AC/DC guitarist Stevie Young has been hospitalised in Buenos Aires after feeling unwell, just days before the band's scheduled sold-out concerts in the city. The 69-year-old musician, nephew of late founder Malcolm Young, is undergoing medical tests but is said to be in good spirits and expected to perform.
The event's promoter confirmed that Young was admitted to a local hospital as a precaution. 'Stevie is doing well and in good spirits. He is eagerly looking forward to getting on stage on Monday,' a spokesperson said. The cause of his condition has not been specified.
AC/DC are set to play three sold-out shows at Buenos Aires' Monumental Stadium, which holds up to 85,000 fans, on 23, 27, and 31 March. The first date sold out quickly, prompting the addition of two extra concerts. The band last performed in Argentina in 2009, drawing nearly 200,000 fans.
Young has been the band's rhythm guitarist since 2014, when his uncle Malcolm stepped down due to health issues. The Power Up world tour, named after AC/DC's 2020 album released in tribute to Malcolm, continues with a performance in Mexico City in early April.
