 Earlier this year, AC/DC were forced to reschedule tour dates after singer Brian Johnson was forced to stop touring on doctor's orders (or risk "total hearing loss"). Following reports that they were spotted at the same studio together, it's now been confirmed that Axl Rose is the new frontman of AC/DC. - TheCrow - An official statement from the band reads: 04/16/2016 ROCK OR BUST WORLD TOUR CONTINUES WITH AXL ROSEAC/DC'S ROCK OR BUST WORLD TOUR RESUMES WITH AXL ROSE ON VOCALS "AC/DC band members would like to thank Brian Johnson for his contributions and dedication to the band throughout the years.

We are dedicated to fulfilling the remainder of our touring commitments to everyone that has supported us over the years, and are fortunate that Axl Rose has kindly offered his support to help us fulfill this commitment."

-TheCrow-  Guns N’ Roses were back on stage, for the first time since announcing the return of founding members Slash and Duff McKagan to the lineup, playing a 17-song set at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, California., friday night (April 1) just after midnight with a one-two punch of "It's So Easy" and "Mr. Brownstone".!!! With singer Axl Rose, guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan on stage were keyboardist Dizzy Reed, guitarist Richard Fortus and drummer Frank Ferrer. Also appearing with them was second keyboardist Melissa Reese, an up-and-coming pop/urban artist who studied classical voice and piano from adolescence.  The setlist for the first stop on the amusingly titled “Not in This Lifetime” tour was largely drawn from the Appetite for Destruction and Use Your Illusion albums. However, they also performed two songs – “Better” and the title track – from 2008’s Chinese Democracy, the only Guns N’ Roses studio effort not to feature Slash or McKagan. The next scheduled Guns N’ Roses show is Friday, April 8 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas..
