==Death==
On 18 July 2015, Ellis reported on his blog that he would be attending hospital for what he called "ominous" tests on his liver. The next day he announced "The news is very bad", and that the tests had revealed he had advanced [[liver cancer]] with a prognosis that he had months, if not weeks, to live.<ref name="cancer">{{cite news|last1=Dumas|first1=Daisy|title=Bob Ellis reveals he has weeks to live|url=http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/bob-ellis-reveals-he-has-weeks-to-live-20150719-gifq33.html|access-date=4 April 2016|work=The Sydney Morning Herald|date=20 July 2015}}</ref>
