Former AC/DC Vocalist DAVE EVANS Says Fans Would Welcome His Return In Wake Of BRIAN JOHNSON’s Hearing Issues - “They're Pretty Appreciative Of My Vocals And Performances”
March 9, 2016, 8 years ago
AC/DC have been forced to reschedule 10 dates on the US leg of their Rock Or Bust World Tour. The band’s lead singer, Brian Johnson, has been advised by doctors to stop touring immediately or risk total hearing loss. AC/DC dates through early April will be made up later in the year, likely with a guest vocalist.
Meanwhile, Sydney Morning Herald are reporting that the band’s first singer, Dave Evans, is set to return to the band following Johnson’s withdrawal
It may have been 43 years since Evans briefly sung with Angus Young in the first version of AC/DC, but he says his fans would back him to fill the vacancy left by Brian Johnson.
"When I perform around the world the fans love my music and my performances and I hear what they tell me," the 62-year-old says.
Presumably that he is still the man to take the mic again for the rock giants?
"That's what they all tell me. They're pretty appreciative of my vocals and performances," says Evans, whom rock legend has it refused to go on stage 10 months after joining and was duly replaced with a scruffy chauffeur by the name of Bon Scott.
