AC/DC's BRIAN JOHNSON: 'I Had No Choice But To Stop Performing On Stage'

Longtime AC/DC singer Brian Johnson has issued a statement explaining his recent battle with hearing loss and clarifying the circumstances behind his inability to complete the legendary Australian group's current world tour.

AC/DC postponed the last ten dates of its recent North American tour after doctors told Johnson he faced "total hearing loss." At the time, the group promised they would make up the shows, "likely with a guest vocalist."

After all the rumors, speculation and sightings, it was confirmed last Saturday that GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose will be the singer in AC/DC for European dates in May and June.

The band released a statement that said in part: "AC/DC band members would like to thank Brian Johnson for his contributions and dedication to the band throughout the years. We wish him all the best with his hearing issues and future ventures.

"As much as we want this tour to end as it started, we understand, respect and support Brian's decision to stop touring and save his hearing. We are dedicated to fulfilling the remainder of our touring commitments to everyone that has supported us over the years, and are fortunate that Axl Ros has kindly offered his support to help us fulfill this commitment."

In his statement, Johnson stopped short of saying that he was out of the group permanently and expressed hope that continued medical treatment will allow his hearing to improve enough for him to return to performing live. He explained: "I cannot imagine going forward without being part of [AC/DC], but for now I have no choice."

Johnson's statement in full:

"As many AC/DC fans know, the remaining shows for the 2016 AC/DC 'Rock Or Bust' world tour, including 10 postponed U.S. shows, are being rescheduled with a guest singer. I want personally to explain the reason because I don't believe the earlier press releases sufficiently set out what I wanted to say to our fans or the way in which I thought it should be presented.

"On March 7th, after a series of examinations by leading physicians in the field of hearing loss, I was advised that if I continue to perform at large venues, I risked total deafness. While I was horrified at the reality of the news that day, I had for a time become aware that my partial hearing loss was beginning to interfere with my performance on stage. I was having difficulty hearing the guitars on stage and because I was not able to hear the other musicians clearly, I feared the quality of my performance could be compromised. In all honesty, this was something I could not in good conscience allow. Our fans deserve my performance to be at the highest level, and if for any reason I can't deliver that level of performance, I will not disappoint our fans or embarrass the other members of AC/DC. I am not a quitter and I like to finish what I start. Nevertheless, the doctors made it clear to me and my bandmates that I had no choice but to stop performing on stage for the remaining shows and possibly beyond. That was the darkest day of my professional life.

"Since that day, I have had several consultations with my doctors and it appears that, for the near future, I will be unable to perform on stage at arena- and stadium-size venues where the sound levels are beyond my current tolerance, without the risk of substantial hearing loss and possibly total deafness. Until that time, I tried as best as I could to continue despite the pain and hearing loss but it all became too much to bear and too much to risk.

"I am personally crushed by this development more than anyone could ever imagine. The emotional experience I feel now is worse than anything I have ever in my life felt before. Being part of AC/DC, making records and performing for the millions of devoted fans this past 36 years has been my life's work. I cannot imagine going forward without being part of that, but for now I have no choice. The one thing for certain is that I will always be with AC/DC at every show in spirit, if not in person. Most importantly, I feel terrible having to disappoint the fans who bought tickets for the canceled shows and who have steadfastly supported me and AC/DC these many years.

"Words cannot express my deep gratitude and heartfelt thanks not just for the recent outpouring to me personally of kind words and good wishes, but also for the years of loyal support of AC/DC. My thanks also go to Angus and Cliff for their support.

"Finally, I wish to assure our fans that I am not retiring. My doctors have told me that I can continue to record in studios and I intend to do that. For the moment, my entire focus is to continue medical treatment to improve my hearing. I am hoping that in time my hearing will improve and allow me to return to live concert performances. While the outcome is uncertain, my attitude is optimistic. Only time will tell.

"Once again, my sincere best wishes and thanks to everyone for their support and understanding.

"Love, Brian"

Sources close to AC/DC told The Sydney Morning Herald say the choice of Rose for the upcoming tour was "financially motivated."

Jesse Fink, the AC/DC biographer who wrote "The Youngs: The Brothers Who Built AC/DC", called the Rose recruitment "the worst decision AC/DC has ever made. Fans are pretty disgusted," Fink said.

"AC/DC is an institution, a way of life for a lot of people," he continued. "And a huge proportion of the AC/DC fan base loves Brian. They feel the band owed him a lot more than to go out the way he has and they want the truth, not an emotionless press release that makes it sound like he was made redundant from a motor plant.

"Would Malcolm [Young, now-retired AC/DC guitarist] have agreed to this? It leaves the question of who is making the decisions for AC/DC. Angus [Young, AC/DC guitarist]? George [Young, the older brother of Angus and Malcolm]? [Accountant] Alvin Handwerker? Sony?

"There seems to be a power vacuum since Mal retired from the band and whoever is making the decisions is, frankly, making pretty poor ones. This is the worst decision AC/DC has ever made."

>>> Фэны заслуживают самого лучшего исполнения на которое я только способен, и если я уже не в состоянии это им предложить - пора отойти в сторону и не позориться.

слова настоящего рок-музыканта :thumbs-up:

Я понимаю,что на вкус и цвет,как говорится,но как можно сказать на AC/Dc "срань еще та" у меня в голове не укладывается просто. А Брайан настоящий мужик и настоящий музыкант! Здоровья ему и долгих лет!

А затычки в уши облом поставить ? В механических цехах многие рабочие беруши в уши затыкают...

Alice Malign

>>> у меня в голове не укладывается просто

Бывает. Но я просто не считаю визг, положенный на три риффа, хорошей музыкой.

>>> А затычки в уши облом поставить ?

А то, что ему надо петь под музыку, тебя не смущает?

Ну, вот, молодчина Брайен и сбросил все вуали.
Только он - не "бывший вокалист".

"А то, что ему надо петь под музыку, тебя не смущает?"

Брюса Дикинсона это не смущает. Это не полное подавление звука извне. Да и это нереально. Голова сама имеет свойство передавать вибрацию, как и тело в целом. Поэтому тотальное "затыкивание" ушей все равно не избавит от слышимости звука. Дело в его громкости.

В целом для таких дел применяется in-ear мониторинг. Но у сабжа по ходу ваще тотальные траблы.

ThrashCrow

"Как уже знают многие из вас, оставшиеся шоу в рамках мирового турне AC/DC 'Rock Or Bust' перенесены на другие даты с другим гостевым вокалистом."

Я что-то не понял...Он их навсегда покинул или временно?

and3223r

Трэш, он не знает. Юридически - пока нет.

19 апр 2016

Alice Malign

Tom Sawyer, ну я примерно это и имел в виду, просто выразился слишком прямолинейно
просто если такое происходит с группой уровня ацдц, то это означает, что других вариантов реально нет

>>> Ниче, дорастешь еще

я допускаю, что дорасту до джаза и классики, но до ацдц, моторхед и миталеки уже никогда

19 апр 2016

Olynth

Alice Malign Без всяких наездов,но интереса ради,если ты еще не дорос до джаза,классики.ацдц,моторхэд и металлики,то до чего уже дорос? Честно любопытно

METAL MAN 77

Красава, всё хорошо и правильно сказал! Здоровья тебе, Брайан!

20 апр 2016

Alice Malign

Olynth, а мне честно любопытно, неужели ты не знаешь другой музыки, кроме перечисленного?

20 апр 2016

Family Ghost

>>>я допускаю, что дорасту до джаза и классики

Ахах, стандартный наборчик псевдоинтеллектуальной элитки.
Но, трабл в том, что не надо расти до Эйси Диси или "миталеки" в прямом смысле. Надо расти до осознания того факта, что такая банда, как АЦ/ДЦ, используя "три риффа" добилась столь многого столь малыми выразительными средствами. И вот тогда-то до тебя и дойдет, что дело все не в подсчете риффов и аккордов, и публичная дрочьба на [вставить любой псевдоинтеллектуальный жанр] тебе чести не делает.
Но, как я сказал, тебе не нужно спешить. Пусть жизнь сама тебя приведет куда надо)

"...я много чего знаю"

Судя по вслепую брошенному "классика", нихрена не знаешь.
