AC/DC's Brian Johnson Joins Muse On Stage At Reading Festival: 'He's Back!'

Staff Writer

More AC/DC AC/DC

Muse shocked the thousands in attendance at Reading Festival just hours ago by bringing out AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson on to the stage during their encore. 

As NME reports, Muse's Matt Bellamy introduced the revered singer to the crowd, saying "He's back!" before tearing into a performance of AC/DC's Back In Black, led by Johnson.

The showing marked one of Johnson's first since he was forced to pull out AC/DC's world tour last year due to hearing issues. 

Check out a snippet of the performance below. 

Meanwhile, Muse are confirmed to be heading to Australia this December for two massive arena concerts; click on theGuide for more details.
