中学生の自分をロックの世界に導いてくれたAC/DCの創始者でリズムギター担当だったマルコム・ヤングが亡くなった。元々認知症を患ってバンド活動からは引退していたが、こんなに早く亡くなるとは思わなかった。
一月の間に兄でプロデューサーであるジョージとマルコムの二人が立て続けに亡くなって、リードギター担当の末弟アンガス・ヤングもかなりショックだろう。
ご冥福をお祈りする。
Facebookの追悼コメント
Today it is with deep heartfelt sadness that AC/DC has to announce the passing of Malcolm Young.
Malcolm, along with Angus, was the founder and creator of AC/DC.
With enormous dedication and commitment he was the driving force behind the band.
As a guitarist, songwriter and visionary he was a perfectionist and a unique man.
He always stuck to his guns and did and said exactly what he wanted.
He took great pride in all that he endeavored.
His loyalty to the fans was unsurpassed.
.
As his brother it is hard to express in words what he has meant to me during my life, the bond we had was unique and very special.
He leaves behind an enormous legacy that will live on forever.
Malcolm, job well done.
