AC/DC have postponed their US tour dates after frontman Brian Johnson was forced to "stop touring immediately" due to severe hearing problems.

The band were due to play in Atlanta, Georgia tonight (8 March) to continue their Rock Or Bust world tour. Unfortunately, it seems like - for now - they've been forced to choose the Bust option.

A statement on the band's website reads, "AC/DC are forced to reschedule the 10 upcoming dates on the U.S. leg of their 'Rock or Bust' World Tour. AC/DC’s lead singer, Brian Johnson, has been advised by doctors to stop touring immediately or risk total hearing loss."

This is just the latest setback for AC/DC. Back in 2014, founding member Malcolm Young retired after being diagnosed with dementia.

AC/DC are yet to announce what will happen to their two forthcoming UK dates, so for now, we can assume they're still happening. See the dates below. Get tickets and more information here.

Sat June 04 2016 - LONDON Olympic Stadium
Thu June 09 2016 - MANCHESTER Etihad Stadium
