Det var i april i år som gitarristen Malcolm Young valde att ta en paus från bandet på grund av sjukdom. I dagsläget ser pausen ut att bli permanent.
I en intervju med Ultimate Classic Rock misstänker bandets biografiförfattare och spökskrivare Jesse Fink att Malcolm inte kommer att återvända.
“I’m not expecting to see Malcolm return. I think the important thing is we all let Mal be and hope he can recover. But I think we should all expect that Stevie Young [Malcolm’s nephew] is in the band now.”
Jesse Fink fortsätter:
“His illness is a private matter. However, fans seem to think his illness is just going to quickly go away and he’s going to be there on stage when they announce their tour. If what I have heard from numerous sources is true, then I expect Stevie Young will be touring with the band and not Malcolm.”
