In an unexpected twist that has fans buzzing worldwide, renowned blues-rock artist Beth Hart has officially announced that she will be joining iconic rock band AC/DC as their new lead singer. This announcement comes after weeks of speculation and rumors about the band’s search for a new frontperson.
Hart, known for her powerhouse vocals and electrifying stage presence, shared the news in a press release earlier today. “I’m beyond thrilled to join AC/DC and be a part of rock history,” Hart said. “AC/DC has been a huge influence on my music, and I’m excited to bring my own energy and passion to their legendary sound.”
The move follows a period of uncertainty for AC/DC, who have been without a permanent lead singer since the departure of Brian Johnson in 2016. Johnson’s departure was due to hearing issues, and the band had since relied on a series of guest vocalists for their live performances. Hart’s appointment marks a new chapter for the band, as they prepare to embark on a highly anticipated world tour.
AC/DC’s founding members, Angus and Malcolm Young, expressed their enthusiasm about the new lineup. “Beth Hart is a remarkable talent with an incredible voice,” Angus Young said. “We’re excited to see what she brings to the band and how she’ll help us continue to create the high-voltage rock we’re known for.”
Fans and industry insiders are eagerly awaiting Hart’s debut with AC/DC, which is expected to include a blend of classic hits and new material. The band will be hitting the road later this year, with tour dates and album details set to be announced soon.
Beth Hart’s collaboration with AC/DC is seen as a bold and exhilarating move, bridging the gap between blues-rock and classic rock, and promising a dynamic new sound for the legendary band. Stay tuned for more updates as this exciting story develops.
