A throng of celebrities have arrived to pay their respects at Aussie music icon Michael Gudinski’s funeral.
From sports stars to international artists and TV hosts, the who’s who of Australia’s celebrity scene has stepped out to farewell the country’s godfather of music.

The Mushroom Records founder died peacefully in his sleep, aged 68, last week at his Melbourne home.
Gudinski is survived by his wife, Sue, and their children Matt and Kate and two grandchildren.
One of the last projects Gudinski was working on was to bring US streaming series Landmarks Live to Australia, showcasing major local and international artists at iconic Aussie locations.
