Brian Johnson Returns to the Stage at Reading Festival



It's been about a year and a half since former AC/DC singer Brian Johnson was forced to retire from his iconic band due to problems with hearing loss. However, the capped screaming beast made his return to the big stage this past weekend to perform the AC/DC classic Back in Black with the modern alternative band Muse (which can be watched in the video above).

The crowd went insane with joy to see Johnson back where he belongs, or at least close to. Every last fan in that audience was singing along to every last lyric of the song and you can tell that there was an immense amount of positive energy just rippling through the venue. Johnson himself seemed to be completely thrilled. You could see it in his walk, his singing, and his overall attitude. He must have REALLY missed this.

I only hope that if some form of AC/DC is going to continue on into the future they can at least get Johnson back as lead vocalist of the band. I have LOVED Axl Rose fronting the band, but I think AC/DC needs Brian Johnson on the mic if they're going to have any real chance of keeping people coming out to the shows and buying anything new that they put out.
