Rolf Harris (30 March 1930 – 23 May 2023) was an Australian entertainer whose career encompassed work as a musician, singer-songwriter, composer, comedian, actor, painter and television personality. He often used unusual instruments in his performances: he played the didgeridoo and the stylophone and is credited with the invention of the wobble board. Harris was convicted in 2014 of the sexual assault of four underage girls, which effectively ended his career.
