Sad news from the AC/DC camp…

AC/DC’s Brian Johnson Ordered To Stop Touring

AC/DC frontman, Brian Johnson, has been ordered to give up touring by his doctors.

The iconic singer has been told that he could face losing his hearing if he doesn’t stop touring with immediate effect. While this is sad news for the vocalist, the band have cancelled their 10 dates in the U.S. and have vowed to return later in the year with a guest vocalist to finish off their Rock Or Bust Tour.

AC/DC are scheduled to play the UK this June with two huge shows at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London on June 4 and the Etihad Stadium in Manchester on June 9. Whether or not Brian will be able to proceed remains to be seen, but will bring you that news as soon as it develops. We’d like to wish Brian Johnson and the band our best wishes.
