Aussie rock legends Rose Tattoo have confirmed their frontman Angry Anderson is being treated after suffering a heart attack while on tour in Europe.<\/p>\n
The band announced the cancellation of their final European tour on August 10 and in a post on social media channels on Monday, shared that their hardman singer remained in hospital.<\/p>\n
Previously, the Tatts shared a photo of 79-year-old Anderson performing with the band in Cologne on August 8.<\/p>\n
But their next scheduled appearance at the Alcatraz Metal festival in Belgium the next day was cancelled.<\/p>\n
The following day, the band shared Anderson had been hospitalised due to a \u201cmedical issue\u201d and the remaining dates on the farewell European tour would not go ahead.<\/p>\n
The latest update shared that Anderson had suffered \u201ca cardiac arrest\u201d and thanked fans for their messages for his recovery.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour thoughts, prayers and well wishes mean more to Angry and his family than we can express,\u201d the statement on their social pages read.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe would like to let everyone know that Angry suffered a cardiac arrest and is currently in hospital receiving treatment and the care he needs.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt this time, we kindly ask that you please respect the privacy of Angry and his family as they focus on Angry, his treatment and his recovery.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe appreciate everyone\u2019s understanding and ask that you continue to keep Angry and his family in your thoughts and prayers during the days ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n
It appears unlikely the Rose Tattoo run of farewell shows in Australia, due to kick-off in September, will go ahead.<\/p>\n
The band announced recently these shows would be \u201cOur Last Ride\u201d before retiring from the stage after 50 years of hard rocking.<\/p>\n
Since its formation in Sydney in the mid 1970s, the Tatts have proved to be a resilient outfit, replenishing its line-up across the decades to continue performing live.<\/p>\n
They also proved to be an influential music export with Guns N\u2019 Roses among the hard rock heroes who have cited them as inspirations for their sound.<\/p>\n
The Tatts\u2019 classic hits including Bad Boy For Love, Rock\u2019n\u2019Roll Outlaw and We Can\u2019t Be Beaten are rusted on to the Australian soundtrack.<\/p>\n
Anderson\u2019s unlikely power ballad hit Suddenly has been back in the Zeitgeist thanks to the recent Kylie documentary series on Netflix as it soundtracked the iconic Scott and Charlene wedding. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aussie rock legends Rose Tattoo have confirmed their frontman Angry Anderson is being treated after suffering a heart…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":610140,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[258539,258506,258517,258489,258519,258498,249738,258478,258522,258479,258492,258488,34106,149695,460,258502,258505,986,258482,162873,17979,10217,321,258509,157448,93,1813,5878,258518,258497,258528,258490,33496,3709,234311,258477,258520,3175,258508,61,258512,60,258495,258499,258496,258531,3268,10196,1868,258524,258527,22779,243675,258485,258536,258530,258493,19537,9453,258494,3872,258521,258510,29497,258501,258511,258538,258526,258503,258534,258500,258481,258480,258483,258514,258515,258491,258523,258535,235558,258532,258513,258486,258516,258537,258484,258487,258533,258529,258504,258507,24833,1179,247211,258525],"class_list":["post-610139","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-s-understanding","tag-50-years","tag-79-year-old-anderson","tag-a-medical-issue","tag-a-cardiac-arrest","tag-a-heart-attack-while","tag-a-photo","tag-a-post","tag-a-resilient-outfit","tag-ahead-the-band","tag-ahead-the-latest-update","tag-an-influential-music-export","tag-anderson","tag-angry","tag-august","tag-august-10","tag-aussie-rock-legends-rose-tattoo","tag-australia","tag-bad-boy","tag-beaten","tag-belgium","tag-cardiac-arrest","tag-celebrities","tag-classic-hits","tag-cologne","tag-entertainment","tag-europe","tag-fans","tag-farewell-shows","tag-farewell-tour","tag-following-day","tag-guns-n","tag-hard","tag-heart-attack","tag-his-family","tag-his-recovery","tag-his-treatment","tag-hospital","tag-hospital-previously","tag-ie","tag-inspirations","tag-ireland","tag-its-formation","tag-its-line-up","tag-kick-off","tag-live-they","tag-love","tag-monday","tag-netflix","tag-our-last-ride","tag-power-ballad-hit","tag-prayers","tag-respect","tag-rock-legend","tag-rocknroll-outlaw","tag-rose-tattoo","tag-rose-tattoo-frontman-angry-anderson","tag-roses","tag-september","tag-social-media-channels","tag-sydney","tag-the-alcatraz-metal-festival","tag-the-australian-soundtrack-anderson","tag-the-band","tag-the-cancellation","tag-the-care","tag-the-days","tag-the-decades","tag-the-farewell-european-tour","tag-the-hard-rock-heroes","tag-the-iconic-scott-and-charlene-wedding","tag-the-mid-1970s","tag-the-next-day","tag-the-privacy","tag-the-reason-frontman-angry-anderson","tag-the-recent-kylie-documentary-series","tag-the-remaining-dates","tag-the-rose-tattoo-run","tag-the-stage","tag-the-statement","tag-the-tatts","tag-the-zeitgeist-thanks","tag-their-final-european-tour","tag-their-frontman-angry-anderson","tag-their-hardman-singer","tag-their-messages","tag-their-next-scheduled-appearance","tag-their-social-pages","tag-their-sound-the-tatts","tag-these-shows","tag-this-time","tag-tour","tag-treatment","tag-your-thoughts","tag-your-thoughts-and-prayers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610139","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=610139"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610139\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/610140"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=610139"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=610139"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=610139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
