Malcolm Young. Legend. RIP

He was only 64

It seems plain from what Young says next that it must have been apparent long before it was made official that Malcolm would have to leave AC/DC. "He was not well when we went to do [the 2008 album] Black Ice: his symptoms of dementia were starting then, and he got through it. I had said to him, even before we did the album: 'Are you sure you want to do this? I have to know that you really want to do it.' He was the one who said: 'Yes! We've really got to do it.' He's the one who suggested the producer, who said: 'See if we can get Brendan O'Brien to do it.' It was his drive ..."
"He was a tough cookie," Johnson observes.
I'm genuinely taken aback. Not so much because AC/DC are a famously private group, and not prone to talking about their problems, but because this means Malcolm not only recorded an album, but then went on a two-year world tour to promote it, while suffering the onset of dementia.
"I thought that at times it was not Malcolm with me," Young says. "He would say at the time: 'I have good days and I have bad days.' Later on, when he got diagnosed – he had brain shrinkage, and he got diagnosed in America and they gave him some medication to help him – I said: 'Are you going to be fit for this? Because it's going to be a hefty tour.' And he said: 'We'll do it. We'll do it.' That was how he was. It was hard work for him. He was relearning a lot of those songs that he knew backwards; the ones we were playing that night he'd be relearning. He was his own driver. He himself had that thing, where you've just got to keep going."

AC/DC
· 1 h ·
Today it is with deep heartfelt sadness that AC/DC has to announce the passing of Malcolm Young.
Malcolm, along with Angus, was the founder and creator of AC/DC.
With enormous dedication and commitment he was the driving force behind the band.
As a guitarist, songwriter and visionary he was a perfectionist and a unique man.
He always stuck to his guns and did and said exactly what he wanted.
He took great pride in all that he endeavored.
His loyalty to the fans was unsurpassed.
.
As his brother it is hard to express in words what he has meant to me during my life, the bond we had was unique and very special.
He leaves behind an enormous legacy that will live on forever.
Malcolm, job well done.

Unfortunately, although I have put the idiot on ignore, his nonsense still shows up, when he's quoted. Big drawback on this site.

You're pathetic attention seeker Tony, then chief mourner handwringing when there's a more local death...

Mention his magic sky fairy and he gets all precious.

Terrible to succumb to such an early death due to dementia. Truly one of the worst aspects of our time is to see your loved ones taken by this condition/disease.
