The band says Young is not returning to the band after he announced he was taking a break from the group to focus on his health in April. A Wednesday statement from the band’s label said: “Unfortunately, due to the nature of Malcolm's condition, he will not be returning to the band.” AC/DC will release the album “Rock or Bust” on Dec. 2.
