We’re very sad that Glenn has left us. The “Rock Brain of the Century” was a funny, intelligent, encyclopedia of music. He was a patron of the Australian Songwriter’s Association.
His family released this statement:
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Glenn A. Baker AM. Glenn passed away this morning, 31 July 2026, three days after his 74th birthday.
Glenn’s contribution to the Australian rock ’n’ roll music landscape was immense, but his family remembers him as a loving father of six and grandfather of thirteen.
Glenn’s passion for music, travel, food and his family (still not entirely sure of the order) was, like his personality, larger than life.
While the family wishes for privacy, if you do wish to honour Glenn or continue his legacy in some way, have a passionate conversation today with somebody about your favourite Australian muso or band.
Rock on Glenn! You will be missed.
