Back In Black! AC/DC Frontman Brian Johnson of Says Tour Is Likely Despite Poor Health of Malcolm Young [VIDEO]

It may be time to dust off that schoolboy uniform and love of dirty puns, because AC/DC is back. Frontman Brian Johnson has said that an AC/DC tour is likely before the end of the year. 

Brian Johnson let the information out when on his car racing website. The post reads, "Hello everyone, i just wanted to thank everyone for their kind words about Cars That Rock. Your encouragement means a lot to me. This was my first ever go at presenting a TV series and even though it may not show, i was real nervous and so am very relieved that you all seem to be enjoying it. We hope to bring you more shows in the near future but, of course, there is the slight distraction of my day job with AC/DC - and it looks very likely that we will be on the road again before the end of the year. So stand by for more music - and more Cars That Rock. thanks - Brian"

The group haven't played live since the end of their Black Ice tour in 2010, which was the fourth biggest-grossing concert tour of all time, making around £258m.

In April the band announced that band member Malcolm Young was taking a break due to illness, his nephew Stevie will be covering for him in upcoming shows.

Earlier this year Johnson said, "We'll have to go out, even though we're getting a bit long in the tooth," he said. "You know what?! It's been four years [since we last went out on the road], and I'm really looking forward to it."

Despite being an old band, with a large collection of staples, the bands has said they aren't done making new music. Earlier this year the band announced that it was moving forward with a new album.

There are not dates scheduled yet, but until then, get pumped up watching this concert video of "Back in Black"
