ZAKK WYLDE Weighs In On AC/DC Frontman BRIAN JOHNSON's Hearing Loss - "He Said It Didn't Have Anything To Do With Music"
March 30, 2016, 8 years ago
In early March, AC/DC were forced to reschedule the ten upcoming dates on the US leg of their Rock Or Bust World Tour. AC/DC’s lead singer, Brian Johnson, has been advised by doctors to stop touring immediately or risk total hearing loss. Shows in Atlanta through Madison Square Garden in New York, NY in early April will be made up later in the year, likely with a guest vocalist. Guns N' Roses is believed to be Johnson's replacement for these dates.
There has been no official statement from AC/DC, but it appears that Guns N’ Roses singer Axl Rose has been rehearsing with the band. TMZ has posted two photos of Axl leaving the same rehearsal studio in Atlanta, Georgia as Angus Young, Cliff Williams and Chris Slade!
Speaking with Artisan News, Black Label Society frontman and guitar legend Zakk Wylde weighed in on the situation:
