Surely Purdie will do the album at least....after all he did all the beatles albums........ ( cue sound of me scuttling away............)
I was really sad to hear this. The band released a statement stating that this was not going to affect the upcoming album release and tour.
...into Meth too?? Why start that at 60?
I dont think Slade would come in..cause he vacated the throne when Phil decided to rejoin after Razors Edge.......i prefer they should go back to the roots.. Tony Currenti...here you go....

<ggggg>.........<ggggg>....Purdie would just claim he played on all the AC/DC tracks rather than stoop to touring...
If everyone procured murders for serious arseholes humans would go extinct
And who amongst us hasn't tried to procure a murder or two in their day? Be honest.
Or at least thin the herd.
As for Rudd, Young added that the drummer had been showing some erratic behavior lately, like showing up 10 days late for the new album’s recording sessions.
“One minute he was coming, then he wasn’t, then he was,” Young said. “We’re not a band that likes to wait around.” He eventually played on the album, but Young noted that he’s ”seen him in better shape. It was not the Phil we had known, after we had finished the last tour. He’d let himself go.”
The band plans to continue on without Rudd for now. Young told Billboard that they will “go forward” without their longtime drummer. It seems like they were even prepared for this move. “Our problems had begun even before the situation he’s in now,” Young said. “And our thing was we were going forward.”
While the musicians were in the studio "it was tough to get (Rudd) there in the first place," says Williams.
"It put us in a difficult situation," says Young. And he says this continued through subsequent video and photo shoots. "It put us in a spot where we couldn't move forward. Does the guy show up? Is he reliable to do his job in good shape? We've always been a solid, reliable unit."
AC/DC has indeed resolved to move forward; it's planning to tour next year. Whether Rudd will join his bandmates remains in question.
"Phil created his own situation," says Young. "It's a hard thing to say about the guy. He's a great drummer, and he's done a lot of stuff for us. But he seems to have let himself go. He's not the Phil we've known from the past."
The minute someone falters and they can't do the job like before anymore, it doesn't matter how reliable you were in the past, how much you did for the band, you're not cutting it lately so out you go.
One one hand, as a business, I can understand that. On the other hand it doesn't seem like his mates want to help him, they seem like they are leaving it all up to Phil. I sort of understand, no one is their brothers keeper, but still it seems something is missing. Loyalty maybe. When you laugh the world laughs with you but when you have problems and aren't performing up to par, tough crap. NEXT!
