Rudd was ousted from AC/DC following his conviction last year for drug possession and making threats to kill a former employee. He was replaced on the band’s recent world tour by Chris Slade. Rudd previously said he would only rejoin AC/DC if Axl Rose was sacked. “If Angus (Young) wanted me to play then that’s up to him – but I don’t really want to play with Axl Rose. I don’t really rate him,” he said of the Guns N’Roses frontman. Rudd also revealed that he recently suffered a serious heart attack. “I had a heart attack, but I’m good now. I was just at home and I started to feel just funny. I had a strange pain in my chest.” he said. “My housekeeper took me to the hospital where they hooked me up and did all these tests. Turned out I had a big heart attack. My artery was all blocked up, and they said I had to stay in and have an operation.” In 2014, guitarist Malcolm Young left the band after being diagnosed with dementia. Frontman Brian Johnson was also recently replaced by Axl Rose on their recent world ‘Rock Or Bust’ world tour.
