AC/DC have announced a postponement of their remaining 2016 tour dates after doctors advised frontman Brian Johnson of a scary issue with his hearing. Ultimate Classic Rock reports doctors have advised Johnson to "stop touring immediately or risk total hearing loss,” which is the most frightening thing a musician can ever hear.
AC/DC released a note that the remaining 10 dates of their tour would be postponed and “will be made up later in the year, likely with a guest vocalist.”
AC/DC is notorious for being one of the loudest rock bands of all time. Tinnitus has clearly caught up with the vocalist. This is as good a reminder as any to wear some earplugs when you go to shows. (Interesting side note: a recent study noted that drinking coffee helps prevent tinnitus.)
This is the latest in a series of scary health situations for AC/DC as founding guitarist Malcolm Young had to step away from the band after suffering from dementia.
