The Angels' reunion came as a surprise to fans. The relationship between Neeson and the band hit rock bottom when Doc tried to sue them for using the name after he had left. Neeson had been in a serious car accident and suffered neck and spinal injuries. He could not longer be in the band.
The band decided to continue on in 2001 with Chris Bailey and Jim Hilbun taking on lead vocals.
When Neeson was well enough to perform again, he formed Red Phoenix, but the new band failed to capture the public's interest.
Red Phoenix then started to perform as Doc Neeson's Angels and with Westfield money behind him, sued his former band members. They then started to tour as The Angels Band.
The reunion tour will begin on June 27 at the Golden Stave luncheon at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney and continue throughout July and August.
