Angry Anderson, Rose Tattoo frontman known for 'Suddenly,' dies at 79
The Australian rock singer fronted Rose Tattoo but was best known for his solo hit 'Suddenly,' which soundtracked a wedding scene in Neighbours.
Australian rock singer Angry Anderson has died at the age of 79. Anderson fronted the rock band Rose Tattoo but became best known internationally for his solo hit "Suddenly."
The song gained lasting popularity after it was used to soundtrack a wedding scene in the Australian soap opera Neighbours, a moment that introduced the track, and Anderson, to audiences far beyond Australia's rock scene.
Anderson's career spanned decades, during which he built a reputation as one of Australian rock's distinctive voices, both as Rose Tattoo's frontman and through his solo work. Tributes are expected from across the Australian music industry.
