    AceShowbiz – AC/DC’s album “Power Up” arrives at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, marking the legendary rock band’s third chart-topping set. The album, which was released via Columbia Records on November 13, earns 117,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Nov. 19, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data.
    Of the number, 111,000 are in the form of album sales. SEA units comprise 5,000 of the sum, which equals to 7.8 million on-demand streams of the album’s songs, while the rest 1,000 are in TEA units. “Power Up” joins the band’s 2008’s “Black Ice” and 1981’s “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)” as their chart-topping albums.

      Cliff Williams Warns Fans Against Expecting Him to Join Full AC/DC World Tour

      by

      The rock band’s retired bassist insists he only agreed to make a return to honor late bandmate Malcolm Scott after hearing Brian Johnson and Phil Rudd would join Angus Young in the studio.

      Oct 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – AC/DC bassist Cliff Williams has warned fans he won’t be with the band for long, because he isn’t healthy enough for a gruelling world tour.
      The rocker retired from the group at the end of AC/DC’s “Rock or Bust” tour, during which singer Brian Johnson quit due to hearing issues and was replaced by Guns N’ Roses star Axl Rose – but both are back for the band’s new album, “Power Up”.
      Johnson appears to be back for good, but Williams tells the “Let There Be Talk” podcast he’ll only be around for a few gigs after recording the album with his bandmates.
      Insisting he only agreed to return to the group to honour late bandmate Malcolm Scott after hearing Johnson and the band’s former drummer Phil Rudd would also be joining founder Angus Young in the studio, Cliff says, “This is for him. And it’s the band that we played together with for 40-plus years… I wanted to come back and do that.”

      “We did some rehearsals earlier this year before this darn COVID thing popped up, and we had great rehearsals. The band was playing really well. So (they asked me), ‘Do you wanna do a few shows? ‘Sure’. A few shows. We were planning on doing that… For my health (I’ll do a few shows). I definitely have some physical issues… it’s tough. I’m very grateful for everything. It’s been fantastic. But I just don’t wanna do that (tour) anymore.”

      Williams recently revealed that a bout with vertigo contributed to his decision to leave the band in 2016.
      The band’s new album, “Power Up”, drops on 13 November.

      AC/DC Frontman Underwent Therapy for More Than Two Years During Hiatus From Band

      by

      Brian Johnson opens up about the treatment and long process of recovery during his struggle with hearing loss when he took a step back from his band in 2016.
      Oct 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – AC/DC star Brian Johnson fought to control his hearing loss with the help of monthly meetings with an ear expert who used the bone structure in his skull as a receiver.
      The “Thunderstruck” singer was forced to step away from the band during the Rock or Bust tour in 2016 after doctors told him he was putting his hearing at risk if he continued.
      AC/DC drafted Axl Rose as a replacement as Johnson headed home and started a long process of restoring his hearing.
      “It was pretty serious,” the rocker tells Rolling Stone. “I couldn’t hear the tone of the guitars at all. It was a horrible kind of deafness.”
      A hearing specialist visited him once a month with a contraption he insisted would help Johnson at least get back in the studio.
      “The first time he came down he brought this thing that looked like a car battery,” Johnson explains. “I went, ‘What in the hell is that?’ He said, ‘We’re going to miniaturize it’. It took two and a half years. He came down once a month.”
      “We’d sit there and it was boring as s**t with all these wires and computer screens and noises. But it was well worth it.”

      Johnson kept his bandmates up to date with his progress and, when AC/DC founder Angus Young decided it was time to regroup for a new album, the singer was raring to go.
      “It was with the boys in full battlefield conditions and it was smashing, brilliant,” Johnson adds. “I felt like I was a kid again.”
      He wasn’t the only band member coming back from a debilitating condition – bassist Cliff Williams’ battle with vertigo prompted him to retire from music after the “Rock or Bust” trek.
      “I had stuff going on while I was on the road, terrible vertigo,” he says. “For me, I just thought that it was my time… (Now I’m) a changed animal. I feel in my gut it’s the right thing.”
      Williams, Johnson, and drummer Phil Rudd quietly returned for recording sessions in early 2019, and were spotted together in Vancouver, Canada.
      The bass player admits Johnson and Rudd’s return convinced him to come out of retirement, “It was like the old band back together,” he says. “It was not like starting over again, but as close to the band that’s been together for 40-plus years as we can possibly make it. I didn’t want to miss that.”
      AC/DC recently confirmed their comeback with the announcement of a new album, reportedly titled “Power Up”.
