Title: AC/DC: "We are not retiring"
Post by: Simon on April 17, 2014, 20:05

Rock band AC/DC have said they will not retire following news that guitarist and founding member Malcolm Young is taking a break "due to ill health".

It had been rumoured the Australian band would split after a career spanning more than 40 years.

However, a statement on AC/DC's website confirmed: "The band will continue to make music."

The band are one of the highest-grossing rock acts of all time, selling more than 200 million albums.

It's amazing how these guys (well, most of them) keep going, though.

Brian Johnson, their singer, is one of the nicest, most down to earth guys you could ever wish to meet.  His hobby is motor racing, and he held the top slot on Top Gear's 'Star in a Reasonably Priced Car' for some time.  AC/DC's Back In Black album is the second biggest selling album ever, next to Michael Jackson's Thriller.
