Axl Rose Officially Joins AC/DC

It’s happened. Mr. Rose will front Australian rock legends AC/DC on their upcoming tour dates.

It has been rumoured for some time, and it was really unofficially confirmed when a cameraman caught Rose leaving a rehearsal studio in Atlanta where AC/DC were. It’s official now however.

Sadly frontman Brian Johnson had to cease touring with the band due to a throat infection, and it now seems like the Guns ‘n’ Roses frontman is to take his place on a permenant basis. Read the press release below:

 “AC/DC band members would like to thank Brian Johnson for his contributions and dedication to the band throughout the years. We wish him all the best with his hearing issues and future ventures.

“As much as we want this tour to end as it started, we understand, respect and support Brian’s decision to stop touring and save his hearing.
“We are dedicated to fulfilling the remainder of our touring commitments to everyone that has supported us over the years, and are fortunate that Axl Rose has kindly offered his support to help us fulfil this commitment.

“AC/DC will resume their Rock Or Bust world tour with Axl Rose joining on vocals. The European stadium tour dates begin on May 7 in Lisbon, Portugal and run through June 12 in Aarhus, Denmark as previously announced.
“Following this European run of dates with AC/DC, Axl Rose will head out on his Guns N’ Roses, Not In This Lifetime summer stadium tour. The 10 postponed U.S shows will be rescheduled and announced imminently, also with Axl Rose.”
Prepare for a surge in ticket prices to see this occasion!
