The son of iconic frontman Doc Neeson has slammed a new book about The Angels written by founding members, John and Rick Brewster. 

Taking to Facebook on Tuesday night, Kieran Neeson said he was "baffled" by the book, released yesterday, which he claims includes incorrect vital information, such as the names of Neeson's own parents.

"Chapter 3 titled 'Bernard Neeson' talks about my father's life in the early years and more importantly about his parents 'Barney' and 'Maureen'… I'm baffled at how they could get that so incredibly wrong?

"My father's mother, my grandmother, her name is certainly not Maureen… It's Kathleen."

Neeson further claims that there is content in the book that his father, who passed away in 2014, would not have agreed with. 

"There are many things in this book that were, are, private to Doc and his family… things which he wouldn't have wanted published in a book for the world to see that's for sure," Neeson wrote.

"Sadly, as we all know, he's no longer here to defend himself or give certain situations and events context and perspective from his side. But this is the world we live in."

The post concludes, "Best front man I've ever seen and more importantly, a fantastic and loving father which I don't feel was portrayed very well at all throughout this book.

"Other personal things sure were, but not that… I guess we'll have to write another book at least to get my grandparents name's right!"

The Brewster brothers will embark on a tour of the country in support of the book this month.
