Lidt info fra USA Today:
AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson is eyeing retirement, according to an
interview he conducted with USA Today. "At 61, this could be my last
shot," Johnson said, but he added that the run-throughs for the band's
upcoming tour "have been as smooth as a gravy sandwich". He added: "I
try to look after my health. I don't do a six-mile jog. I might do a
half-hour on a bike in the morning. In a separate interview, Johnson
told Absolute Radio: "Both me and Angus [Young, guitarist] have got a
fitness regime. I'm getting a Formula One guy in. A fitness guy, he's
trying to get me whipped into shape and size. [The show is]
two-and-a-bit hours and there's no time for recovery." Meanwhile, a
Glasgow rock DJ has banned songs by AC/DC from his radio show after the
group snubbed Scotland on its world tour. Rock Radio 'Drivetime'
presenter David 'The Captain' Grant said: "I will not be playing another
AC/DC song on my show for a long time to come, or until the band change
their mind on coming to Scotland as part of the tour."

Evolve or die? Darwin never met AC/DC.
Black Ice, the band's 15th studio album and first since 2000's Stiff
Upper Lip, is barely distinguishable from the rip-snorting discs of its
mid-'70s heyday. Guitarist Angus Young puts it simply: "We're always
going to sound like AC/DC."

Hatched in 1973, the Australian outfit never wavered from a template of
muscular riffs, monster beats and shrieked appreciation for sex, booze
and rock 'n' roll. No ballads. No greatest-hits albums. No downloads.
Resisting change has made has-beens of countless rockers, and yet
AC/DC's popularity swells with each new generation. In fact, tweaking
the formula can be risky.
That's why singer Brian Johnso
