SHANE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN

-

RUSSELL CROWE

“Woke this morning to the devastatin­g news. Having a hard time accepting it. Genius player. Grand company. Loyal friend.”

ANDY LEE

“He opened so many doors for me to the sport I loved and we shared a lot of yarns playing another sport we both loved.”

HUGH JACKMAN

“I’m grateful to have known him and to have witnessed his once-ina-generation talent. My heartfelt sympathies to his family.”

DANNII MINOGUE

”My heart breaks for his family and friends. He was such a light and energy in the room. He was always lovely to my whole family. He knew that I didn’t have a clue about cricket, but he liked that. To me, he was just Shane.”

LARA WORTHINGTO­N

“You were such a huge part of my life. So fiercely protective and always the gentleman. You changed our world!”

ELTON JOHN

“A tragic day for Australian cricket. Two legends passing is heartbreak­ing. I knew them both and played cricket with Rod [Marsh] in Perth. A very special and fearless man. Shane was a magical bowler and such huge fun. They were both Australian­s through and through, which made them so endearing.”

ED SHEERAN

“He gave so many hours and years of his life to bring joy to others, and was such an amazing friend to me.“
