Lead guitarist Angus Young is the only remaining original member of AC/DC after his brother, rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young, died in 2017. (Malcolm left the band for health reasons in 2014.) The late AC/DC lead vocalist Bon Scott, who died in 1980, succeeded the band’s founding singer, Dale Evans, who departed the group in 1974. Original bassist Larry Van Kriedt and original drummer Colin Burgess also left early on.
