R.I.P. Malcolm Young starb mit 64 Jahren
Auf der Facebookseite war es vor wenigen Stunden zu lesen – der ehemalige Gitarrist und Mitbegründer von AC/DC, Malcolm Young, ist verstorben.
Young war der ältere Bruder von Frontmann Angus Young. Er erkrankte 2014 an Alzheimer und musste daswegen aus der Band ausscheiden. Seither hat er sich völlig aus der Öffentlichkeit zurückgezogen.
Malcolm Young hat als Gitarrist von AC/DC die musikalische Entwicklung der Band nachhaltig geprägt, hat nicht nur die Band nach vorne gebracht, sondern auch die Entwicklung der Hardrockgitarre nachhaltig geprägt.
Die Band über den Wolken hat einen weiteren Topmann erhalten – r.i.p. Malcolm Young!
Hier gibt es den Originaltext:
„It is with deepest sorrow that we inform you of the death of Malcolm Young, beloved husband, father, grandfather and brother. Malcolm had been suffering from Dementia for several years and passed away peacefully with his family by his bedside.
Renowned for his musical prowess Malcolm was a songwriter, guitarist, performer, producer and visionary who inspired many. From the outset, he knew what he wanted to achieve and, along with his younger brother, took to the world stage giving their all at every show. Nothing less would do for their fans.
Malcolm is survived by his loving wife O’Linda, children Cara and Ross, son-in-law Josh, three grandchildren, sister and brother.
While thanking all for their overwhelming support and heartfelt condolences, the family ask that you respect their privacy during this time of heartbreak and grief.
For those wishing to send messages to the family please visit the Sydney Morning Herald Malcolm Young Memorial website which will be available next week.
The family have asked instead of flowers to send donations to The Salvation Army.“
