AC/DC - Confirm Axl Rose As Brian Johnson's Replacement
Yes, the rumours were true, after all. Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose will be fronting AC/DC when the Rock Or Bust tour resumes. Rose was seen exiting the same Atlanta rehearsal studio as the band. Today, the Aussies released an official statement confirming that Axl Rose will join them on vocals on their European tour and then also on the rescheduled U.S. shows.
Official statement: "AC/DC band members would like to thank Brian Johnson for his contributions and dedication to the band throughout the years. We wish him all the best with his hearing issues and future ventures. As much as we want this tour to end as it started, we understand, respect and support Brian's decision to stop touring and save his hearing. We are dedicated to fulfilling the remainder of our touring commitments to everyone that has supported us over the years, and are fortunate that Axl Rose has kindly offered his support to help us fulfill this commitment. AC/DC will resume their Rock Or Bust World Tour with Axl Rose joining on vocals. The European stadium tour dates begin on May 7 in Lisbon, Portugal and run through June 12 in Aarhus, Denmark as previously announced (see below for full itinerary). Following this European run of dates with AC/DC, Axl Rose will head out on his Guns N' Roses, Not In This Lifetime Summer Stadium Tour. The 10 postponed U.S shows will be rescheduled and announced imminently, also with Axl Rose."

Didn't Brian Johnson state a few weeks ago that it wasn't his decision?

In just over a year, the most stable band in history has become more unstable than a nuclear meltdown. Drummer arrested, guitarist sick, singer on the brink to becoming deaf, and said singer gets replaced by one of the most emotionally unstable human beings ever to have existed. Next thing you know, they will start playing technical death metal

Written by Bad English on 18.04.2016 at 13:16 Angus Young joined GnR on stage recently. Combine the bands, maybe? Sewingmachines and Roses?

Since it seems Brian Johnson will have to stop performing live (the way I understand it, he will never be able to perform live again because he could become deaf), I think it is only a replacement to finish the tour and I believe the band will call a quit after that. I can't know, of course, and I won't pretend to know but that's what I believe.
