[glow=red,2,300]AC/DC’s Malcolm Young Reportedly Being Treated
for Dementia[/glow]
[quote]When AC/DC announced the release of their new album the
other day, the good news was offset by some bad: Founding
guitarist Malcolm Young was no longer in the band. Seeing that
he wasn’t involved in the recording of the album due to an
undisclosed illness at the time, the news wasn’t all that
surprising.
According to news reports, Young is being treated for dementia
in a Sydney nursing facility. The 61-year-old guitarist was
moved into the full-time care facility after suffering a stroke
last year.
A family friend told the Sydney Morning Herald, ”If you were in
the room with [Malcolm Young] and walked out, then came back in
one minute later, he wouldn’t remember who you are. He has a
complete loss of short-term memory. His wife, Linda, has put him
in full-time care.”
According to the Alzheimer’s Association, “Dementia is a general
term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere
with daily life. Memory loss is an example. Alzheimer’s is the
most common type of dementia.” Earlier this year, country music
legend Glen Campbell was forced to retire from touring, and was
placed by his family into an Alzheimer’s care facility, as a
result of his battle with the disease.
AC/DC announced their new album, ‘Rock or Bust,’ on Wednesday,
the same day they released a statement about Young’s retirement
from the band after 41 years. This will be the band’s first
album without Young, and its first since ‘Black Ice’ debuted at
No. 1 in 2008.
While the album isn’t due until Dec. 2, a minute-long sample of
one of its songs, ‘Play Ball,’ has shown up in the trailer for
MLB’s postseason play. The band plans to continue without Young.
They’ll launch a tour in support of the new record next year
with Malcolm’s nephew Stevie taking his place on record and
onstage.[/quote]

That sucks. It's really sad that it has come to that.

[center]Charge dropped against AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd
HTML http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/06/world/asia/acdc-phil-rudd-charge-dropped/
Just heard about Phil being arrested on a Murder for Hire plot.
It's the story that everyone is running with on the air right
now. What I find ironic is that no one is reporting that those
charges were dropped. Producers want to grab as many viewers as
possible in spite of additional facts being out there that could
derail their Nielsen numbers.

[center]AC/DC’s Angus Young on Phil Rudd: ‘That Guy Needs to
Sort Himself Out’
HTML http://loudwire.com/acdc-angus-young-phil-rudd-needs-to-sort-himself-out/
Based on the tone of what Angus and Cliff said, I think it's
safe to say that Phil's days with the band are numbered. It
wouldn't be the first time he was kicked out of AC/DC.

Nice rundown of each set of line ups that has been put together

[center]Chris Slade Rumored to Rejoin AC/DC for Grammys
Performance

I am totally on board with Chris Slade coming back into the
fold. Didn't even think he would be mentioned as a viable
candidate given how he exited the band the last time.
