AC/DC have been forced to reschedule 10 upcoming dates on the U.S. leg of their “Rock Or Bust” world tour following news that lead singer Brian Johnson has been advised by doctors to stop touring immediately or risk total hearing loss.
The affected shows run from a March 8 stop at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, GA to an April 4 gig at Madison Square Garden in New York, NY.
The band released a statement saying the shows will be made up later in the year, likely with a guest vocalist.
More information regarding these rescheduled shows to come.
Current ticket holders can hold on to their tickets for the rescheduled dates or receive a refund at point of purchase.
Johnson joined AC/DC in 1980 following the death of longtime singer Bon Scott.
His first record with the group, 1980’s “Back In Black”, is the biggest selling rock album of all time – with sales of more than 50 million copies worldwide – placing it second on the all-time sales list behind only Michael Jackson’s 1982 smash, “Thriller.”
Johnson has recorded a total of 11 studio albums with the band – from “Back In Black” to 2014’s “Rock Or Bust.”
