In a new interview with Australia's Triple M, AC/DC legends Angus Young and Brian Johnson talk about ousted drummer Phil Rudd and the pressure to fill the drum-stool prior to their 2015 tour.

“It's something we got to resolve,” says Young. "We had a few problems ourselves before he got into this situation because there was a lot of strange behaviour going on, which I guess you could put it down to him not showing up for a lot of what we were doing. When you have to get to a stage when you gotta convince someone to be there it wears thin after a while. It is a bit of a question mark."

Rock Or Bust is the first AC/DC album in the band’s 41 year history without founding member Malcolm Young on the recordings, who is in a home suffering from dementia.

AC/DC will undertake a world tour in support of Rock Or Bust in 2015. Stevie Young, nephew of founding members Angus and Malcolm Young, plays rhythm guitar on Rock Or Bust and will accompany the band on tour. Long-time drummer Phil Rudd was recently ousted from the band and a replacement will be announced soon.
