

For the last four and a half years as he battled cancer, Ron displayed a resolute
positivity and a profound depth of character that has proved inspirational to his
fellow band members, manager and many friends. In the face of adversity he was towering.

For the 40 years Ron entertained us as Died Pretty’s frontman he was never less 
than always charismatic. He has provided warm and enduring memories for those who
shared the stage with him and for his audience. For many he is the soundtrack of
their lives. He leaves us a legacy of extraordinary recordings that will continue
to be treasured into the future.

Our hearts go out to Charity, Zebadiah and all his family and friends at this time.
Ron will be sorely missed. The world will be a smaller place without him.

Ron’s family and Died Pretty would like to thank his medical team at St Vincent’s
Hospital, the Calvary Bethlehem palliative care team, Support Act and everyone who
made a donation or sent a message of love during Ron’s time of need.

_**– DIED PRETTY**_
