It was reported in the West Australien of 13 March on page 5 that Troy Newman died in

<MYSTERY OVER SINGER'S DEATH
Mystery surrounds the death of one of Perth's musical exports, singer-songwriter Troy
Newman.
Newman died suddenly in Sydney last week, aged 33.
Friends contacted by the West Australian this week said they did not know the cause of
death.
Newman began writing songs while attending Hollywood Senior High School.
He fronted the Extremists and was a member of the popular local band the Boys with
Eddie Parise and Frank Celenza, who later moved on to the Baby Animals.
At 18, Newman moved to Sydney and signed a deal with Warner Music, which relaeased his
1991 debut album Gypsy Moon. One of its singles, Love Gets Rough, made Billboard's top
100.
Newman also appeared in the musical Bad Boy Johnny and the Prophets of Doom.
A friend who worked with Newman in Perth during the promotion of Gypsy Moon said Newman
was passionate and loved to write songs and play guitar.
Newman returned to Sydney last year after spending time in LA, where he released
another album. He was writing and working on a new album at the time of his death.

on Sunday.
A Perth memorial service will be held before Easter at the sundial, near Cootesloe
Beach groyne. Details wil be published in the funeral notices section of the West
