6PR breaks AC/DC breakup story

Australian rock greats AC/DC appear set to call it quits after an anonymous message to 6PR revealed a member of the band may be quite ill. 

6PR listener calling themselves “Thunderstruck” emailed the station’s Rumour File with the following message: 

“My information is that Malcolm Young has moved himself and his family back to Australia, he’s very very ill and that AC/DC may well be history,” Thunderstruck told 6PR on Tuesday morning.

In his email sent on Monday and read out on 6PR Thunderstruck said: “I have extremely good contacts in Europe that are very close to AC/DC. I have it on very good authority that one of the band members is quite ill and has returned to Australia with his family.

“AC/DC members have previously made a pact that no band members will be replaced should someone need to leave the band.

“No more is currently being said, however the particularly ill member of AC/DC’s son has stated that AC/DC may well be over.”
