It doesn't matter if he can't tour as they can always get Axl back for that as he seemed to go down very well once the fans got to see/hear him. I would have been happy for him to sing on a new AC/DC album but obviously Johnson is better. Maybe they could split it between the two.

I don't know what others on here think but i don't want the bands i know and love to finish.
It's not like it was in the 80's and 90's when we were all aghast that bands changed their singers, drummers etc. How could they do this? Things could never be the same.
No, now time has moved on. Many of these classic bands members are in their sixties, some even in their seventies and as we know anyone can get health problems especially at that age.
I truly don't think it's sacrilegious that a band member should quit through ill health and then be replaced by a younger member. Obviously this can't happen with all bands,
Motorhead without Lemmy couldn't happen and you can't get a younger Alice Cooper to replace old Vince, but in most cases it can. For example
Judas Priest are no worse a live band without their two original guitarists and their first replacement Richie Faulkner has long become a respected member of the band in both the performing and writing process.
So, yes, i'm quite happy for
AC/DC to keep performing as long as Angus wants them to, the same with
Status Quo with Francis Rossi. Our bands are soon to be no more come what may, but please carry on performing under your band name for as long as you wish. (f*ck social media backlashes, they're all wankers anyway - don't like the change, then don't buy the records or go to the shows)
