6PR get the scoop on possible end of AC/DC

AC/DC maybe finishing up due to an illness of one of the members.

No official word is out yet but the tip was received yesterday by the 6PR breakfast show – Steve Mills and Basil Zempilas.

This morning on their regular 'Rumour File' segment they read out the email they received from a person identifying himself as 'Thunderstruck'.

It said: "My information is that Malcolm Young has moved himself and his family back to Australia, he's very very ill and that AC/DC may well be history.

"I have extremely good contacts in Europe that are very close to AC/DC. I have it on very good authority that one of the band members is quite ill and has returned to Australia with his family.

"AC/DC members have previously made a pact that no band members will be replaced should someone need to leave the band.

"No more is currently being said, however the particularly ill member of AC/DC's son has stated that AC/DC may well be over."

Entertainment reporter Peter Ford told 6PR that he believed that information to be correct.

"It is a serious situation," said Ford, "It may be that … they don't actually retire as such, they just never perform together again or record again."
