Angry Anderson has confirmed that he will retire Rose Tattoo in 2025, fifty years after the band began in Sydney in 1976.
Speaking with Darren James and Lee Simon on 3AW Melbourne, Angry said that “nearly 50 years later and we wrap it up next year, ‘26, for good. We will be 50 years old in ’26 on New Years Eve. I am proud to say, because I have survived all the original members (and a few along the way), we have achieved what we set out to do. At the end of the day if you can say that you are a lucky man.”
Listen to Angry in his own words announcing the end of Rose Tattoo:
Rose Tattoo will go out with a final album as well. The last Rose Tattoo album was ‘Blood Brothers’ in 2007. That album featured a cover of the Stevie Wright rocker ‘Black-Eyed Bruiser’. Nearly two decades later the Tatts have covered another Stevie Wright song ‘Hard Road’.
Catch Rose Tattoo currently out on Red Hot Summer, with ZZ Top, George Thorogood & The Destroyers, The Living End, Baby Animals, and Dallas Frasca”
The next dates are:
