Ed Sheeran and Mick Jagger lead tributes to the late cricketing great Shane Warne, who died March 4 from a suspected heart attacked, aged 52.
He gave so many hours and years of his life to bring joy to others, and was such an amazing friend to me. The king of spin, the cheeky slice of Australiana that will be sorely missed. A statue of Warne stands outside the MCG, and, following his passing, state premier Dan Andrews announced the Great Southern Stand would be renamed the S. K. Warne Stand. “The world keeps taking incredible people away,” he writes, sharing a picture of Warne with Gudinski. “I spoke to Shane on the anniversary of Michael’s passing this week saying we were both raising a glass of 707 in his honour, and now this news comes out. Naturally, the pair from the nation’s capital, Canberra, shared the video that emerged from that special moment. Shane was the kindest heart, and always went above and beyond to make people feel welcome and special.
