AC/DC’s Angus Young was recently interviewed by Rolling Stone, and was asked about the band’s future, as well as, Cliff Williams recent retirement announcement. You can read some excerpts from that chat below.
On his future plans:
“At this point, I don’t know. We were committed to finishing the tour. Who knows what I’ll feel after? When you sign on and say, “I’m gonna do this and that,” it’s always good to say at the end of it, “I’ve done all I said I would do.”
That was always the idea, especially when we were younger – me, Malcolm, Bon. You had to show up and be on time. You’d be playing in a pub in the afternoon. Then late at night, you’d be playing a club. You got into that habit: ‘If we don’t play, we don’t eat.’”
On Cliff Williams:
“Cliff made it known before we’d even started touring – this would be his last. Besides myself, Cliff has been there the longest, since 1977. Cliff and Brian are in the same age bracket. They like to go out, hit the pubs. They had the bond.”
Aside from Williams, the band previously lost three members in recent times, including Malcolm Young, who is suffering from dementia, Phil Rudd, who has had some issues with the law, and Brian Johnson, who stepped down to protect his hearing. AC/DC’s altered lineup, which features Axl Rose (Guns N’ Roses) on vocals, will be finishing their touring cycle later this year.
