Malcolm Young would have turned 69 on January 6th, if he were alive. The AC/DC left the group in 2014 due to suffering from dementia and passed away on November 18, 2017.
Born in Glasgow, Scotland, he and his brother Angus Young founded AC/DC and were responsible for creating some of rock's greatest anthems. Although Angus was one of the minds behind these songs, Malcolm was responsible for most of AC/DC's riffs and their musical breadth.
