AC/DC Drummer Phil Rudd Charged in Murder Plot

AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd, 60, has been charged with attempting to arrange a murder, BBC News reports. Rudd's house was raided this morning; he is also facing charges of threatening to kill and possession of methamphetamine and cannabis.

According to The Sydney Morning Herald, Rudd asked his intended hitman two kill two people. Rudd was released today on bail. He's scheduled to make a court appearance in three weeks.

Rudd was kicked out of the band in 1983 and rejoined in 1994.

AC/DC have a new album called Rock or Bust out on December 2. Their new single "Play Ball" was shared last month. After the band announced that Malcolm Young would retire, it was revealed that the guitarist had been diagnosed with dementia.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
