George Young, a shepherding force for AC/DC, has died at the age of 70. He played bass with the band early on, and produced several of his younger siblings’ most successful releases, including High Voltage, T.N.T., Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Let There Be Rock, and Powerage.
“Without his help and guidance, there would not have been an AC/DC,” the band acknowledged in an overnight statement. “As a musician, songwriter, producer, advisor and much, much more, you could not ask for a more dedicated and professional man.”
