AC/DC halt tour as Brian Johnson faces “total hearing loss”

AC/DC have halted their current tour.

The BBC reports that doctors had advised Brian Johnson to stop touring immediately or “risk total hearing loss”.

A post on the band’s website says they have been forced to reschedule the 10 upcoming dates on the American leg of their Rock or Bust world tour.

“Tomorrow [March 8]’s show in Atlanta through Madison Square Garden in New York, NY in early April will be made up later in the year, likely with a guest vocalist. More information regarding these rescheduled shows to come. Current ticket holders can hold on to their tickets for the rescheduled dates or receive a refund at point of purchase.”
