Gary “Angry” Anderson, the frontman of Australian rock band Rose Tattoo, dies at 79. Multiple outlets report that the band announced his death via its official Instagram account, saying he passed away on the evening of Sept. 21 in Sydney, Australia.
Several reports add details about his recent illness. One outlet says Anderson dies surrounded by family after suffering a cardiac arrest in Europe, while another says he was hospitalised following a cardiac arrest while touring in Germany. Other coverage notes he had been hospitalised only weeks earlier, without consistently specifying the location or the timing beyond late August.
Across the stories, the central points remain consistent: Anderson is the lead singer of Rose Tattoo, his death is confirmed by the band, and he had recently been hospitalised after a cardiac arrest during European touring. Outlets vary in emphasis, with some focusing on the circumstances of the arrest and others on the timeframe between hospitalisation and his death.
