Sources seem to differ as to whether his given name is Wayne, Duane, or Dwayne. Which is it? Muzilon (talk) 07:55, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

By the time his death was announced, it is the 7th because he died in the States? Australia is ahead of the States and these articles are from Australia. Cristabel0 (talk) 12:33, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

His actual date of death according to the band was November 8. This is the date displayed on screen (as well as his actual date of birth) at the conclusion of the Midnight Oil gig near Geelong, Victoria, Australia on March 20 2021. I can supply a pic of it.
