AUSTRALIAN entertainer Ian "Turps" Turpie has reportedly died following a battle with cancer. He was 68.

In April last year, it was posted on his official website that he had been undergoing chemotherapy.

"Ian wishes to thank all the people who have contacted him over the past month or two and provide an update on his progress," the website said.
