Maybe Brian needs to have a talk with Tom Araya as he is like, nearly deaf. He seems to be doing OK.

Personally, I'd love to see AC/DC with Marc Storace. He'd be my #1 choice to sing for AC/DC since his voice is right in between Brian and Bon - and he's done some really good albums, too. One Vice At A Time is the best AC/DC album AC/DC never recorded!
Then again, I suggested replacing Brian with Marc about 12 years ago when Brian was struggling so badly and his voice was reduced to a raspy whisper at times.

Pretty shitty way to treat your frontman of 36 years...

Even if they get a new singer, Angus would have to write some killer riffs to make a new AC/DC album worthwhile, and with Malcolm gone, I doubt that will happen.

Well, looks like Jim Breur misspoke:

Breuer said (see clip below): "Just so people know, I'm not quoting Brian Johnson. It's me venting. He didn't say a lot of those things. When I first saw him he was just down and sad and just saying, 'I'm just trying to work things out and I hope it all comes to fruition.' The rest is me just trying to lift him up, being funny and goofy. Then I just talked in a conversation with a friend kind of exaggerating some of those points. I had no clue the madness that it would create."

AC/DC recently postponed the last ten shows on its latest North American trek after it was reported that Johnson's doctors advised him to come off the road or face "total hearing loss." But Breuer said there was more to the story.
On his "The Metal In Me" podcast, Breuer said he saw Johnson in Sarasota, Florida on March 11, where the singer told him that his doctor had confirmed some hearing loss during the first, mostly outdoor, leg of AC/DC's world tour. According to Breuer, Johnson said, "[The doctor said], 'Now you're gonna go out and do indoor [shows]? I do not put my name on this. You're a grown man. You make a decision, but I would not mess around with this at all.'"
Johnson then went to guitarist Angus Young and AC/DC management to explain the situation, according to Breuer, who said: "[Brian] said that he called and let [AC/DC and Young] know, 'Hey, this is what the doctor said, but let's try to figure this out. I don't think it's as bad as he said it is.' Literally the next day in the press, it was 'Brian Johnson, tour canceled, he's losing his hearing.'"
Breuer continued: "[Johnson] said he just called and gave that information. He didn't say he wanted to quit. He didn't say he was done. He called with that information, and two days later, he read in the papers and heard on Twitter and everywhere else, 'Brian Johnson going deaf canceling tour.' A day later, and it was, 'Oh, we're gonna have guest singers.'"
Shockingly, Breuer added that Johnson suspects that he has already been replaced in AC/DC. Breuer said: "He feels like he heard from someone that they already hired somebody, it just hasn't been announced yet."
Breuer said that Johnson still felt like a "hired gun" after 36 years, and that Angus Young as the band's youngest member wants to keep going for another decade and at least one more album and tour.
Johnson has been the band's singer since 1980, when he replaced the late Bon Scott. He made his recording debut with the group on the classic "Back In Black".
AC/DC has been on the road since last year in support of its 16th studio album, "Rock Or Bust". The band has said it will make up the postponed dates, possibly with a "guest vocalist."

Breuer is either lying now or then. I bet it's all true and Johnson didn't anticipate Breuer going public with it, so now he's having him walk it back.

Supposedly strong rumors floating around that Axl will finish out the AC/DC tour.

Axl? They couldn't pay me to see/hear that. And I'm a huge GnR fan. He is just not a good fit and his voice often sounds like shit these days.
As much as I don't think he would ever be interested (why leave Krokus?) I think Storace has always been a good suggestion. O hell, go the Ripper Owens route and pull in one of the many awesome singers from the many AC/DC tribute bands. A friend saw on of them recently and said if you closed your eyes you would never know it wasn't Angus/Malcom playing and both Bon and Brian singing (he can do both very well).

Seriously doubt Axl could learn 20 or 25 songs worth of lyrics in time to salvage this disaster in the making.

I thought Axl Rose had another band. Maybe they're not doing anything at the moment.
And does this mean AC/DC will be taking the stage four hours late every night?

If ACDC wants a singer who is a dead ringer for Bon Scott they ought to track down the lead singer for the band 77.[check out their album High Decibels for proof]

Photos Show Axl Rose At Same Studio As AC/DC
Rumors have been swirling that Axl Rose plans to step in as AC/DC’s singer for some gigs, following Brian Johnson’s announcement that he must stop touring or risk total hearing loss. Well now, there are photographs adding a lot of fuel to the fire.
TMZ caught the Guns N’ Roses frontman leaving an Atlanta studio on Friday. They also have a shot of AC/DC members Cliff Williams, Chris Slade and Stevie Young leaving the very same studio. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but if Axl does provide vocals for the band, it will be later this year when the group makes up tour dates they had to postpone due to Brian’s ear issues.
