Australian rock music journalist and broadcaster Glenn A. Baker dies aged 74, multiple outlets report. Several sources say Baker had been battling an illness in recent times, according to statements from a close family friend or a friend and colleague who confirmed his death. Reports describe him as a long-time contributor and commentator on music, including work associated with the Herald in past coverage.
The announcements are consistent across outlets, with the main details focusing on his age at death and the fact that illness preceded his passing. While the specific wording differs—some describe a “brief illness” and others refer to an illness over a period—sources broadly agree that his death followed a period of ill health. ABC and other regional publications present the news as a breaking announcement, while newspapers elsewhere repeat the same confirmation from friends and associates.
