AC/DC Author Explains Malcolm Young Speculation

AC/DC biographer Jesse Fink made headlines last week when he said in an interview that he does not expect Malcolm Young to return to the group and Loudwire reached out to him to find out why he came to that conclusion.

Fink first criticized some publications for their coverage of his comments and then added, "The only person who really knows what's going on with Malcolm's medical situation is Malcolm himself, Malcolm's family and Malcolm's doctors. That needs to be understood."

He went on to explain why he thinks that Malcolm will not be returning to the band. "I've been in this AC/DC universe for the past 24 months and you meet a lot of people who tell you a lot of things.

"On the basis of things that you hear, that [Malcolm], who by Brian Johnson's own admission is dealing with a debilitating illness, is going to be able to get up onstage and do a 40-city, 40-show world tour and get up onstage and play 20 songs a night and do it as well as he did last time when he's supposedly dealing with this debilitating illness.

"In that context, do you think it's unreasonable to say I'm not expecting his return or I think it's doubtful that he'll return? Malcolm is the leader of the band. He's the one who wields the power, it's not Angus. So if Malcolm was really ready to come back, do you think that he would have allowed Stevie Young to go and record that album?"
