There’s been an air of speculation surrounding Axl Rose’s future with AC/DC, as recent comments from band insiders and rock industry veterans suggest the possibility of a reunion in 2025. The Guns N’ Roses frontman, who famously stepped in as lead singer for the iconic Aussie rockers during their 2016 tour after Brian Johnson’s hearing issues, may be gearing up to hit the stage with AC/DC again.
During AC/DC’s *Rock or Bust* world tour in 2016, Rose’s vocal prowess was put to the test as he filled in for Johnson, who had been forced to step down. Critics and fans alike were quick to praise Rose for his powerful performance, with many claiming that he had “done a great job” in the face of overwhelming expectations. However, despite his successful tenure, Rose’s commitment to Guns N’ Roses seemed to put any potential long-term future with AC/DC on hold.
But now, nearly a decade after that tour, sources close to the band are hinting that Rose could be gearing up for another collaboration with AC/DC. According to rock industry insiders, the Australian band has been in talks about a possible 2025 tour, with Rose potentially rejoining as lead vocalist.
While AC/DC has not made an official announcement, rumors of a new album and a return to the road have been circulating since late last year. This speculation has intensified as Rose has been spotted in meetings with AC/DC’s founding members, and multiple sources have mentioned the possibility of a reunion tour.
“It’s no secret that the chemistry between Axl and the band was great back in 2016,” said one insider. “There was a genuine respect for each other, and Axl brought something special to the table. He did a great job. AC/DC would be crazy not to consider him again for a full tour.”
Axl Rose, who is still active with Guns N’ Roses, has previously hinted at his admiration for AC/DC and expressed his willingness to collaborate with them again if the opportunity arose. While the frontman’s focus remains on his primary band, the idea of once again stepping into the shoes of a legendary rock icon has fans buzzing with excitement.
The potential tour would mark the first time in years that AC/DC would perform with a guest vocalist in place of the beloved Brian Johnson, who officially rejoined the band in 2021 after overcoming his hearing problems. Whether or not Rose will be involved in any future AC/DC ventures remains to be seen, but it’s clear that both fans and industry insiders are eager to see if the stars will align for another powerful collaboration.
As more details emerge, one thing remains certain: the rock world is never short of surprises. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
