It's Official - Drummer Chris Slade To Reunite With AC/DC For 57th Annual Grammy Awards Performance

Legendary drummer Chris Slade has confirmed via Facebook that he will be behind the kit for AC/DC when they perform at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, taking place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles tomorrow (Sunday, February 8th).

Says Slade: "This is an amazing opportunity for me, after all most people don’t ever get to play with their favourite band once, let alone TWICE! I would like to thank everyone for the overwhelming support I have been shown personally, on the Facebook page and other social media, not one comment has gone unread and it has been very humbling, Thanks so much. We apologise for the secrecy, please understand this was for all the right reasons."

Slade performed with the band from 1989 to 1994, including their multi-platinum 1990 album, The Razors Edge, and will be filling in for Phil Rudd. “Music's Biggest Night” will be broadcast live in high-definition TV and 5.1 surround sound on the CBS Television Network from 8 – 11:30 p.m. (ET/PT).

As reported earlier this week by Stuff.co.nz, AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd's next court appearance has been adjourned because of a change in lawyers.

Rudd, 60, was due to appear in the Tauranga District Court next week after last year pleading not guilty to charges of possession of methamphetamine, possession of cannabis and threatening to kill. Rudd will reappear in court in April.

As reported earlier, AC/DC needs 150 fans in the Los Angeles area for a Rock Or Bust music video shoot on February 10th. For a chance to be selected to appear in the video, enter at this location.
