Décès de Malcolm Young, membre fondateur d'AC/DC
Le groupe de hard-rock australien AC/DC vient d'annoncer sur sa page Facebook le décès de Malcolm Young, guitariste rythmique du mythique quintet de 1973 à 2014. Cette nouvelle arrive quelques semaines après le décès de leur grand frère George Young, guitariste des Easybeats et mentor d'AC/DC. Malcolm ne faisait plus partie du groupe depuis 2014 car il souffrait de démence due à un accident cérébral. Ci joint le communiqué du groupe rédigé par Angus Young :
Today it is with deep heartfelt sadness that AC/DC has to announce the passing of Malcolm Young.
Malcolm, along with Angus, was the founder and creator of AC/DC.
With enormous dedication and commitment he was the driving force behind the band.
As a guitarist, songwriter and visionary he was a perfectionist and a unique man.
He always stuck to his guns and did and said exactly what he wanted.
He took great pride in all that he endeavored.
His loyalty to the fans was unsurpassed.
.
As his brother it is hard to express in words what he has meant to me during my life, the bond we had was unique and very special.
He leaves behind an enormous legacy that will live on forever.
Malcolm, job well done.
R.I.P Malcolm Young (1953-2017)
