BO7H B4RRELS 2,447 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/acdcs-malcolm-young-reportedly-in-care-for-dementia-in-sydney-20140925-10m1hs.html Sad news. I've always like ACDC quite a bit. "It may be that dementia is claiming another giant, this time a musical one. Sources connected to the Young family have said AC/DC co-founder, guitarist and songwriter, Malcolm Young, whose retirement from the band was announced on Wednesday, has been moved into full-time care in a nursing home facility in Sydney's eastern suburbs specialising in dementia. The home is understood to be Lulworth House in Elizabeth Bay, the same facility which is also home to Gough Whitlam and, until his recent death, Neville Wran, who was afflicted with dementia in his last years."

JsinOwl 644 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I've been wondering about him ever since news leaked that there was some kind of issue several months ago. Guess now we know. That's a shame, dude is a quite legend. /acdc was my first ever concert, saw them on the razor's edge tour in '93 I believe.

cyberninja2601 1,103 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 That's too bad. ACDC isn't ACDC without him. I always enjoyed playing their stuff. It isn't particularly difficult but it always sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BO7H B4RRELS 2,447 Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 A few more articles if anyone is interested... http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-29345368 http://www.acdc.com/us/news/new-album-out-december-2 ‘Rock or Bust,’ the highly anticipated new studio album from AC/DC, will be released December 2, 2014. Featuring 11 new tracks and recorded in Spring 2014 at Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, BC, 'Rock or Bust' finds AC/DC once again working with producer Brendan O’Brien and mixer Mike Fraser. “Rock or Bust” is the first AC/DC album in the band’s 41 year history without founding member Malcolm Young on the recordings. Earlier this year AC/DC released a statement explaining that due to illness, Malcolm would be taking a break from the band. Unfortunately, due to the nature of Malcolm’s condition, he will not be returning to the band. AC/DC will undertake a world tour in support of ‘Rock or Bust’ in 2015. Stevie Young, nephew of founding members Angus and Malcolm Young, plays rhythm guitar on 'Rock or Bust' and will accompany the band on tour. Starting September 27, Turner Sports will provide fans a sneak peek of the new track ‘Play Ball’ as part of the 2014 Major League Baseball Postseason campaign. Check back here for more.

wapntake 23 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 It's sad that this happens to anyone, I've always been an AC/DC fan and I hope they carry on for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
