AC/DC are ending their 41 year career on a terribly sad note.
About 3 weeks ago, founding member, rhythm guitarist, co-producer and co-songwriter Malcolm Young had a stroke, which left a blood clot on his brain.
When AC/DC reunited at the start of April to begin a month of rehearsals, in the lead-up to new album recording sessions, Malcolm discovered he couldn't play. At least, he couldn't play like he used to play.
Although friends have described Malcolm's condition as serious, it doesn't mean he won't recover. People do get better after strokes, and people do recover lost skills.
But friends and family of band members believe the decision was made last week to call it quits.
Right now, that announcement is expected Tuesday, April 16, and a press conference has been scheduled.
AC/DC won't continue playing and recording without Malcolm.

EV Solo: 7/11/11 11/12/12 11/13/12
In 1980 and 1981, I spent many hours by my parents' stereo listening to my Back in Black and Highway to Hell albums with headphones. 34 years later. Hard to get my head around. I'm getting old too.
I remember religious groups protesting the band- in particular some of the lyrics in Hells Bells ('cause if God's on the left then I'm stickin' to the right).
"After forty years of life dedicated to AC/DC, guitarist and founding member Malcolm Young is taking a break from the band due to ill health. Malcolm would like to thank the group’s diehard legions of fans worldwide for their never-ending love and support.
In light of this news, AC/DC asks that Malcolm and his family’s privacy be respected during this time. The band will continue to make music."
