The first three have previously departed.<\/span><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Are you ready? #PWRUP,&#8221; <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the band posted alongside a photo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Johnson had been the band\u2019s frontman since 1980, following the death of original singer Bon Scott, but had quit in 2016 due to hearing loss; Williams retired in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s Rudd\u2019s third run in the Australian band, first playing from 1975 to 1983, then rejoining in 1994. In 2015 he was sentenced to eight months\u2019 house arrest after being charged with drug possession and threatening to kill his personal assistant. He was replaced by former AC\/DC drummer Chris Slade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The three returning musicians are joined by uncle-and-nephew guitarists Angus Young and Stevie Young, who had remained in the lineup. Stevie replaced Angus\u2019s brother Malcolm in 2014, after Malcolm was diagnosed with dementia. Malcolm Young died in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No new album or tour has been announced with the returning lineup, but the Instagram post\u2019s Pwr Up caption suggests an album of the same name. The band\u2019s last album was Rock or Bust in 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, AC\/DC\u2018s next album is said to have been recorded, but the coronavirus pandemic has forced them to delay its release. In July, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/twisted-sister-tickets\">Twisted Sister<\/a>\u2019s Dee Snider, a close friend of the band, claimed that, adding:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThis is gonna be a miracle of technology. What will be achieved, the reuniting of the band that we know for one more album, is gonna be uplifting and heartbreaking at the same time. Because nothing goes on forever. But this is the ultimate \u2018one more time.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It comes after Snider also shared in February that during a dinner he had with Brian Johnson the frontman told him <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201ca lot of stuff, and a lot of stuff that I don\u2019t wanna say\u201d.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cBut we know from the photos, and Brian confirmed it, they\u2019ve been in the studio, they\u2019ve been recording,\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">he added.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AC\/DC have announced a reunion, featuring members who had left the classic rock band in recent years.
