AC/DC will be heading to London in October to film a music video for a new tune off their upcoming Rock or Bust album, and they want fans to be part of the shoot.
According to Blabbermouth, fans can visit the band's website and fill out a form for a chance to appear in the music video for a yet-to-be-determined track. The band also lent one song, "Play Ball," to Turning Broadcating for the company's coverage of Major League Baseball's Post-Season coverage. Stations will start playing the track this weekend (Sept. 27), but a preview of the song is available below.
Unfortunately, Rock or Bust, out Dec. 2, will be the band's first effort without founding member and rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young. "Unfortunately due to the nature of Malcolm's illness, he will not be rejoining the band," a recent statement by the group's record label read. In April, the band announced that the guitarist was ill, although details about the condition were never released. Stevie Young, the nephew of Malcolm and lead guitarist Angus Young, replaced his uncle on the new album and will also be touring with the band.
Over the summer, lead singer Brian Johnson was a little more optimistic about the guitarist's health improving. "We miss Malcolm obviously," Johnson told Metalhammer. "He's a fighter. He's in hospital but he's a fighter. We've got our fingers crossed that he'll get strong again."
Drummer Phil Rudd recently said that despite Malcolm's condition, the hard rock mainstay would solider on. "Angus Young will never retire," he said. "We were never going to retire. It'll never happen. Angus will never retire and as long as Angus never retires, I won't f--king retire either."
The band will also hit the road for a world tour to promote the album and celebrate their upcoming 40th anniversary.
