Rock News Story Of The Year No. 1: AC/DC
In April, longtime AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson issued his first public statement following news that the group had hired Axl Rose to finish out the band’s 2016 Rock Or Bust tour dates.
Johnson had been advised by doctors to stop performing immediately or risk total hearing loss.
“As many AC/DC fans know,” writes Johnson, “the remaining shows for the 2016 AC/DC Rock or Bust World Tour, including 10 postponed U.S. shows, are being rescheduled with a guest singer.
"I want personally to explain the reason because I don’t believe the earlier press releases sufficiently set out what I wanted to say to our fans or the way in which I thought it should be presented.”
