The Hives’ Pelle Almqvist has offered his services to AC/DC, via a post on his band’s Facebook Page.
With the Aussie rocker’s frontman Brian Johnson advised to stop touring immediately and retire due to the risk to his hearing, Almqvist is happy to step in.
“Very sad to hear Brian Johnson can´t do a bunch of AC/DC shows due to health problems,” Pelle writes. “That man is a legend. I would like offer my sincerest well wishes and get wells. and if any help is needed i put my foot forward and say: HERE I AM!”
“I have many many years of experience rocking the worlds biggest stages and according to others I am the greatest frontman in rock, plus judging from the reaction in Australia your crowd already seems to really like me. Plus, I have already been singing those songs since I was 6 years old. So AC/DC please consider my application! Feel free to spread the word fans!”
AC/DC have already suggested they intend to play their postponed tour dates later this year. You never know, Pelle may be in luck.
