Bound to happen when you hang around with Riff Raff.......you Overdose with a Shoot to Thrill, start Breaking the Rules, and then they Put the Finger on You.  Now he's probably singing Down Payment Blues and thinking of a Jailbreak.

His balls were evidently not big enough to do his own dirty deeds

I heard the intended victim was called Tom, and Phil had had his fill of him.

AC/DC Issue Statement on Phil Rudd’s Arrest
 
A day after AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd was arrested for attempting to hire someone to murder two people, the band has issued a statement on the matter. Although there is no definitive word on Rudd’s status with the band, their words hint that his time with the rock legends may be over.
 
The three-sentence statement was issued on their Facebook page. It reads, “We’ve only become aware of Phil’s arrest as the news was breaking. We have no further comment. Phil’s absence will not affect the release of our new album ‘Rock or Bust‘ and upcoming tour next year.”
 
Rudd was released on bail yesterday after offering no plea, but the use of the word “absence,” without a word like “possible” or “potential” before it, suggests that they are already making plans to carry on without him. There was also no expression of concern along the lines of, “Our thoughts are with him at this difficult time,” which is more-or-less standard in such statements.
 
Last month, rumors about Rudd’s departure from AC/DC were circulating after they released a new publicity photo for the upcoming record that omitted Rudd, and it was revealed that he had also missed a video shoot due to a “family emergency.”

Phil Rudd Is a ‘Good Fella,’ According to Man He Allegedly Approached to Kill Two People
 
According to the man who was allegedly approached by Phil Rudd to kill two people, the AC/DC drummer is a “good fella’ who’s “burning the ones who care about him.” (He used the expression “good fella” in the literal sense and not as reference to the 1990 mob movie ‘Goodfellas.’)
 
The Herald Sun reports that the alleged hitman was friends with Rudd, having met him in Tauranga, New Zealand, near where Rudd lives. He said that the drummer has had some problems.
The man told the Bay of Plenty Times Rudd would often let him drive his cars – the latest Ferrari and Lamborghini models – as well as going for trips in his helicopter or going out fishing. But when asked about murder plot allegations, the man replied: “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” The aging rocker had recently become irritable and burnt a lot of bridges.
The man, whose name hasn’t been identified per court orders, said that police contacted him yesterday to let him know that Rudd had been arrested, which caused him to reflect on his friend. “The joys of being a rock star, always in the spotlight,” he told the paper. “You’ve got to feel sorry for him – just the expectations everyone has of him. He’s a good fella. He’s got a big heart.”
 
Yesterday, Rudd was charged with attempting to hire a hitman to kill two men. He appeared in Tauranga District Court to face charges of attempting to procure a murder, possession of methamphetamine, possession of cannabis and threatening to kill.
 
Police raided Rudd’s home in Mauta, New Zealand, and was released on bail after offering no plea. He’s set to reappear in court in three weeks. If he’s found guilty, Rudd could face a maximum of 10 years in prison for procuring a murder and possibly another seven for threatening to kill. You can watch video of his court appearance here.
 
Rudd was absent from the shooting two videos for AC/DC’s upcoming album, ‘Rock or Bust,’ as well as from their new publicity photo.
