Just read that. Won't ever tour or record together again, per sources. Whoa. What happened? They were putting together that 40 city tour and going to record a new album, too. Sounds like things did not go very well in those first sessions. That kinda sucks.

Rumors are that someone is ill. If true, that's not really a "split"...but a retirement due to unfortunate circumstances. Either way... 
Sana'a
3AW broke the news this morning that Australian band AC/DC are on the verge of announcing their retirement. The reason for the long-running band's demise, according to reports, are the suggestion that 61-year old guitarist Malcolm Young is ill from a smoking related illness, and has returned to Australia with his family.
Yeah, I know that have always had a pact that no one else new will ever be brought in to replace another member. Rumor is that Malcolm is sick. That sucks. I was going to catch them this time when they came around.
I would have doubted a split, but due to illness is a whole other story.
Those guys are a super tight group that still share the same dressing room on tour.
I saw them in the late 90's and it was prob the second loudest show I have ever been to, great performance, and Im truly bummed that I might not get to see them again, I didnt come to appreciate the older Bon stuff until recently, and was looking forward to another chance to see them.
First CD I ever bought was Back In Black
Quoted from Mudflaps:not breaking up
Putting 40 years of rocking their balls out into perspective, that is longer than I have been alive.
Thank you AC/DC!
Is that a glory hole?
Quoted from Mudflaps:If that's a glory hole, he's going to get pink eye.
Or maybe wear an eyepatch.
After hearing big balls as a kid, I always thought there was something to the Fly on a Wall album cover. Totally forgot about that thought until now. Hope Malcome weathers the storm.

Sorry to hear and heard rumor for a while someone was sick. Thought the possibility of someone replacing him on the upcoming 40 date tour later this year. On a side note going to see Motörhead tomorrow. Whoever is sick will want them to continue for one more round I imagine. It's a shame some if these great bands wait so long to tour and these things happen at wrong times in life.

I heard the royalty checks from selling all those AC/DC pinball machines allowed them to retire early.
So it's you - the Pinsiders that caused this. No one to blame but yourself if you bought one.
Did you think they could go on forever? What are they, 65 year old dudes in 100 year old bodies? 
Seriously though, all good things must come to an end. They are/were an awesome band. One of my favorites growing up. They'll be missed for sure, but the music will endure.

Yeah that's two things we agree on. Mark it down. Ha ah.
