Quote'AC/DC To Retire' Rumours As Guitarist Falls Ill
Speculation surrounds the future of the 40-year-old rock band amid concerns about the health of guitarist Malcolm Young.
12:24pm UK, Wednesday 16 April 2014
Rock band AC/DC are rumoured to be on the brink of retirement, with guitarist Malcolm Young said to be too ill to play live.
According to one of his friends, the 61-year-old is unlikely to record any new material.
Mark Gable, the frontman of fellow Australian band Choirboys, said in an interview with ABC Radio: "Malcolm is sick. From what I understand, and it's even been confirmed in part by his son Ross, it would appear Malcolm is unable to perform any more.
"It's not just that he is unwell, it's that it's quite serious.
"He definitely won't be able to perform live. He will probably not be able to record."
Speculation about Young's health has led to suggestions the band could be about to call it a day.
However, US music publication Billboard reported there is "no truth to the rumour".
The Australian newspaper also claimed the band are booked into a recording studio in Vancouver for six weeks from May 1, citing a music industry source.
AC/DC was formed by brothers Angus Young, now 59, and his brother Malcolm in 1973.
They moved from Scotland to Sydney, Australia, as children with their family.
The band has been a huge draw on the rock circuit for decades, creating anthems such as Highway To Hell and Back In Black, and have performed at sell-out concerts across the globe.
Their most recent release, 2008 chart-topper Black Ice, was only their third album since 1990.
Their songs were used as the soundtrack for the movie Iron Man 2.

Sad. I wonder if Malcolm's liver is finally giving out. He had a pretty bad drinking problem for decades.
I haven't gotten used to the new singer yet, and they're gonna retire?
Rumour debunked, no retirement, the band will keep playing, only without Malcom.

:mad:
Bon Scott was one of the greatest front men ever, I'll concede.
I like most music * but there are about 4 or 5 bands I can't stand.
AC DC is one.
* Except for anything recorded by anyone not born by 1980
I used to love classic "hard rock." I don't hate it now, but I don't really listen to it either.
I make an exception for AC/DC, though. I'll listen to any pre-"Back in Black" song of theirs that comes on. Same with Black Sabbath and Guns N Roses.
On the other side, the main exception is Aerosmith. They were my favorite band (pre-Armageddon, of course), and now I can't stand them, not even their best 70s radio hits. I also can't really listen to Led Zeppelin for more than 10 seconds.

Lol, the "new guy" joined the band in 1980.
Shame :(

So this whole thread is pointless?

Is there a point to a Malcolm-less AC/DC?

He's got a point.
Unless it is Dancing Days. Or No Quarter.

had to laugh at that. New Guy...? :huh:
I admit he made me check if Johnson had retired and I somehow had missed it.
It was tongue-in-cheek. :rolleyes: :D
My comment wasn't.

I thought it was clever, and enjoyed it even more when it obviously sailed right over several people's heads.

This is Assburger Central, take nothing tongue-in-cheek for granted with these people.
Like Assburger is the most serious mental health issue displayed here.
