LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-MARCH 8, 2019…IT WAS ON THIS DATE IN 2016 AC/DC POSTPONED THE REMAINDER OF THE “ROCK OR BUST” WORLD TOUR ANNOUNCING THAT LEAD SINGER BRIAN JOHNSON HAD BEEN WARNED BY DOCTORS TO STOP TOURING IMMEDIATELY OR “RISK TOTAL HEARING LOSS.”
HOWEVER, ACCORDING TO VARIOUS STORIES THAT STARTED TO SURFACE, SOMETHING WASN’T RIGHT. COMEDIAN JIM BREUER BROKE A STORY ON HIS PODCAST, AND SAID THAT JOHNSON’S HEARING ISSUES WERE OVERBLOWN AND JOHNSON FELT HE WAS “UNFAIRLY KICKED TO THE CURB BY THE BAND.” ONE DAY AFTER THE BAND MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT JOHNSON WAS OUT OF THE BAND, THEY ANNOUNCED THE TOUR WOULD CONTINUE ON WITH GUEST SINGER AXL ROSE FILLING IN FOR THE REMAINING 10 NORTH AMERICAN SHOWS AND 12 EUROPEAN DATES.
AND THE PLOT THICKENS, BECAUSE ON JANUARY 28TH OF THIS YEAR, BRIAN JOHNSON CONFIRMED HE’S BACK IN THE BAND WORKING ON A NEW AC/DC ALBUM, WITH A TOUR TO FOLLOW. HE MUST HAVE FOUND THE CURE FOR DEAFNESS !!
ONE OF JOHNSON’S LAST SHOWS WITH AC/DC ON THE ‘ROCK OR BUST’ TOUR WAS IN SF AT AT&T PARK. HERE’S THE ENTIRE CONCERT
