The hard rock band have been through a lot in the last few years.

In 2014, AC/DC co-founder Malcolm Young had to retire due to health problems and died just two months ago.

While in 2015 drummer Phil Rudd pulled out of the Rock or Bust world tour due to legal problems in New Zealand, while Brian Johnson had to step down as singer a year later, as he was in danger of going deaf.

Luckily Guns N’ Roses’ Axl Rose stepped in to complete the tour as AC/DC singer, but as soon as it finished bassist Cliff Williams announced he was retiring.

Angus Young is currently the only original AC/DC member still in the band

With lead guitar Angus Young being the only original member of the band left, fans expected it was all over for AC/DC.

However the band’s biographer, Murray Engleheart claims that Axl will continue to tour with AC/DC and release a new album with them.

In a statement on Facebook, he wrote: “Speculate all you want but I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: AC/DC will continue with Axl on vocals – new album, touring, the whole nine yards.

“What was a massive gamble by Angus turned out to be an equally enormous triumph that has set the scene for the future.”

Fortus said: “We haven’t started recording anything, when I say that, as far as in the studio doing an album.”

“We’ve been recording a lot of stuff, just ideas, assembling ideas, but not going into a studio and actually tracking a new record.

“It’s sort of too good not to happen at this point, that’s how I feel about it.”
