Despite the health problems that have forced AC/DC co-founder Malcolm Young out of the band’s lineup, the band will not break up anytime soon.
In an interview with Australia’s Today Show (via The Daily Mail), drummer Phil Rudd said it will take more than the loss of another band member to put an end to AC/DC, saying “we’ll all have to be dead before it stops.”

And this quote doesn’t just apply to him. Rudd notes that leader Angus Young has a dedication to AC/DC that only mortality could squelch.
“You’ll never stop [lead guitarist Angus Young],” Rudd says. “There’ll be another tour, and I’ll be on it. And when there’s another record, I’ll be on that.”
AC/DC are reportedly readying a new album, though the release date and title are still a mystery.
As for Rudd, he has announced his first ever solo album, Head Job, due on Aug. 29.
