First the story, via Brooklynvegan:
AC/DC are rescheduling 10 U.S. dates on their “Rock or Bust” World Tour, as singer Brian Johnson has been advised by doctors to stop touring immediately or risk total hearing loss. The remainder of the tour, which was to wrap up on April 4 at NYC’s Madison Square Garden, will be made up later in the year, likely with a guest vocalist.
All previously purchased tickets will be honored at the show’s makeup date, and refunds are available at point of purchase. All dates to be rescheduled are listed below:

I went to see them last year at Metlife and thought they were fine, Steve Crawford went to see them last week and thought they were terrible, despite being a teenage AC/DC fiend. But I don’t think either of them wanted it to end like this.
In 2016, time is wreaking havoc with rock and roll. All these bands that claimed rock and roll will never die are dying, and the only way to stop time is not to play. Which doesn’t work either. Who on earth can they get to replace Brian…?

And here I thought a hernia was more likely.
