AC/DC have now officially confirmed the release of 17th studio album Rock Or Bust on December 1, 2014. This will be the band’s first album without Malcolm Young, rhythm guitarist who’s facing certain health issues.

Malcolm Young has been replaced by his nephew Steview, who also would be taking part in the bands world tour.

Columbia records say in a statement: “Rock Or Bust follows the immensely successful Black Ice album, which debuted at number 1 in 31 countries upon release in 2008, and has gone on to sell nearly 8 million copies worldwide.

“Rock or Bust finds AC/DC once again working with producer Brendan O’Brien and mixer Mike Fraser. It’s the first album in the band’s 41-year history without Malcolm Young. Unfortunately, due to the nature of Malcolm’s condition, he will not be returning to the band.
