AC/DC’s Brian Johnson Nearly Rocked By Canon In Las Vegas

AC/DC’s Brian Johnson Nearly Rocked By Canon In Las Vegas

AC/DC has a long, loud, explosive history of ending their shows with a bang.

For the last 44 years the Aussie hard rock legends have concluded their epic sets with the 21-gun finale of “For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)” featuring several canons that kaboom on command.

On Saturday (8/1) singer Brian Johnson nearly saw stars when the innards of one of the canons nearly struck him shortly after it was set into position above him.

The replica canon dipped down aiming its barrel straight down towards the 78 year-old singer and then out slid a long piece of its explosive mechanism.
