My thoughts are with Doc Neeson, who’s currently in hospital receiving treatment for a brain tumour. The Angels frontman faces six to seven months of radiation and chemotherapy to treat to the condition.
Of course this puts a stop to Doc’s touring plans. While the Brewster Brothers are touring as The Angels with Dave Gleeson as a stand-in singer, Doc has his own version of The Angels with longtime drummer Buzz Bidstrup. They intended to start a national tour in February, but that’s on hold until Doc’s fighting fit.
“The Angels would like to thank all the fans for their continued support and we wish Doc all the best for his treatment during this difficult time,” The Angels said in a statement today. “The Angels look forward to seeing everyone again once Doc is given the all clear to return to the stage.”
I wish him a speedy recovery!
