Then final yr, AC/DC performed a one-off gig in California, with Cliff making a dwell look.

However, each he and Rudd have now been changed within the upcoming tour with the bassist seemingly remaining in retirement.

Meanwhile, Rudd has been open about desirous to spend extra time together with his associate Toni Wilson, who has terminal breast most cancers and was given six months to dwell in May.

Speaking with Stuff in November, the drummer introduced he was promoting off his private AC/DC memorabilia to help the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation and lift consciousness of the illness.

At the time he mentioned: “I’d give it all up, throw it on a bonfire, if it meant it would give Toni more time. She’s the love of my life. My best friend. All the money in the world can buy you things, but it can’t buy you time.”

Despite the continuing difficulties, the drummer hopes to play with AC/DC once more at some point: “I look forward to playing with them again in the future … rock on.”
