As much as we want this tour to end as it started, we understand, respect and support Brian's decision to stop touring and save his hearing. We are dedicated to fulfilling the remainder of our touring commitments to everyone that has supported us over the years, and are fortunate that Axl Rose has kindly offered his support to help us fulfill this commitment. AC/DC will resume their Rock or Bust World Tour with Axl Rose joining on vocals."
Departure of Cliff Williams
On 8 July 2016, Cliff Williams indicated he was leaving the band in an interview with Gulfshore Life, saying "It's been what I've known for the past 40 years, but after this tour I'm backing off of touring and recording. Losing Malcolm, the thing with Phil and now with Brian, it's a changed animal. I feel in my gut it's the right thing." At the end of the Rock or Bust world tour, he released a video statement confirming his departure. His final show with AC/DC was in Philadelphia on 20 September 2016.
Future of the band
On 21 September 2016, the day after the band's final show with Williams, it was reported that longtime Guns N' Roses vocalist Axl Rose would be joining the band full-time and that AC/DC would be continuing with a lineup revolving around he and Angus Young, with other unnamed musicians also contributing. Young's friend Angry Anderson said in March 2018 that Young was eager to make a new AC/DC album with Rose as the band's lead vocalist. By August 2018, however, speculation began that former members Johnson and Rudd were back and working with the band again, after a fan living near The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, B.C. claimed to have observed them in the outdoor area of the studio from her apartment window.
