Brian Johnson's First Post AC/DC Music Goes Online

(Classic Rock) Former AC/DC singer Brian Johnson can be heard making a guest appearance on the Greg Billings Band's latest album. He recorded Old Friends Don't Come Easy for Boom! Boom! All Night! which also features Cheap Trick's Robin Zander on another track.

Johnson was forced to bow out of AC/DC in March after doctors warned him he faced total hearing loss if he continued. The band hired Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose to complete their Rock Or Bust world tour.

Johnson, who'd been with the Aussie giants for 26 years, said at the time: "My entire focus is to continue medical treatment to improve my hearing. I am hoping that in time my hearing will improve and allow me to return to live concert performances. While the outcome is uncertain, my attitude is optimistic."

Since then he's been working with audio experts Asius on a solution. Their Chief scientist Stephen Ambrose told TeamRock in October that the singer could return to performing live "within six months to a year." Listen to the new song and read more here.
