Wayne Stevens (May 1958 – 7 November 2020) was best known by the stage name Bones Hillman. The name Hillman was coined from the car he drove.
In late 1979, Hillman joined the New Zealand band the Swingers with Phil Judd (ex-Split Enz) and Mark Hough (a.k.a. Buster Stiggs, ex-Suburban Reptiles) before the band disintegrated in 1983.
Moving to Australia as part of The Swingers in 1980 and living there until 2002, Hillman was perhaps best known for his work with Midnight Oil, replacing Peter Gifford in 1987 as bass player.
During the hiatus of Midnight Oil, Hillman returned to New Zealand, working as a studio and live musician with Dave Dobbyn and recorded the album Available Light.
In 2017, Hillman participated in a Midnight Oil reunion and tour.
