The rock band AC/DC — new vocalist

The lead singer of Australian rock band AC/DC Brian Johnson was forced to stop international tour due to health problems. A new frontman was a soloist with American Guns’n’roses Axl rose, reports the website of AC/DC.

68-year-old Johnson decided to stop concert activity at the urging of doctors, who have warned the musician about possible hearing loss.

«The band AC/DC is grateful to Brian Johnson for his contribution and commitment to the group over many years. We understand, respect and support the decision of Brian to interrupt the tour», — stated in the message.

The release also notes that all of the obligations of AC/DC in the international tour Rock Or Bust World Tour will be performed due to the fact that rose «has kindly offered assistance».

54-year-old rose plays the guitar and keyboards. He was recognized as one of the greatest vocalists in various publications, including Rolling Stone and New Musical Express (NME).

In March 2016 NME called rose’s main contender for the place of Johnson. A fan site Guns’n Roses GNRTruth reported that rose flew to Atlanta on some secret rehearsal, not associated with the project reunion of the veterans of the group. In Atlanta AC/DC hold auditions for vocalists.
