Chris Slade Retires After AC/DC Legacy | Music News
Description
Drummer Chris Slade, the legendary heartbeat behind AC/DC’s thunderous hits like “Thunderstruck,” is retiring at age 80 — marking the end of an era for rock. He first joined AC/DC in 1989 and returned for live shows between 2015–2016, leaving an indelible mark on the band’s sound. Before and after his AC/DC runs, he toured with Tom Jones and Manfred Mann, building a decades-long career that began at just 16. In a touching farewell video, Slade thanked fans and his own band, The Chris Slade Timeline, while promising to keep their Facebook page alive with updates. As AC/DC tours North America with Matt Laug on drums, Slade’s legacy — forged through generations of electrifying beats — lives on, forever echoing in the anthems he helped create.
