Australian Story - Season 19 Episode 13 A Very Good Rascal
Introduced by international music star Leo Sayer.
This week's program tells the bitter sweet personal story behind the hard-living facade of iconic Australian rock musician, Doc Neeson.
As lead singer of The Angels, Doc Neeson had a string of big hits from the seventies right through to the nineties.
One of their songs remains an unofficial anthem for generations of Australian youth.
But just before Christmas 2012, Neeson was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour.
Australian Story followed Neeson's journey over the last year as he received an Order of Australia and was the beneficiary of a fundraising concert featuring his friends Jimmy Barnes, Peter Garrett and David Haselhoff.
The program also looks at the history and legacy of the legendary Angels band through the eyes of its original manager, John Woodruff and the producer of its most successful records, Mark Opitz.
