Doctors advise AC/DC's Brian Johnson to stop touring

I honestly think this damage has been occurring for him since his first tour. I have mellowed in my negative opinions of singers that aren't technically great but Brian always had this straining sound that bothered me.

Hey, if Cinderella's singer can get his vocals fixed and learn how to properly support his voice, perhaps there is hope Brian can get through this.

What does that have to do with hearing loss?
 
I saw AC/DC a couple of weeks ago in Dallas. I have listened to their music my whole life but never seen them live. I knew this could be the last chance to do it so the wife and I bought tickets and made the 8 hour drive to the concert. It was a great concert and just what you would expect from AC/DC. It was evident that they were drowning the vocals a bit but that is too be expected. Angus is still all over the stage non-stop and even closed out the main performance with an impressive 15 minute guitar solo. It was well worth the drive.
