Received a ton of messages on this today and so far this is the latest information we have on AC/DCs Malcolm Young and the possibility that AC/DC has played for the last time. Lets hope not. According to Australian journalist Darryl Mason, founding guitarist Malcolm Young recently suffered a stroke that left a blood clot on his brain. Mason reports via his blog The Orstrahyun that when AC/DC reunited in April to being rehearsals, Young discovered that he was unable to play like he used to play. Earlier this year, frontman Brian Johnson confirmed in an interview that recording on the band’s new album had been delayed because one of the members had been seriously ill, but stated at the time that he felt that a new album and tour was still in the works. The talk of the band booking studio time in Vancouver to work on a new album at the beginning of May could be legit, as they would have to schedule time in advance of recording. But it’s also possible that things have changed since they initially booked the studio time. Mason reports in his article that nothing has been confirmed as of yet, but he states that friends and family members have been openly discussing what happened to Young and feel that is why the guitarist couldn’t keep working. It has also been stated that the band has a pact to not replace any of their members, so continuing without the guitarist appears to be leading the band toward the retirement path. Mason also reports that the group is expected to make an announcement at an upcoming press conference.
