    Reading some reports on the net that they are no more, and that one of them is very ill (Angus?).

    Sad day if true.

    Nothing has been confirmed by AC/DC themselves, yet, but based on the rumours, it doesn't look good. Founding member and riffmeister Malcolm Young, had a stroke a few weeks ago. The story goes that the band jammed at the start of April, and Malcolm was unable to play properly like he used to. Even though, they have a studio booked from the 1st of May in Vancouver, the band were due to start sessions for a new album. AC/DC may now not make a new album, and may quit. We'll just have to wait and see. I'm gutted, i've seen them twice, best band ever!

    Let's hope Malcolm makes a strong recovery, but it may take him a long time.

    FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK, WE SALUTE YOU Malcolm Young!

    "After forty years of life dedicated to AC/DC, guitarist and founding member Malcolm Young is taking a break from the band due to ill health. Malcolm would like to thank the group’s diehard legions of fans worldwide for their never-ending love and support.

    In light of this news, AC/DC asks that Malcolm and his family’s privacy be respected during this time. The band will continue to make music."

    -- Statement on the official AC/DC facebook page, posted about an hour ago.
