AC/DC have revealed details of their first album in six years, titled 'Rock Or Bust', also confirming that founding rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young will not be returning to the band.
It was reported back in April that Young would no longer be a part of the legendary group, with him leaving due to ill health. The band released a statement at the time that read: "After forty years of life dedicated to AC/DC, guitarist and founding member Malcolm Young is taking a break from the band due to ill health. Malcolm would like to thank the group's diehard legions of fans worldwide for their never-ending love and support. In light of this news, AC/DC asks that Malcolm and his family's privacy be respected during this time. The band will continue to make music."
And despite rumours since surfacing suggesting that the rest of the band may now be splitting after a whopping 41 years together, this is clearly not true, with the new LP detes finally being unveiled. 'Rock Or Bust' is set to be released on December 1 and will be made up of 11 tracks, all recorded in Vancouver earlier this year, with producer Brendan O'Brien and mixer Mike Fraser.
