AC\/DC<\/a> lead singer Brian Johnson\u2019s travel series Life on the Road<\/em>, which aired in the United Kingdom and Ireland in 2017, is coming to America\u2019s AXS TV in September. The show features Johnson traveling all across the globe to interview rock stars like Roger Daltrey, Robert Plant, Sting, Billy Joel, Nick Mason and many others about their formative years, their music and their ongoing passions. \u201cTo sit and chat with my friends and heroes while filming \u2018On The Road\u2019 was ridiculous fun,\u201d Johnson said in a statement, \u201cand with no professional journalists around, you can feel the trust.\u201d<\/p>\n

Episodes include Lars Ulrich taking Johnson on a tour of Metallica\u2019s San Fransisco\u2019s headquarters, Robert Plant walking him around a ruined castle in North Wales and discussing the early days of Led Zeppelin and Joe Elliot taking him to a Dublin pub to share stories about Def Leppard\u2019s long career. In this clip, Sting takes looks back at the Police\u2019s first American tour and takes him to the former site of CBGB in New York, where they played their inaugural U.S show in October 1978. \u201cI remember every little club we played all over the Northeast of America,\u201d Sting said. \u201cAnd I\u2019m glad I did. I\u2019m so grateful. It builds backbone. It builds some kind of psychological armor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson hasn\u2019t played with AC\/DC since he abruptly left their Rock or Bust<\/em> tour in February 2016 due to hearing loss. The group finished the tour with Axl Rose and the future of the group seemed quite uncertain, especially when bassist Cliff Williams announced his retirement at the end of the tour. That left Angus Young as the last remaining member of the classic Back in Black<\/em> lineup, but last year photographs began circulating that showed Johnson, Young, Williams and Back in Black<\/em>-era drummer Phil Rudd near Vancouver\u2019s Warehouse Studio, where they recorded their last three albums. There\u2019s been no official word on the state of the band, but there are widespread rumors that they are cutting a new album and booking a tour.<\/p>\n
