Rumors about rock group AC/DC retiring blew up the Internet after the Sydney Morning Herald reported that lead singer Malcolm Young returned to Australia and was unable to continue playing music. The article included quotes from another Australian musician, Mark Gable, who said “It’s not just that he is unwell, it’s that it is quite serious. It will constitute that he definitely won’t be able to perform live. He will probably not be able to record.” The group reportedly made a pact not to continue playing if any member was forced to leave. While neither Young nor the group has confirmed the retirement rumors, many online are mourning future live performances of “You Shook Me All Night Long,” “Highway to Hell,” and “Thunderstruck.”
