Watch Brian Johnson Return To The Stage To Perform "Back In Black" With Muse

Emotions were running high when Brian Johnson announced in April 2016 that he was stepping down from singing with AC/DC due to serious hearing issues. Guitarist Angus Young said of Johnson's difficult decision, "It was out of our hands." Recently, Johnson made a surprise onstage cameo with Robert Plant and Paul Rodgers in May 2017, but for the most part, he has stayed outside the spotlight.

That was until after Muse's set at the 2017 Reading Festival where Johnson surprised everyone by belting out the timeless "Back in Black" as part of the band's encore performance.
