well thats good news. I had mentioned seeing them on tour and how his singing was so messed up bad then he announced he was leaving ac/dc due to his hearling loss.Well seems he's making a recovery. People spotted and photographed him and the drummer Phil Rudd together at recent recordings of ac/dc.Thats terrific news,when all u hear is musicians dying,cancelling or bad news on tv. Just watched him doing a performance on youube with Robt Plant & Paul Rogers since he left the band and his voice sounds great. Really happy to see that. Considering his grueling daily tour schedule in recent years & multiple operations,gotta hand it to him,he's definitely one tough 71 year old guy.
and as a side note he lives in Sarasota fl too

I believe bassist Cliff Williams does as well.
I'm floored that Rudd is back in the mix and surprised Johnson . I figured the lineup that toured last would do an album (with a studio bassist) and it would be called AC/DC + Axl or something like that. The probability of something creative coming out of that partnership was probably better, IMO.
Angus has show he likes to bring back former members. Rudd returned previously after a 20 year absence. When they needed a drummer for the last tour, Chris Slade was brought back. I guess this is consistent with what he's done in the past.
Would Angus bring back Mark Evans after 40+ years gone to play bass again? He still tours/plays.
especially considering Rudd was investigated for murder or something! (talk about the bad boys of rock) Wonder if it means they'll all get back on the road again. It sounds like Malcolm was the defacto head of the band when you read what Johnson had to say about him and he's gone now.
I kinda hope they'd all get back together. I'm sure Axl was a handful to deal with and very different than what they were all used to-Johnson seems like a real gentleman-tough & hard drinking but a gentleman on the road.He was probably really tortured to cancel the rest of that tour when he lost his hearing. He sure seemed happy in that video singing opposite Robt Plant recently & sounded good again.
It'll be interesting to see what transpires.
btw,a World record broke in Aussie today with ac/dc-most guitarists playing 1 song=450 Hwy2Hell. gotta love those Aussies
