AC/DC's Malcolm Young falls ill; rumors of band breaking up abound
Posted by Olog-hai on Tue Apr 15 20:20:20 2014 fiogf49gjkf0d He apparently had a stroke. The band survived the death of Bon Scott in 1980 and Malcolm's inability to tour in 1988. NYDN AC/DC retirement rumors center on founding guitarist Malcolm Young's health The iconic rockers were supposed to tour in honor of the band's 40^th anniversary, but now Australian media is reporting they may be forced to break up. By Ethan Sacks Tuesday, April 15, 2014, 5:33 PM Fans of iconic rockers AC/DC were left thunderstruck amid swirling rumors that the band was set to break up over health issues plaguing guitarist Malcolm Young. The reports first surfaced in the band's native Australia when entertainment pundit Peter Ford said on the radio Monday, "The suggestion is being put to me that tour will never happen and we will never see AC/DC perform again or record again," Speculation continued to mount, with the Sydney Morning Herald reporting hours later that a retirement press conference could take place Tuesday in Australia. The day, however, passed without any official word from the band. Sources told Billboard magazine that the rumored demise of the band simply wasn't true. AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson had told Florida radio station 98.7 the Gater earlier this year that the band was set to hit a Vancouver recording studio in May to record a new album — the group's first since 2008's "Black Ice." The band had originally planned a tour this summer for its 40th anniversary, but that had at least been delayed. "One of our boys was pretty ill, so we didn't like to say anything," Johnson said in his radio interview in February, "and we're very private about things like this, so we didn't wanna say anything. And he's a very proud man."
