The musician, whose real name was Gary Anderson, rose to fame as the frontman of Rose Tattoo, one of Australia's most revered rock bands, from 1976.

His solo song Suddenly became a global hit after it was played during the wedding of Minogue and Donovan's characters Scott and Charlene in Neighbours. The wedding episode was watched by 20 million people in the UK alone in 1988.

Anderson said Minogue had been "adamant" that the track was used for the scene, and he later declared that Suddenly was the best song he had ever written.
