AC/DC Caught On 'Highway To Hell' In Romania
June 1, 2010, 14 years ago
According to BigPond News, AC/DC may have played their hit 'Highway To Hell' thousands of times, but they never expected they would actually get stuck on one - in remote Romania.
"The band's caravan was stopped at the border with Hungary by employees of the national roads company who asked them to pay E50 ($A72.65) for each vehicle, or a total of E2,500 ($A3,632.66) before they were allowed to leave the country," the company's manager Doina Tiron told AFP on Tuesday.
The overzealous staff argued the drivers had not paid the highway toll, she added.
"But in a letter sent to the company, the group said they had not been given any receipt" for this fine, Tiron stressed.
The company has opened an investigation into the allegations.
AC/DC had played in front of 60,000 fans in Bucharest on May 16.
