BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Stevie Young, guitarist for Australian rock band AC/DC, was hospitalized following a recent concert in South America, a band spokesperson said.
“Out of an abundance of caution, he was admitted to a local [Buenos Aires] hospital where he is undergoing a full battery of tests,” the spokesperson said, according to Reuters. “Stevie is doing well and is in good spirits. He is looking forward to getting onstage on Monday.”
Young, 69, joined AC/DC in 2014 after his uncle, co-founder Malcolm Young, was diagnosed with dementia. He previously substituted for Malcolm Young during the band’s 1988 U.S. tour and played on the 2014 album “Rock or Bust.” He was officially named a band member later that year. Malcolm Young died in 2017.
Stevie Young has performed on the band’s Rock or Bust World Tour in 2015 and 2016, and is currently touring on the Power Up Tour, which began in 2024 and is scheduled to continue through this year.
AC/DC recently performed in Santiago, Chile, and is scheduled for three shows in Buenos Aires, Argentina, beginning March 23. The group last played Buenos Aires in 2009.
