Title: Is this the end for AC/DC
Post by: Mick on April 15, 2014, 07:09:46 PM
Just seen the sad news going around the internet, that one of the members of AC/DC has had a stroke, and as they agreed they would not replace any band members, this could spell the end of the bands 41 year career.

Here's a couple of links,

What ever happens to them, I wish Malcolm Young a full and speedy recovery.  That band has given me so much enjoyment over the years.

That's terrible sad news (especially the Malcolm component). First live band I saw was AC/DC. I'll never forget that experience. It took me two days to get my hearing back. They were awesome.

Seems the rumours about the band splitting might not be true after all.  Just found this posted a few hours ago,
