Australian rock band AC/DC are postponing the rest of their
US tour after singer Brian Johnson was warned he is going deaf.
The band posted a statement on their website saying doctors
had advised Johnson to stop touring immediately or "risk total hearing
loss".
They said they would likely perform with a guest vocalist in
rescheduled shows later this year.
Johnson, 68, has been the lead singer with AC/DC since 1980.
The news is the latest in a series of setbacks for the band.
Former drummer Phil Rudd was convicted last year of drug
possession and making threats to kill. He served eight months of home
detention.
In 2014, it emerged that founding member and guitarist
Malcolm Young would not be joining the band on tours as he was suffering from
dementia.
The band released its latest album Rock or Bust in November
that year and has been touring ever since to promote it.....
