They are rock’s greatest survivors and, famously, after suffering terrible loss, came Back In Black, an album that cemented their world domination.
But guitar legend Angus Young admits he feared AC/DC might never play again after another series of body-blows.
The rocker – who emigrated from Glasgow to Sydney almost 60 years ago – confesses the Australian supergroup were on the brink but any fears they had reached the end of the road were forgotten when he remembered his older brother Malcolm’s wise counsel: “Keep your head down and keep strumming.”
Now, AC/DC are back, again, and with an almighty bang. Their new album, Power Up – their first in six years – has hit the No 1 spot in the charts of 21 countries around the world, including the UK.
It is a tribute to Young’s big brother Malcolm, who was forced to quit the band in 2014 while suffering from lung cancer and, later, dementia. Sadly, he passed away three years later, aged 64.
