NEW AC/DC ALBUM DOESN’T INCLUDE MALCOLM

Posted on October 19, 2020

AC/DC‘s new album POWER UP, is set to be released on November 13th. It is the first album without founding member Malcolm Young. While Malcolm is credited on the songs, his guitar work was NOT included on the recordings.

Angus is quoted as saying, “I know a lot of people have been saying, did Malcolm actually play, is it his instrument on the new album? I chose not to do that because I felt Malcolm himself wouldn’t like me trying to splice his guitar work.”

Malcolm was forced to leave the band in 2013, due to ailing health and passed away 3 years ago.
