Ob smrti legendarnega ritem kitarista in ustanovitelja zasedbe AC/DC, Malcolma Younga, ki je umrl 18. novembra v 65. letu starosti, so številni rock glasbeniki zaviti v črnino.
Hkrati pa se mu jih je veliko tudi poklonilo preko objav na družabnih omrežjih.
Poklonili so se mu številni rockerji po vsem svetu
Tudi na uradni spletni strani legendarne avstralske zasedbe AC/DC so potrdili, da nas je Malcolm žal zapustil. Že dlje časa se je boril z demenco, ki ga je tudi prisilila, da je pred leti zapustil skupino AC/DC, katere ustanovitelj je bil prav on. Bolehal pa je tudi za pljučnim rakom.
Malcolmov mlajši brat in član zasedbe AC/DC Angus Young je dejal: ‘Kot njegov brat težko izrazim z besedami, kaj mi je pomenil v življenju. Vez, ki sva jo imela je bila edinstvena in zelo posebna. Zapustil je ogromno zapuščino, ki bo živela večno.’
Seveda pa Angus ni edini, ki ga je smrt ganila. Z različnimi objavami so se mu poklonili tudi številni legendarni in znani glasbeniki iz sveta rocka.
Med drugim so se mu poklonili Tony Iommi, Alex Lifeson, Eddie Van Halen, Mike Portnoy, Paul Stanley, Michael Sweet, David Coverdale, Disturbed, Zakk Wylde, Ginger Wildheart, Scott Ian, Ozzy Osbourne, Lars Ulrich, Joe Elliott, Slash, Tom Morello, Duff McKagan, Dave Mustaine, Derek Sherinian, Nickelback in Joe Satriani.
Objave znanih rockerjev v poklon preminulemu Youngu
"I’m sad to hear of the passing of Malcolm Young. It was great to get the opportunity to open for AC/DC on the Highway To Hell tour & we certainly learned a thing or two. He was an incredible guitar player & the glue for that band onstage & off. RIP Malcolm, say hi to Bon." – Joe

Malcolm is gone, and although his music lives on, there are no words to express this sadness. Bittersweet as it is, I’m happy he’s free from the dementia and in Heaven with Bon and his brother George. I owe so much to Malcolm Young… https://t.co/soxrFpQsmJ pic.twitter.com/YmUI6IH5sG
