When Neighbours used Angry Anderson's song Suddenly for Scott and Charlene's wedding, it made him a star – but behind the fame is a story of childhood sexual abuse and tragedy
They're called flashbulb memories. Those events in history where you can remember exactly what you were doing at the time they happened.
It was the TV wedding of the year, possibly even the decade, which saw Charlene walked up the aisle to be given away by her brother Henry and then married to Scott in front of Ramsay Street residents including Paul , Madge , Harold and Mike . Reminiscent of a Phil Collins hit, it's a true 1980s power ballad, complete with a drum break and key change. The song was so popular, it reached number three in the Official UK Singles Chart. And it was even later parodied in Gavin and Stacey when Nessa and Dave were getting married.Back to the beginning Angry Anderson was born Gary Stephen Anderson on 5 August 1947 in Melbourne.
In 1985 he progressed from music to acting, with a role as Ironbar Bassey in the Mel Gibson movie Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. In 1993 he made a Member of the Order of Australia "in recognition of service to the community, particularly as a youth advocate" and Rose Tattoo reunited to support Guns N' Roses on the Australian leg of their latest tour, although they split again as the tour concluded. Sadly, all other band members have since died from cancer, leaving Angry as the sole survivor.
Family tragedy Incredible tragedy struck when Angry's 26 year old youngest son, Liam Anderson, was beaten and kicked to death in a Sydney park in November 2018.
