Australian music promoter and celebrity agent Harry M. Miller has died aged 84.

The “visionary” entrepreneur died peacefully in Sydney on Wednesday, HMMG, the agency he founded, said in a statement.

“By his side were his long-term partner Simmone Logue, daughters Justine, Brook and Lauren and their mother Wendy,” it said.

Harry Maurice Miller was born in Auckland, New Zealand on January 6, 1934, the only child of Jewish parents, Sadie and Jim Miller.

When Miller was two years old his father, who worked as an indent agent, broke his spine in a fall. He died six years later.

“The Jewish community bundled me off to a Jewish orphanage in Wellington… called Dextons,” Miller later recalled.
