Is Axl Rose Replacing Brian Johnson As Lead Singer Of AC/DC? Guns N' Roses Frontman Spotted Jamming With The Band In Atlanta Again
This just in- Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose has spotted jamming with AC/DC, again! This time, the rock star was captured in a photo with the iconic rock band that was tweeted Monday by TMZ.
When seminal hard rock band AC/DC released a statement on March 7 that their lead singer of 36-years, Brian Johnson, quit the group's current Rock or Bust arena tour after he had "been advised by doctors to stop touring immediately or risk total hearing loss," it didn't take long for the rumor mill to start churning regarding a replacement.
Considering that same press release only said AC/DC would "reschedule upcoming US tour dates," it seemed likely someone would be stepping into the mighty shoes of Jones.
Last week, when an Atlanta radio station reported that Guns N' Roses lead singer Axl Rose was seen jamming with the band at a local rehearsal station, full rock and roll fandemonium took place. With Ross Malcolm Young, song of founding AC/DC guitarist Malcolm Young, appearing to confirm the G 'n R fan dream with a Facebook post that has since been deleted, the blogosphere exploded.
A representative for AC/DC neither confirmed or denied the Axl Rose rumors.
"Nothing official to announce," the rep told the website Loudwire on Monday. "Will update you if that changes."
On Friday, Guns N' Roses released a video announccing plans for shows this summer in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Kansas City, Nashville, New Orleans, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis, Toronto and Washington, D.C.
The group will reportedly include founding members Slash and Duff McKagan.
So, will Axl join the lineups of one of the most revered rock bands of all-time? Can his voice handle an AC/DC-Guns N' Roses double-bill?
It appears fans will need to have, "just a little patience."
