AC/DC announce first album without Malcolm Young
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 25 September 2014
AC/DC have announced that they will release a new album, ‘Rock Or Bust’, in December. And it will be their first ever without any input from guitarist Malcolm Young.
As previously reported, the band announced earlier this year that Young was taking a break from the band due to ill health. In his place is his nephew, Stevie Young, who performed on the album and will join the band on tour.
Seemingly confirming that Young’s departure is now permanent, the band said in a statement: “Unfortunately, due to the nature of Malcolm’s condition, he will not be returning to the band. AC/DC will undertake a world tour in support of ‘Rock Or Bust’ in 2015. Stevie Young, nephew of founding members Angus and Malcolm Young, plays rhythm guitar on ‘Rock or Bust’ and will accompany the band on tour”.
‘Produced by Brendan O’Brien, ‘Rock Or Bust’ will be released on 1 Dec.
