Sigh...I can`t help but think "cautionary tale" It`s not just, uhm..."the naughty drugs".. that can ruin lives...Bon, Malcom...sigh, alcohol has sure taken its toll on AC/DC.

Haven’t heard where they had attributed alcohol to be the cause of his dimentia. Have I missed something?

It has been a rough couple of years for classic rockers. RIP Malcom, must be a hell of a jam session in heaven.

Besides the general trend for heavy drinkers, when he had to quit touring the articles I read blamed the dementia on his alcohol use. Dunno if it was just an easy target or a genuinely attributable situation, but that`s what they were saying. Seemed reasonable to me as early-60s is *awfully* young for something like that.
