Disgraced former entertainer Rolf Harris has passed away

LONDON – Rolf Harris, a mainstay of family entertainment in the UK and Australia for more than 50 years before his career fell in disgrace with charges of indecent assault on young girls, has died. PA Media reported on Tuesday.

Harris, 93, born in Australia, has severe neck cancer and is in 24-hour care, local media reported late last year.

He performed with The Beatles, painted portraits of Queen Elizabeth and introduced himself as the inventor of the novel musical instrument, the wobbling board.

His song Two Little Boys spent six weeks at number 1 in the UK, the last chart-topping song of the 1960s and the first of the 1970s. In 1993, the cover His wobbly board of Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven also charted in the UK.

But as his stardom fades, the veteran entertainer becomes one of the most famous celebrities embroiled in a large-scale British police investigation, following revelations about the presenter. The late BBC television presenter, Jimmy Savile, was a child abuser. REUTERS
