Colin Burgess Dies Aged 77
Dec 17^th, 2023 at 11:53am

Founding AC/DC drummer and ARIA Hall of
Fame inductee Colin Burgess has died.

No cause of death was given.

Burgess was recruited in November 1973 to help
form AC/DC with Malcolm Young on rhythm guitar
and his brother Angus on lead guitar, lead vocalist
Dave Evans and bassist Larry Van Kriedt.

Before AC/DC, Burgess played with the Australian
rock group The Masters Apprentices, which was
inducted into the Australian Recording Industry
Association Hall of Fame in 1998.

RIP.

Being rich and having access to good medical care, he would have recovered enough to live a slightly below-par old age.

Never heard of him.
Nor he of me.
Rest in peace.
We are not far behind him.

Rich?

Colin Burgess net worth or net income is estimated to be between $1 Million – $5 Million dollars.
He has made such amount of wealth from his primary career as Drummer.

Anyone who owns a house in Australia has a net worth of $1 Million.

I wouldn't call that "rich".

I would deem having a net worth between $1 million and $5 million to be quite well off. And regardless, even if he was doing "okay", he would be accessing medical care to prolong his life. I could imagine that he decided to stop drinking (or cut back considerably) years ago so that he could get to 77 years of age.

There is no viable evidence supporting the claims
of many of these absurd "pseudo-biography" sites as
they—like us—simply don't know.

Even as a guess, I'd say Burgess wasn't even close
to a $5 million fortune. Bear in mind that he was only
a part of Acca-dacca for a couple of months before
he was fired for on-stage drunkenness.

Yes - he probably died penniless.

Many of them do.

Indeed.

Australian musicians, generally speaking, aren't rich.

Quite the opposite.

That's because their focus is upon Sex Predation.
Isn't that right eh, Peccary?

We are not talking about some guy that was in AC/DC for a few months and then left to do nothing before AC/DC became very famous. Burgess was in various bands that did sell okay in albums and made money at concerts. I would assume that Mr Burgess would have made some money in related fields. None of which is any of my business. But, I doubt he died broke. He made it to 77 years of age, after all.
