Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose will replace AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson for the remainder of their latest Rock Or Bust stadium tour.

Brian Johnson was told to stop performing live or risk total hearing loss, said The Hollywood Reporter.

"AC/DC band members would like to thank Brian Johnson for his contributions and dedication to the band throughout the years. We wish him all the best with his hearing issues and future ventures.

"As much as we want this tour to end as it started, we understand, respect and support Brian's decision to stop touring and save his hearing. We are dedicated to fulfilling the remainder of our touring commitments to everyone that has supported us over the years, and are fortunate that Axl Rose has kindly offered his support to help us fulfill this commitment," the band wrote in a statement.
 

AC/DC's Rock Or Bust stadium tour resumes May 7 in Lisbon, Portugal and runs through June 12. Following the European run, Rose will head out on his Guns N' Roses 'Not In This Lifetime' summer stadium tour.
