Barry Humphries death latest — Tributes pour in as Dame Edna Everage star dies aged 89

AUSTRALIAN entertainer Barry Humphries has died aged 89 after being re-admitted to hospital due to “complications” from surgery.

The star – best known for his alter ego Dame Edna Everage – was readmitted to hospital in Sydney after suffering a “serious” health setback after a routine operation.

Last month, he underwent hip replacement surgery following a fall at home.

He admitted that the rehabilitation was “very painful” when he spoke to a journalist in March.

It comes just weeks after Humphries revealed he was in “agony” following a fall at his home in February that left him needing a hip replacement.
