As the lead singer for arguably one of the most iconic bands in rock n’ roll history, AC/DC, Brian Johnson was irreplaceable. But when he abruptly left the band due to hearing problems, fans around the world cried out for his return. The question on everyone’s mind is: is Brian Johnson going to sing with AC/DC again?
Johnson has made it no secret that his ears are failing him, as he battles a condition called acoufene, for which there is no cure. Recent reports indicate that Johnson has been working with an audiologist and a hearing specialist to attempt to find a solution to the issue. “I’ve been working with this audiologists for five years so, but it doesn’t seem to be doing the trick,” Johnson revealed in a recent interview. “My hearing has gotten a bit worse. I’m still managing it.”
After months of speculation, the band has yet to announce whether or not Johnson will perform with them again. Sources close to the singer say that Johnson himself is undecided as to what his next move should be. In the meantime, fans continue to speculate as to what will become of AC/DC’s legendary frontman.
It has been widely reported that in the event that Johnson does not return, the band is prepared to move forward with another singer. Still, fans and critics alike remain hopeful that Johnson will make a miraculous return to the stage.
The impact of Johnson’s absence from the band has been felt far and wide. His powerful and unique vocals were integral to the AC/DC sound, and his contribution to the band’s longevity and staying power can not be denied.
However, only Johnson himself knows what the future holds for him and the band.
The Rise of AC/DC
Formed in Sydney, Australia in 1973, AC/DC was founded by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young. After hiring singer Dave Evans, the band saw moderate success in their native country. The band’s fortunes changed when Johnson stepped up to the microphone in 1980. With his powerful and unique voice, Johnson became the face of the band and helped propel them to international stardom.
AC/DC’s albums “Back In Black” and “Highway To Hell” were massive commercial successes, with both being certified diamond in many countries around the world. The band’s popularity has only grown as the years have gone on, and today, their music has achieved a level of cult status. Johnson’s contribution to the band’s success has been immeasurable, and fans haven’t forgotten his legendary vocal performance.
The Health Battle Of Johnson
The shock and disappointment of Johnson’s departure from AC/DC was felt around the world. But despite all of the sorrow and sadness, Johnson had to make the difficult decision to step away from the band in order to take care of his health.
In a statement made shortly after Johnson’s departure, the band expressed their profound sadness and understanding. “ AC/DC will continue to make music and Eric Singer will be filling for Brian Johnson on the Epic tour dates,” the band said.
Since then, Johnson has made no secret of his battle with hearing loss and his condition, even appearing in a health documentary to discuss his plight. “I just kept getting more and more deaf. It was just like having wind blowing into my ear constantly,” Johnson revealed in the documentary.
And while Johnson still remains optimistic that he may someday overcome his hearing issues, the prospect of him returning to the stage still remains uncertain.
The Possibility of a Return
In the months following Johnson’s departure, fans around the world have held out hope that the singer will one day take to the stage with AC/DC once again. And while the prospect of Johnson returning to the fold is slim, it is not impossible.
If Johnson is able to overcome his hearing issues, he could potentially return to the stage. But the decision of whether to perform again or not will ultimately rest with Johnson himself. Until then, all fans can do is continue to hope and pray for the best.
The Impact of Johnson
Whether or not Johnson returns to the band is still up in the air, but one thing is certain; his contributions to AC/DC will live on forever. His powerful voice and unique stage presence helped shape the band and make them the legends they are today.
He may no longer sing with the band, but his timeless performances will continue to inspire and move fans for many years to come.
The Future of AC/DC
With Johnson’s future still uncertain, the band must move forward without their iconic lead singer. But with a catalog of classic songs and an incredibly loyal fan base, AC/DC will continue to remain a long-standing force in the world of rock n’ roll.
In the meantime, fans must accept the fact that the band may never be the same without Johnson. And the band’s future, for better or for worse, remains in the hands of the singer himself.
The Possibilities If Johnson Returns
If Johnson is somehow able to overcome his health issues and step back onto the stage with AC/DC, the band will likely receive a huge boost in popularity. The return of their singer would be met with nothing short of ecstatic applause and the band could potentially go on to become as popular as they were in their prime.
But if Johnson decides not to return, fans can at least find comfort in the fact that his legacy as a vocalist and performer is secure. Whether or not he ever takes to the stage with AC/DC again, his impact on the world of rock and roll will live on.
The Unknown Future
At this point, Johnson’s future with AC/DC is still unknown. The band has yet to publicly address Johnson’s situation, leading fans to speculate as to what the future holds for both Johnson and the band.
Only time will tell what the future holds for Johnson and AC/DC, but one thing is for certain; fans across the world will continue to hold out hope that Johnson will one day make a miraculous return the stage.
