Even after intense sessions with with a physiotherapist, Humphries situation worsened a week ago. He was believed to be “cracking jokes” during visits from family and friends, including collaborator Andrew Ross. He died surrounded by his family, including his wife Lizzie Spender — who Humphries was married to for 30 years — as well as his children, including London-based sons Rupert and Oscar, and Australian-based daughters Emily and Tessa, and 10 grandchildren.

, Humphries died at Sydney St Vincent’s Hospital on Saturday. He was being treated for various health issues and had been pushing aside concerns about how serious his condition was. He was first admitted to hospital in February of this year due to falling in his Sydney apartment. Humphries injured his hip during the accident and required a hip replacement. The following month, in March, Humphries told that the accident was “ridiculous” and he was even feeling optimistic enough to tour the country in 2023. “It was the most ridiculous thing, like all domestic incidents are. I was reaching for a book, my foot got caught on a rug or something, and down I went,” he said. “I have to get back on my feet … I’m going back on tour later this year. The result of my broken hip means I now have a titanium hip … you can call me Bionic Bazza,” Humphries continued. Entertainment Reporter reported that Humphries was readmitted to hospital just days after being discharged.
