Rock Shattered: Angus Young Announces Retirement, Silencing AC/DC’s Legendary Riff Master.

AC/DC Legend Angus Young Announces Retirement, Ending an Era of Rock Greatness.

In a bittersweet announcement that marks the end of an iconic chapter in rock history, Angus Young, the legendary lead guitarist and co-founder of AC/DC, has officially announced his retirement from music. After nearly five decades of electrifying performances and countless hits that have defined the genre, Young has decided to step away from the stage, citing health concerns and a desire to enjoy a quieter life after years of non-stop touring and recording.

Known for his signature schoolboy outfit and explosive stage presence, Angus Young became a global rock icon with his unmatched energy and blistering guitar riffs. Alongside his late brother, Malcolm Young, Angus co-founded AC/DC in 1973, and the band quickly rose to fame, becoming one of the most influential and successful rock bands in history. Hits like “Highway to Hell,” “Back in Black,” and “Thunderstruck” solidified their place in rock and roll’s pantheon, with Angus at the forefront, dazzling audiences with his fiery solos and relentless drive.

As one of the most consistent performers in rock history, Angus Young’s dedication to his craft never wavered. Even as the band faced challenges, including the passing of Malcolm Young in 2017, Angus continued to lead AC/DC through successful tours and album releases, including the band’s 2020 album, *Power Up*.
