Sidelined AC/DC Singer Brian Johnson Is 'Personally Crushed': Read His Letter
Over the weekend, news hit that Axl Rose would front AC/DC for the remainder of the Rock or Bust Tour. How come? Sadly, singer Brian Johnson has been advised by doctors to stop touring with the legendary Australian rockers—whom he joined in 1980—due to hearing loss.
Now Johnson, age 68, has written an in-depth letter to fans. In it, he describes the experience of his hearing failing him recently, what it did to his live performance and how the doctor's pronouncement was "the darkest day of my professional life."
