In today’s WTF news, Axl Rose (yes, that Axl Rose) is reportedly ready to take the reins as AC/DC’s new lead singer.
While Axl and Guns ‘N’ Roses are ready to reunite in April for six shows, an entire tour is still undetermined because Axl is a tad too busy auditioning to be part of another legendary band: AC/DC.
Jason Bailey, an Atlanta-based DJ, said on his radio show that a “very, very good source” told him that it’s “all but a done deal” that Axl will take over for Brian Johnson after doctors told Johnson that continuing to perform live will result in “total hearing loss.”
“Brian, for health reasons, can’t continue fronting the band,” Bailey explains. “He was supposed to retire after the last tour, so they wanted to continue going out on the road and continue making music, so if you can’t do it, we appreciate your services, but the show must go on. They’re in town, they were auditioning people for the job, and then they flew Axl in, again, this is from my source.”
Quit being such a band whore, Axl.
