It has been confirmed that Axl Rose is to replace the current singer of AC/DC. (Curious about how the new joining will sound? Click the link above and hear a sample.)

Why AC/DC can’t just find a permanent replacement for Johnson is unknown. However, it’s most likely a marketing thing. Regardless, it should be interesting to listen to “Highway to Hell” with a huge Guns N’ Roses twist.

Any who, here’s what’s been going on.

Brian Johnson, the last singer of AC/DC has been having hearing problems for some time. Johnson has been advised by Doctors, to “stop touring immediately or risk total hearing loss”.

The band fully understands and respect Johnson’s decision and thanks him for all his years with them since their greatest album “Back in Black”.

AC/DC’s tour with Rose is scheduled to start May 7th in Portugal. Rose will later leave the band on June 12th to reunite with Guns N’ Roses for a summer tour. AC/DC is also rescheduling their tour in America to accommodate Rose’s schedule.
