Malcolm Mitchell Young (6 January 1953) is a Scottish-born Australian guitarist best known as a founder, rhythm guitarist, backing vocalist and songwriter for the Australian hard rock band AC/DC. He was with the band from its November 1973 inception, barring a brief absence in 1988, until leaving permanently in 2014 due to health reasons. Young and the other members of AC/DC were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003. Though his younger brother Angus (born 31 March 1955) is the more visible of the brothers, Young has been described[who?] as the businessman behind AC/DC. As the rhythm guitarist, he was responsible for the broad sweep of the bands sound, developing many of their guitar riffs and co-writing the bands material with Angus Young. He is married to Linda Young and has two children, Cara and Ross. Young left AC/DC in April 2014 to receive treatment for dementia. In September 2014 the bands management announced that his departure would be permanent. youtu.be/THDZMWtubVc
