So let's see: Rudd, Scott, MYoung, BJohnson. So how is what the hell is left 'AC/DC' and who would pay money to see a cover band? The Detroit show has been cancelled and it says 'they'll honour tickets (with a new guest singer) and/or refunds available. Why would I want to see that?

Aw FFS! I'll be at a festival where "Thin Lizzy" perform this summer, debateable whether they're as credible as AC/DC. Frankly, this smacks of contractual fulfillment and nowt much else. They'd be doing us all a favour NOT to stick it out by making an album; IMHO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hired in 1975, only performed with them live but departed only a few weeks later. Retired from music immediately after and later became a recluse living on disability benefit.

Unless you were related to him or he lived in your spare room, no-one's even heard of him (until this week) let alone known he was ill enough to be on a deadpool team. Anyway, it's a serious blow to the 'Paul Matters Lives' campaign. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Six newspapers and not one is able to give us his age, or any details of his life before or after the group. They even have the name and Facebook of the friend who announced it, and yet the story has essentially just been recycled and reworded from a viral news site. Very poor journalistic standards. It wouldn't kill them to make a few phone calls. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
