Biographer: Don’t Expect Malcolm Young’s Return to AC/DC

Guitarist Malcolm Young is unlikely to return to AC/DC, according to the group's biographer.  Speaking to a Boston radio station, writer Jesse Fink warned fans to expect that 57-year-old Stevie is now a permanent part of the band.

"I’m not expecting to see Malcolm return. I think the important thing is that we let Mal be and hope he can recover. But I think we should all expect that Stevie Young is in the band now."

Frontman Brian Johnson confirmed that Malcolm is in hospital last month in an interview with Classic Rock Magazine.  He said the band is considering calling the album Man Down. 

‘It’s a bit negative and it was probably just straight from the heart. I like that,’ Johnson explained.

Fink has just released a new AC/DC biography, entitled The Youngs: The Brother Who Built AC/DC.
