Veteran rockers AC/DC are reportedly close to calling it a day due to the ill-health of Malcolm Young.

Veteran rockers AC/DC are reportedly close to calling it a day due to the ill-health of Malcolm Young.


While the band has made no official statement, news reports suggest the retirement would mean an end to recording and touring.

The claims were originally made in an email to Perth radio station 6PR by a person identifying himself as 'Thunderstruck'.


'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,' Thunderstruck told 6PR on Tuesday morning.


AC/DC formed in 1973 with the band’s most recent album, 2008’s ‘Black Ice’.
