Last Friday, the 13th, AC/DC released the album POWER UP , and to celebrate the new release, Angus Young went on the Australian program 60 Minutes . There, the musician also spoke about his late brother Malcolm Young and the dementia he suffered from in his final years.
“I think the hardest part wasn’t even his death, because that was kind of an ending, a relief,” Angus said in the interview. “I think the worst part was the decline [of dementia] – that was the hardest part. Because you saw who he was going away.”
Clearly emotional and with tears in his eyes, Angus recalled visiting his brother at the nursing home where he lived during his final years. “Even near the end, when I was there [with him]… he had a smile on his face. And for me, that always filled me with happiness,” he reminisced.
“And he was still very happy when I played for him . He would try to tap his foot, following the rhythm. But he always knew I was there. So that was good. I stayed with him until the end.”
