The future of AC/DC is up in the air after frontman Brian Johnson was ordered by doctors to "stop touring immediately" due to severe hearing problems.

According to a press release, doctors have advised Johnson that if he does not stop touring, he risks "total hearing loss."

As a result, AC/DC have postponed the remainder of their US tour, including an April 4th performance at Madison Square Garden. A press release notes that these shows will be rescheduled later in the year, "likely with a guest vocalist."

AC/DC were on tour in support of their 2014 album, Rock or Bust. Even before Johnson's ailments, the band's touring lineup was shorthanded. Founding member and guitarist Malcolm Young was forced to retire due worsening dementia. Meanwhile, drummer Phil Rudd was sentenced to eight months home detention after threatening to kill a former employee and being found in possession of drugs.
