From Loudwire: ====================================================================== Absolutely shocking news coming out of New Zealand, where AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd is being charged with attempting to procure a murder.
According to a report by Stuff.co.nz, the 60-year-old rock drummer’s home in New Zealand was raided Thursday morning (Nov. 6), and he has also been charged with possession of meth and cannabis, as well as ‘threatening to kill.’
Rudd is scheduled to appear in Tauranga District Court in New Zealand on Thursday afternoon. No other details about the case are known at this time. According to Wikipedia, procuring a crime means to “command another to commit a crime, whether that person commits the crime.”
It’s not known whether this shocking development is the reason why Rudd was not present at the recent video shoot for two songs off AC/DC’s upcoming ‘Rock or Bust’ album. He also didn’t appear in the band’s most recent promotional photo.
Stay tuned to Loudwire as more details from this startling story emerge.
