He was an incredible guitar player & the glue for the band onstage & off.
Van Halen called Saturday, the day AC/DC announced Youngs death, a sad day in rock and roll.
Malcolm Young was my friend and the heart and soul of AC/DC, he continued.
I had some of the best times of my life with him on our 1984 European tour.
He will be missed and my deepest condolences to his family, bandmates and friends.
With enormous dedication and commitment he was the driving force behind the band, a statement from AC/DC read.
As a guitarist, songwriter, and visionary he was a perfectionist and a unique man.
He always stuck to his guns and did and said exactly what he wanted.
Young and his brother, Angus, founded AC/DC in Australia in 1973.
Young laterannouncedhis departure from the band in 2014 due to health reasons that were later revealed to be dementia.
