Rose Tattoo cancel all upcoming shows

Due to a “medical issue” hurting its legendary leader Gary “Angry” Anderson, Australian hard rock veterans Rose Tattoo have cancelled all remaining dates of their summer 2026 European tour, as per Blabbermouth. Rose Tattoo sent the following statement on social media earlier today.

We are deeply sorry to announce that all remaining shows of Rose Tattoo’s European Tour 2026 have to be cancelled.
Angry Anderson is currently in hospital due to a medical issue.
We are absolutely devastated that we cannot continue this tour and share these remaining shows with you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the love, messages and support you have already sent Angry and the band.
We kindly ask everyone to respect Angry’s and his family’s privacy at this time.
Tickets for the cancelled headline shows can be returned at the respective point of purchase.
Thank you for your understanding, your love and your incredible support.

Numerous musicians have been influenced by Rose Tattoo’s music, and songs like “Bad Boy For Love,” “Rock ‘N’ Roll Outlaw,” “Nice Boys,” and “We Can’t Be Beaten” continue to be mainstays of Australian rock culture. Eight studio albums have been released by Rose Tattoo: “Rose Tattoo” (1978), “Assault & Battery” (1981), “Scarred For Life” (1982), “Southern Stars” (1984), “Beats From A Single Drum” (1986), “Pain” (2002), “Blood Brothers” (2007), and “Outlaws” (2020).

Rose Tattoo has hardly deviated from its motto of being the greatest barroom blues-based rock band in the world since the band’s debut performance on New Year’s Day in 1976. Anderson’s voice has been a constant throughout the past fifty years, narrating tales of bars, alcohol, fights, and mostly lost love. Fans have been amassed by Rose Tattoo’s constant touring throughout Australia, Europe, and even the United States, even though a bit less frequently.
