AC\/DC guitarist Stevie Young has been hospitalized in Buenos Aires ahead of the band\u2019s scheduled concerts in Argentina\u2019s capital next week.\u00a0Reuters\u00a0reported the news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Young\u2019s spokesperson provided an update on his condition and addressed concerns about the upcoming performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOut of an abundance of caution, he was admitted to a local hospital where he is undergoing a full battery of tests,\u201d the spokesperson said. \u201cStevie is doing well and is in good spirits. He is looking forward to getting on stage on Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hospitalization follows a recent concert performance. It comes at a critical time for the legendary rock band\u2019s South American tour leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ultimate Classic Rock\u00a0confirmed that Young was admitted for precautionary tests following the band\u2019s recent show. No specific details about his diagnosis or recovery timeline have been disclosed. The guitarist has been a crucial member of AC\/DC since 2014, when he stepped in to replace his uncle Malcolm Young due to the latter\u2019s battle with dementia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Young\u2019s hospitalization comes at a particularly significant time as AC\/DC\u2019s Power Up Tour 2026 continues with multiple high-profile shows scheduled in Buenos Aires at Estadio River Plate on March 23, 27, and 31. The band has not yet issued official statements regarding potential changes to these upcoming concerts or whether Young will be able to perform as planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AC\/DC\u2019s extensive tour schedule includes shows across Mexico and North America following the Buenos Aires dates. The tour is set to continue with performances in Mexico City on April 7, 11, and 15, before moving to major U.S. venues including Charlotte\u2019s Bank of America Stadium on July 11 and Columbus\u2019s Ohio Stadium on July 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The band\u2019s current tour represents a significant milestone for AC\/DC, marking their continued success decades after their formation. Young\u2019s role as guitarist has been instrumental in maintaining the band\u2019s signature sound. This makes his health status a matter of considerable concern for both the band and their global fanbase. Despite the hospitalization, the spokesperson\u2019s optimistic tone suggests that the upcoming Buenos Aires shows may proceed as scheduled. Fans await further updates on Young\u2019s condition and the tour\u2019s continuation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AC\/DC guitarist Stevie Young has been hospitalized in Buenos Aires ahead of the band\u2019s scheduled concerts in Argentina\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":20591,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-20590","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-musician"},"yoast_head":"\n
