AC/DC Frontman Hoped For A Miracle For Malcolm

11/26/2014
. (Classic Rock) AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson has recalled the pain of realizing that Malcolm Young wasn't going to recover from dementia. The Aussie giants' mainman was forced to retire before work began on 17th album Rock Or Bust. Brother Angus recently reported that, although Malcolm is credited as a co-writer, he hasn't heard the record.

Speaking at a promotional event for the Alzheimer's Association's Highway To Help initiative, Johnson tells NC9: "Malcolm was the man who started the band. He was our spiritual leader. He was our Spitfire.

"I guess we're like everyone else with loved ones who have this condition. It was that desire to fix something that's unfixable. You just expect that they're going to get better. You think there's going to be a pill that's going to fix them. You think there's going to be a miracle - and of course, one day you wake up and realise there isn't, and it hurts." Read more here.
