After weeks of speculation on who would takeover drumming duties for Phil Rudd of AC/DC, Chris Slade has confirmed that he will join the band for its Grammy performance and Rock or Bust tour. Slade, who played with the band for a stretch in the 1990s, shared the news via Facebook. The band has yet to comment and there's no official word if Slade will be the permanent replacement. Rudd has a court date scheduled for April to deal with some legal issues, but he has stated that he wants his job back. -
Phil Rudd Court Date Pushed to April: Ex-AC/DC Drummer Chris Slade Rumored for Grammys
Phil Rudd's next court date, which was scheduled for the week following the Grammys, has been pushed back to April. According to Blabbermouth, the AC/DC drummer switched up his legal representation, which is why the review of the charges against him has been postponed. He was arrested in November on charges of threatening to kill and drug possession. A murder-for-hire charge was dropped. Former drummer Chris Slade has been rumored to step in for the percussionist this weekend at the awards ceremony. -
5 AC/DC Replacement Drummers for Phil Rudd: Jason Bonham, Steven Adler, Chris Cester and More
The unstoppable rock 'n' roll force that is AC/DC has been having a rough go at things lately. They unfortunately parted ways with founding member Malcolm Young, who served as the steady rhythm guitarist on 14 albums before leaving to receive treatment for dementia in September. Another crucial piece of the hard rock puzzle, drummer Phil Rudd, had to take a break in order to deal with some bizarre legal issues. Now with AC/DC riding high on the success of Rock or Bust, they will no doubt be looking for a replacement until either Rudd is cleared or locked up. Steven Adler, Jason Bonham and Chris Cester are all suitable substitutes.
