The tailspin AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd put himself in at the end of last year raised the prospect that he would be booted from the band. With an appearance at the Grammys by the hard Rockin' Aussies close at hand, there is word circulating that the band will replace Rudd with Chris Slade, the stickman that drummed with AC/DC for four years when Rudd was out of the group in the early 1990's. Slade had been scheduled for a publicity gig in California this weekend that has now been cancelled. The owner of the business staging that event posted on its Facebook page that the event will have to be rescheduled because, 'There's actually big news regarding Slade an his career coming in several days'.
