IS THIS THE END OF AC/DC? UPDATES ON MALCOLM YOUNG
Tuesday, April 15, 2014

By Darryl Mason

AC/DC are ending their 41 year career on a terribly sad note.

Plans were underway for a new studio album, their first since 2008's monumental Black Ice, and a '40th Anniversary' world tour, 40 huge shows across the globe.

More than a month ago, founding member, rhythm guitarist, co-producer and co-songwriter Malcolm Young had a stroke, which left a blood clot on his brain.

When AC/DC reunited at the start of April to begin a month of rehearsals, in the lead-up to new album recording sessions, Malcolm discovered he couldn't play. At least, he couldn't play like he used to play.

Nothing has been officially confirmed, as of this writing, but friends and family members have been discussing what happened to Malcolm for the past couple of weeks. The blood clot, resulting from the stroke, is believed to be why Malcolm couldn't keep working.

Although friends have described Malcolm's condition as serious, it doesn't mean he won't recover. People do get better after strokes, and people do recover lost skills.

But friends and family of band members believe the decision was made last week to call it quits.

Media in Australia have gone ballistic today on rumours of The End Of AC/DC, and it appears the news got out ahead of a planned official announcement from the band and management.

Right now, that announcement is expected Wednesday, April 16, and a press conference has been scheduled.

AC/DC won't continue playing and recording without Malcolm. It can't be done.

AC/DC: Younger Young to Step in For Malcolm Young?
Monday, May 5th, 2014 at 11:00AM By Axl Rosenberg

AC/DC are going to attempt to soldier on without founding guitarist and key songwriter Malcolm Young, who reportedly suffered a stroke which has left him unable to continue on with the band. But it looks they’re still keeping it in the family: rumor suggests that Stevie Young — nephew of Malcom and legendary lead guitarist Angus Young — will taking his uncle’s spot in the band.
[...]
So we should obviously take this with a grain of salt until the band releases some kind of statement… but as Pattonen notes, Stevie has filled-in for Malcolm before, so it does make sense that he’d fill-in for Malcolm again.

We’ll let you know as soon as more info is available. In the meantime, here’s some video of Stevie Young performing with AC/DC in ’88:

I never heard about Malcolm having a stroke. How very sad... and even sadder to forget how to play the guitar!
