Kate Gudinski breaks down in tears during her father Michael Gudinski’s memorial 

Kate Gudinski broke down while speaking about her late father Michael Gudinski on Wednesday night.

The 33-year-old pop rock singer tearfully addressed the crowd at Rod Laver Arena, speaking about her ‘precious Dada’.   

She began by saying that the music executive was ‘most importantly a dedicated husband, a loving father and papa.’

The Always There hitmaker composed herself after telling her late dad, ‘To say that I was proud to be your daughter is an understatement.’ 

She then spoke about Michael’s role as a family man. 

She talked of her parents’ lengthy marriage, calling her father and mother Sue Gudinski’s relationship, ‘the perfect example of true, pure love’.

She also said that her music icon father was ‘a proud Papa to our two beautiful girls’. 

‘People have often told me they found him intimidating. But to Matt and I, we have been so lucky to have been blessed with such an affectionate, loving dad,’ she said, breaking down in tears. 

As she wrapped up her touching tribute, Kate admitted ‘I miss your warm embrace’ but that ‘mostly I just miss you’.

‘I will love you with all of my heart and soul forever.’

‘I hope I will see you in my dreams,’ the songstress tearfully concluded. 

As well as Kate, Gudinski was father to a son, Matt, who he shared with wife Sue. 

Kate’s own music career began when she signed to her father’s label, Liberation Music, in 2004. 

Her third single, All I Hear, was an ARIA top 10 hit in 2006. 

Gudinski died in his sleep while at home in Melbourne at the age of 68 earlier this month.
