Ignatius Jones, better known as 바카라�Jimmy And The Boys바카라� lead vocalist, died at home in the Philippines. His death has brought on a bout of sadness to the entire world of music and musicians. The death is a tremendous loss to the entire community.

For the unversed, Ignatius Jones, who gained an Australian citizen in 1971, headlined Sydney바카라�s shock rock band 바카라�Jimmy And The Boys바카라� during the 1970s and 1980s. They had many hits, including a 1979 rendition of The Kinks바카라� 바카라�I바카라�m Not Like Everyone Else바카라� and 1981바카라�s 바카라�They Won바카라�t Let My Girlfriend Talk To Me바카라�.

Monica Trapaga, the late star바카라�s sister, confirmed his death in a message on X. She said that he had been suffering a short illness before dying.

바카라�He died peacefully at 9.30pm, Sydney time, last night (7 May) at Iloilo City, the Philippines,바카라� the statement said. 바카라�His friends and family will remember Iggy as a bon-vivant, a lively raconteur and a real Renaissance man, immensely and passionately knowledgeable in history and the arts. The arts community in Australia has lost a champion, and dinner parties will now be less interesting, with his passing,바카라� added the statement.

바카라�He is survived by his husband, Novy, his mother, Margot Martin, his brother Luis Miguel, sisters, Rocio and Monica, and a gaggle of nieces and nephews,바카라� the statement added.

Aside from his music career, Ignatius Jones has played an important role in some of Australia바카라�s most significant events during the previous three decades. The singer oversaw the Sydney New Year바카라�s Eve Celebrations for six years (from 1996 to 2002), as well as the City of Sydney바카라�s Millennium Celebrations. He also collaborated with David Atkins as Artistic Director for the Sydney Olympic Games Opening and Closing Ceremonies. Ignatius Jones also directed the 2002 Gay Games Opening Ceremony, which had an attendance of 38,000.

In appreciation of his contributions, he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Australian Event Awards in 2017. Ignatius Jones was also awarded the Order of Australia for his contributions to the arts as a writer, director, actor, and author in 2019.
