AC/DC's Stevie Young hospitalized before PWR UP tour kickoff in Buenos Aires
AC/DC's rhythm guitarist Stevie Young has been taken to hospital in Buenos Aires just before the band's PWR UP tour. The musician fell ill shortly after arriving in Argentina for the upcoming shows. A spokesperson for the group has since confirmed he is recovering well.
Young was admitted for a full set of medical checks after reporting he felt unwell. The band's team moved quickly to ensure he received care before the tour's first performance. According to an official statement, the guitarist is now in good spirits and expected to play at Monday's concert.
The PWR UP tour takes its name from AC/DC's 2020 album, their 17th studio release. Fans have anticipated the return of classic tracks, including 'Jailbreak', though no details have emerged about audience reactions or standout moments from earlier shows.
Young's hospital stay comes as the band prepares to kick off their latest international tour. His recovery allows the schedule to proceed as planned, with the first show set for Monday. The PWR UP performances will continue across multiple cities in the coming weeks.
