It took Bill Haley jnr years to come around to the idea of following his legendary father into the music business.
But with age and maturity, the American performer has come to the conclusion that he's probably the "most qualified person on earth" to share the music of his
father - and is now bringing his show, Bill Haley Jr & The Comets, to Rotorua as part of the NZ tour
Bill Haley is widely considered as the founding father of rock 'n' roll with hits such as Rock Around The Clock, See Ya Later Alligator and Shake, Rattle & Roll.
"I never intended to pursue that professionally. It was just something to do."
However, he said he "lost that ego" and decided there were enough people who wanted to hear the music that he should start performing.
