The Angels is an Australian rock band that formed in Adelaide, South Australia, in 1974. The band later relocated to Sydney and enjoyed huge local success, clocking up hit singles across four decades, including "No Secrets", "Marseilles", "Take a Long Line", "Mr Damage", "Let The Night Roll On" and "Waiting For The Sun". The Angels were cited by Guns N' Roses and a number of Seattle grunge bands, including Pearl Jam and Nirvana, as having influenced their music. In the international market, to avoid legal problems with the Casablanca Records' act Angel, their records were released under the names Angel City and later The Angels from Angel City. After spending most of the 2000s apart, in April 2008, the original 1970s line-up of The Angels reformed for a series of tours. In January 2013 it was announced that Doc Neeson has been diagnosed with a brain tumour and will undergo immediate treatment. It was also revealed that Chris Bailey had been battling an aggressive cancer. Bailey died on 4 April 2013; it was announced that a benefit concert will be held at Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide on 17 April.
