The news may come to a surprise since it was rumored that AC/DC was recording a new album with Axl Rose on vocals. Rose took over for Johnson in April 2016 after he was forced to leave due to hearing issues. Rudd, the band's longtime drummer, was replaced by Chris Slade in 2015 due to Rudd's legal issues.
Angus Young seemed insistent that the band would continue on even if it meant hiring a set of totally new replacement musicians. Now all we need is confirmation from the band LOL.
We had this yesterday...
