AC/DC bassist Cliff Williams initially announced his retirement from the band in 2016, citing a desire to remain off the road. With the band back together for the forthcoming Power Up album, Williams has commented on the band’s future and that he is committed to playing “a few shows.”
The band’s last run was the now infamous Rock or Bust tour. The trek sidelined singer Brian Johnson with hearing issues (Axl Rose was later tapped as the interim singer to wrap up the run) and saw drummer Chris Slade step in for the Phil Rudd who had been embroiled in a litany of legal woes on top of Williams’ impending retirement once the tour had concluded.
