Tonight in Jersey: AC-DC’s last hurrah?

Legendary rockers AC-DC is back in the states, as they extend their world tour with a return to North America. It’ll bring them back to the New York Metro area tonight for a show at Giants Stadium in Jersey.
The importance of the show is that, with singer Brian Johnson mulling retirement, it may be their last tour.

Johnson, 61, has led the Aussie rockers to a legendary career atop the music world. Johnson stepped into the frontman role in 1980, after the death of singer Bon Scott. Scott’s death nearly ended the band, but Angus and Malcolm Young decided to move ahead with Johnson.
Good move.
The band says their return to the continent kicked off Tuesday with a show at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. Now they’re in our neighborhood.
But Johnson has recently made noise about retiring from the band. That would surely doom AC-DC, as it would seem an unlikely move to come up with a new singer at this stage of their careers.
Sad as it would be, there really is little else for AC-DC to accomplish. Except, of course, to give fans a few more nights of high voltage rock n roll. They’ll certainly do that tonight at the Meadowlands.
