### **A Legacy That Defined Rock**

Angus Young’s departure marks the end of an era for AC/DC, a band that has been synonymous with hard rock and electrifying performances for nearly five decades.

Formed in Sydney in 1973 by Angus and his late brother Malcolm Young, AC/DC became one of the best-selling bands of all time, with over 200 million records sold worldwide. Their raw, high-voltage sound and rebellious spirit earned them a dedicated global following and a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

With Angus Young stepping away, many fans are left wondering if this marks the final chapter for the legendary group.

Despite the speculation, Angus Young emphasized that his decision was made after long and difficult deliberation. “I’ve poured my heart and soul into this band for over 50 years. It wasn’t an easy choice, but it’s time for me to take a step back and focus on other aspects of my life,” Young stated.
