Greg Ham, perhaps best known for his flute riffing in the song " Land Down Under" by Men at Work has died aged 58 in Melbourne Australia.
The cause of Hams death is yet to be released, however police were called to his home after he failed to attend a pharmacy appointment.
Greg Ham played saxophone and flute in Men At Work from 1979 to 1986. In recent years the flute riff he played in "Land Down Under" came under fire by Larrikan Music the copyright owners of the oldtime Australian song " Kookaburra Sitting In The Old Gum Tree." A court decided in 2010 that the flute portion of the "Land Down Under" had been copied from "Kookaburra Sitting In The Old Gum Tree." Most of the populace are still scratching their heads about the decision.
Greg Ham continued to work alongside Colin Hay of Men At Work intermittently from the 1990's onwards. He is survived by his wife and two children.
