Johnson has been AC/DC‘s singer since 1980, when he joined following the death of Bon Scott. His first album with the band, “Back In Black”, is the second best-selling album of all time, behind Michael Jackson‘s “Thriller”.

AC/DC‘s latest leg of U.S. dates kicked off on February 2 in Tacoma, Washington.

The band’s 2015 tour sold 2.31 million tickets for a total of $180 million in gross sales.

AC/DC‘s sixteenth studio album, “Rock Or Bust”, has sold more than 562,000 copies since debuting at No. 3 on the Billboard album chart back in December 2014.

It’s the band’s first album without founding guitarist Malcolm Young, who is suffering from dementia. He has been replaced by nephew Stevie Young.

AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd was arrested in November 2014 at his home in Tauranga on charges of threatening to kill and possession of methamphetamine and cannabis.

Although Rudd played on “Rock Or Bust”, he did not appear in photos or videos for the disc.

One-time AC/DC drummer Chris Slade officially joined the band’s lineup for its performance at the Grammy Awards telecast. Slade is also behind the kit for the group’s current world tour.
