Very sad for Brian but yes his health is more important. I am also sad because I have tickets for the London gig but whatever they decide is ok by me. I have seen them in their glory days and last year at Wembley was a fantastic way to say goodbye. Saying that, if they do decide to carry on the tour with a guest singer I will be there. Just hope whoever it is can deliver. I don't know Jimmy Barnes I'm afraid but there was someone on YouTube who did an epic cover of shoot to thrill. I'll have to have a look for him...

Never mind Jimmy Barnes, I think they ought to give Marc Storace a shout. More of a Bon Scott-esque vocals. I'd love to see (well... hear) him given a shot.

Angry Anderson or Joel O'Keeffe came to mind. can't really understand the guest vocalist thing. I'm assuming some kind of insurance/ liability thing going on but you would think AC/DC would be well covered.

Give Joan Jett a shot at it.
She'd tear up some of those old Bon tracks!

Has Brian Johnson Been ‘Kicked to the Curb’ by AC/DC?Brian Johnson‘s hearing loss may not be as bad as initial reports suggested — but AC/DC might be moving on without him anyway.
Word of Johnson’s reportedly tenuous future with the band comes courtesy of comedian Jim Breuer, a friend of the singer who discussed their latest visit during an episode of his The Metal in Me podcast, which you can stream below. According to Breuer, whose commentary was earlier reported by the Canton Repository, Johnson has essentially been “kicked to the curb” by group leader Angus Young after fronting AC/DC for 36 years.
Describing Johnson as “really depressed,” Breuer said he got the singer’s side of the story during a visit to his home in Florida. Although Breuer repeatedly stressed that he’s only heard Johnson’s version of events, he came away with a picture of an inner dynamic that sounds surprisingly dysfunctional for a band that’s managed to stay together this long.
As Breuer tells it, Johnson sought a second opinion after being warned that he faced total hearing loss if he continued to tour, and was told that the damage wasn’t actually as bad as he’d initially been led to believe. It was apparently too little, too late for Young, however — the next thing Johnson knew, “all his luggage that he ever toured with showed up in his driveway.” Adding insult to injury, Breuer said Johnson told him that “there’s been no calls” from anyone in the band — either to explain their decision or to simply check on his well-being — and said “I feel like I’ve been kicked to the curb.”

I always thought Brian and Angus were close, I really hope Johnnymain's link isn't true.
