AC/DC Reschedule Final U.S. Shows in Wake of Brian Johnson's Medical Emergency

March 8, 2016

(UPDATE 3/8/16) Father Time stops for no man, and it appears that AC/DC are feeling the effects of decades of hard rock and roll. On Tuesday the band announced that singer Brian Johnson has received news that he may face permanent hearing loss if he continues his extensive touring pattern. The band will now reschedule the 10 remaining U.S. shows along the "Rock or Bust" World Tour, which was slated to close its final North American leg at Madison Square Garden on April 4.

AC/DC won't let fans linger for long, however. The band has plans to honor those select shows by rescheduling for later in the year. Johnson is likely to sit out along the brief stretch and be replaced by a new, yet-to-be-named singer. The band's official statement tells fans that previously purchased tickets can be either held onto for the future shows or returned for a full refund at point of purchase.
