One of AC/DC's early hits, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, told the story of a hit man and life seems to be imitating art as AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd has been arrested and charged with attempting to procure the murder of two men, according to Stuff.co.nz.

Rudd's home in New Zealand was raided by police and he was taken into custody by police. He was also reportedly charged with possession of methamphetamine and cannabis.

The 60-year-old drummer made an appearance in the Tauranga District Court and was later released on bail. He is scheduled to be back in court in three weeks.

This news comes as Rudd was noticeably absent from AC/DC's recent video shoot where they shot footage for two promotional clips for two songs from their forthcoming album "Rock or Bust," the group's first album without founding member Malcolm Young who retired from the group due to a battle with dementia. Rudd was also absent from a publicity photo released by that band following the video shoot.
