AC/DC will push back the release of their follow-up to 2008's Black Ice due to the illness of one band member.
During a recent radio interview singer Brian Johnson wouldn't confirm who was ill, or the nature of the illness, but did say that it was nothing serious.
"One of the boys is a little sick and I can't say anything, but he's getting better. He's doing wonderful. Full recovery fully expected," Johnson revealed.
He went on to explain that even after all these years the band still gets a rush from playing music together:
"It's a wonderful thing when we get in a room. Whenever the boys get back together, I get all excited. The boys, after a while, pick the guitars up, Phil [Rudd] will make his way to the drums, Cliff [Williams] will pull his bass out and then all of a sudden this noise comes out and I sit there with just this big old grin on my face."
