AC/DC Drummer CHRIS SLADE On Touring With AXL ROSE - "The Majority Opinion Now Is That The Band Were Right To Finish The Rock Or Bust Tour With Him"

AC/DC drummer Chris Slade recently posted a brief update on Facebook regarding the band's current string of tour dates featuring Guns N' Roses vocalist Axl Rose up front in place of Brian Johnson. He also commented on the future of the band.

Slade: "Angus is definitely NOT thinking of retiring. We all look forward to Axl not requiring the chair anymore. Shouldn't be too long now. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the band in this form. Of course, everyone would like it to be Brian up there but unfortunately, due to his health problems, this is not possible. Axl is doing a wonderful job and the majority opinion now is that the band were right to finish the Rock or Bust tour with him. Fans have the opportunity to go to the shows or not, it is entirely their choice or indeed their loss."
