Sad news with the passing of Philip Brady OAM…
67 years in show business, Philip entertained generations – from television’s early days on Nine, to Nightline with Bruce Mansfield at 3AW…
Philip always went the extra mile to help those in need.
What a phenomenal life lived! pic.twitter.com/6u4QEsJOeZ

I am so sorry to read of the passing of
Philip Brady.
Just a likeable, generous person.
Philip has been a voice on radio for decades, and he will be sadly missed.— Jeff Kennett (@jeff_kennett) February 11, 2025
Very sad to hear of the passing of Phillip Brady. His death closes a wonderful chapter of radio. Melbourne went to sleep listening to Lindsay from Kew, Chris from Broadmeadows, Queenie from Bayswater and Bruce and Phil .
