AC/DC, arguably the greatest hard rock touring band of all time, got back on the road last week after playing just one live show since 2016.
Angus Young and Brian Johnson, the final remaining touring members of the group since their 1980 monster hit Back in Black, have gone through a lot since ’16 which put a damper in the band’s career.
Angus’ brother, co-writer, and who many considered the quiet leader of the group, Malcom Young died in 2017. In 2014, longtime drummer Phil Rudd was sidelined with legal troubles. Cliff Williams, the band’s bassist since 1977, played at last year’s three day Power Trip festival but the 74-year-old chose to sit this tour out.
Johnson has issues of his own, suffering with a bout of deafness which led to Guns N Roses’ Axl Rose to substitute for him during the last two legs of the 2016 Rock or Bust Tour.
