So very sad to see this. An unworthy but sadly necessary bowing out for one of the most epic riff generating beings in the universe. So long and good luck Mal xx

Yes, very sad for him and his family as well as those of us who wallowed in his filthy riffs.
In the 80's Malcolm played a huge white guitar (the six-stringers around here will know what it was) and it looked like he had a double bass strapped around him.
I hope Stevie Young can step up, but it will never be quite the same again.

The human metronome deserved better than this.
I wish the best for Malcolm and his family.

I believe Stevie Young deputised for Malcolm on a tour in the 80's when Mal was a bit too 'tired and emotional' to play.
Can't imagine just how weird it will feel to Angus and the others though.

Think it was a Gretsch and yes, he looked like he was hiding behind it.
