AC/DC biographer doesn't see Malcolm Young returning in the band

AC/DC biographer doesn't see Malcolm Young returning in the band

Bad news for AC/DC fans, who have obviously been hoping for a quick comeback of Malcolm Young - who has been forced to sit out of the band due to serious health issues after more than 40 years.
Jesse Fink, author of the new book "The Youngs: The Brothers Who Built AC/DC", indeed, said he’s "not expecting to see Malcolm return" in AC/DC.

Malcolm's family and the band are keeping very private the details of his illness, but according to various rumours the guitarist suffered a stroke, could be dealing with Alzheimer’s, dementia or possibly cancer. A source also claimed that Malcolm is having trouble recognizing familiar faces.

Fink, in a recent radio interview, explained: "I’m not expecting to see Malcolm return. I think the important thing is we all let Mal be and hope he can recover. But I think we should all expect that Stevie Young (Malcolm’s nephew) is in the band now". Also said to Ultimate Classic Rock: "As far as I’m concerned, his illness is a private matter. However, fans seem to think his illness is just going to quickly go away and he’s going to be there on stage when they announce their tour. If what I have heard from numerous sources is true, then I expect Stevie Young will be touring with the band and not Malcolm. That’s not a seditious viewpoint. It’s realistic".
