Earlier in the year AC/DC bassist Cliff Williams revealed his plans to retire from the band. With one final show scheduled for tonight, September 20th, at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA, he plans to ride off into the sunset. He put out the following video speaking of his decision to exit the band:
“It’s time for me to step out, and that’s all. Not because we’ve lost Mal, Phil or Brian. I mean, everything changes when something happens like that. When Bon died, it changed then. You know, everything changes, so it’s not that. It’s just… I’m just ready to get off the road, really, and do what I do.”
In between tours, we take a few years off, so I know how to do that, I know what I’m gonna do. Again, it’s just my time. I’m happy. I just need to… Family time now, just chill out and not do this.
I mean, I couldn’t have asked for anything more, being with the people I’m with and have been, and being in this situation with this band, playing this music.”
