Really sorry to hear that, I met Phil once when he came to Kununurra to do a guitar show at the leisure centre, pretty cool bloke, he will be missed.
Fortunately I got to see an Emmanuel Brothers gig in the late '80s. They'd come straight from a Telethon, arrived late and had the time of their lives, played until the wee hours of the morning. It was one of the most fun gigs I've ever seen.

Going just by the comments by those who worked with him on my Facebook feed he was a much loved larrikin almost as much as he was loved as a guitar player.
Odd and funny stories of trips from places like Lismore to Brisbane to attend Telethons and the like, and of gigs all over the country that went one step beyond awesome, and jam sessions on pub tours that were unforgettable moments to name just a few, it is obvious to me there will be many in the larger Australian music community who will deeply feel the loss of this great Australian guitar legend .... far greater than I can find the words for....

I never caught Phil live, sadly, but everything I've ever seen of him carries an enormous sense of fun in what he was doing as well as being an immensely talented player...
... he will be missed.

Top guy,seen him & Tommy play a few times and also met him up here at Nambour not so long ago.
Great talent that will be sadly missed.
