According to Reuters, AC/DC guitarist Stevie Young has been hospitalized in Buenos Aires, ahead of the band’s concerts in Argentina’s capital next week.

On Thursday, March 19, a spokesperson for AC/DC released the following statement to Reuters: “Out of an abundance of caution, Stevie was admitted to a local hospital where he is undergoing a full battery of tests. Stevie is doing well and is in good spirits. He is looking forward to getting on stage on Monday.”

AC/DC is scheduled to perform in Buenos Aires on March 23, March 27 and March 31 as part of the South American leg of the band’s “Power Up” tour.

The 69-year-old Stevie Young is the nephew of AC/DC founders Malcolm and Angus Young.

Back in 2014, Angus said that Stevie was the only logical choice to replace Malcolm when the latter retired from the band that year due to the onset of dementia. AC/DC released their last album “Power Up” in November 2020, under Columbia Records.
