When his popularity diminished in the later 1960s, Mike went into musical theatre, as shows like Hair, Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar became the in thing.
In 1973, an entirely new Australian musical called "Nuclear" opened in King's Cross, Sydney, with Mike Furber as one of the featured artists. The reviews were terrible, and audiences stayed away.
The promoters sacked most of the cast, then rewrote the entire show, but it was still a huge flop.
Sadly, this was the last chance for Mike Furber in show business and he took his own life in that year.
