Recently, AC/DC has shared some sad news. George Young, the older brother of Angus and Malcolm, has died aged 70. George Young was the guitarist for the Easybeats and also produced AC/DC's albums, including High Voltage, T.N.T., Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Let There Be Rock, and Powerage, having played bass with the band early on. No cause of death was revealed.

The band released this statement: "It is with pain in our heart that we have to announce the passing of our beloved brother and mentor George Young. Without his help and guidance there would not have been an AC/DC.

"As a musician, songwriter, producer, advisor and much, much more, you could not ask for a more dedicated and professional man. As a brother, you could not ask for a finer brother. For all he did and gave to us throughout his life, we will always remember him with gratitude and hold him close to our hearts."
