NEW YORK — Malcolm Young is out of AC/DC.
A statement Wednesday from the band’s label said: “Unfortunately, due to the nature of Malcolm’s condition, he will not be returning to the band.”
The band said in April that the guitarist, 61, was taking a break to focus on his health.
AC/DC will release the album “Rock or Bust” on Dec. 2.
Stevie Young, nephew of founding members Malcolm and Angus Young, played guitar on the new album and will join Brian Johnson, Phil Rudd and Cliff Williams on tour.
