Gary "Angry" Anderson, the iconic frontman of Australian hard rock legends ROSE TATTOO, has been hospitalized after suffering a cardiac arrest.
The update on Anderson's medical condition comes three weeks after it was announced that all remaining shows of ROSE TATTOO's summer 2026 European tour were being canceled due to a "medical issue" affecting the 79-year-old singer.
In a statement released on Sunday (August 30),Angry's ROSE TATTOO bandmates thanked fans for their "overwhelming messages of support, love and kind words" in the 20 days since Anderson's hospitalization.
"We would like to let everyone know that Angry suffered a cardiac arrest and is currently in hospital receiving treatment and the care he needs," ROSE TATTOO's statement reads.
"At 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.
"We appreciate everyone's understanding and ask that you continue to keep Angry and his family in your thoughts and prayers during the days ahead," the statement adds.
"We are incredibly grateful for the love and support that has already been shown. It is comforting to know just how many people are thinking of Angry and wishing him strength in his recovery.
"Thank you again for your kindness, understanding, and continued support."
At the time of Angry's hospitalization, ROSE TATTOO had nine shows remaining on the "One Last Ride" tour, with the trek set to conclude on August 21 in Busdorf, Germany.
ROSE TATTOO is scheduled to play several farewell shows in Australia in September, including in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane. It is not presently clear if those gigs will go ahead.
Six former ROSE TATTOO members have died in recent years, including four of the original recording lineup: Dallas Royall (1991),Peter Wells (2006),Ian Rilen (2006),Mick Cocks (2009) and Lobby Loyde (2007),who was a member between October 1979 and September 1980, and Neil Smith (2013),who played bass temporarily prior to Loyde.
