Just heard the sad news about Dieter Brummer. I have such fond memories of him when when we did a Neighbours/HomeAway tour together (along with Alex Dimitriades & Dan Falzon) in the UK in the 90s. Such a lovely guy. My heart goes out to his family and friends. #RIPDieterBrummer pic.twitter.com/KFwxfkSYjK
