One of AC/DCs founding members, Malcolm Young is celebrating his 62nd birthday today. Malcolm 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. Malcolm was 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 his brother Angus Young. Malcolm left AC/DC in April 2014 to receive treatment for dementia. In September 2014 the bands management announced that his departure would be permanent.
