God, that sentence, desperately needed a comma.

My pronoun, is now a comma.

Bones Hillman's bass was exemplary but his vocals were intrinsic to Midnight Oil's sound

:(  this was nice to see…their just-released The Makarrata Project, which debuted at No. 1 in the Australian chart the day before his death.
I'm sure it was nice to have some jubilation before his passing

In fact, just a few hours before his tragic passing he received confirmation that The Makarrata Project had debuted at the top of the ARIA Album Charts. It was Midnight Oil’s first new music #1 since Hillman’s very first record with the band, Blue Sky Mining, way back in 1990.
“Bonesy leaves giant shoes to fill but we’ll need to find a new bass player for this tour”, said drummer Rob Hirst. “On this issue Bones was clear: ‘the show must go on!’, he said, ‘as soon as it’s safe to play gigs again’. We’re hoping that these Makarrata Live shows will increase awareness of The Uluru Statement From The Heart and further the reconciliation between First Nations and non-Indigenous Australians and we’ll also be dedicating the tour to Bones.”
