The ARIA Hall of Famer began his career in the 1960s as lead singer with The Masters Apprentices whose hits included Turn Up Your Radio, Living In A Child's Dream, Elevator Driver, 5-10 Man and It's Because I Love you.
Spokeswoman Dianna O'Neill said Keays' death was another sad loss for the Australian music industry following the death of The Angels frontman Doc Neeson last Wednesday.
"We've lost another rock legend," she told AAP.

Dan Sultan - Blackbird (2014)

After a couple of albums dabbling in alt-country and blues territory, Blackbird is pure, big band-driven rock’n’roll at its finest and it feels the man has finally found his feet. A lot has happened in the Melbournite’s world since the release of his ARIA Award-winning sophomore effort Get Out While You Can in 2010. After a couple of years of soul searching, Dan Sultan has surrounded himself with a new band, team and label, as well as heading abroad to Nashville to record with Grammy Award-winning producer Jacquire King (Kings Of Leon, Tom Waits) at the legendary Blackbird Studio (giving the album its name).
