Following the death of AC/DC guitarist and co-founder Malcolm Young last Saturday, numerous messages and tributes have been shared.
AC/DC vocalist Brian Johnson posted the following message:
"For 32 years, we shared the stage side by side..."
I am very sad to hear about the passing of my friend Malcolm Young. I can't believe he's gone. We had such great times on the road.
I always knew he was a guitar genius; his riffs became legendary, and so did he.
I send all my love and affection to his wife Linda, his children Kara and Ross, and to Angus, who I know must be devastated… We all are.
He left a legacy that few can match. He never liked the fame side of being a celebrity; he was too humble for that. He was the man who created AC/DC because he said, 'There's no Rock N' Roll out there.'
I am proud to have known him and to have been able to call him a friend, and I will miss him very much.
I salute you, Malcolm Young.”
And Malcolm's younger brother, Angus Young, wrote:
"As a brother, it's difficult to express in words what he meant to me throughout my life; the bond we had was unique and very special. He leaves behind an enormous legacy that will live on forever.".
