Never liked the band, but for one so young to suffer dementia is so sad.

Cant remember the group although the name is familiar

This though is very near to my heart as my hubby too is having the same problems.

Its very frustrating for him and a worry for us where it will go

I'm older than he is :-( ...................


maybe I fit in with Sharron re the dreadful young men!



I often wish these old groups would actually quit ...........


I find something rather sad in seeing 70 year old rock stars bounding around on stage, all wrinkled and grey.

All of the terrible young who your parents, in their thirties and forties, felt duty- bound to disapprove of, are now becoming great- grandparents and being admitted to care homes.

To me they are still those dreadful young men.

In my younger days I quite liked AC/DC

That is very sad, Sylvia. My OH always liked them although I'm not a fan. I do feel for Malcolm Young :-(

AC/DC co-founder Malcolm Young announced he was retiring immediately on Wednesday

Today it has been disclosed that his wife has put him into full time care .................. he has a complete lost of short term memory due to dementia


He is only 61 years old



I didn't really like AC/DC ................. but he's so young.
