Iconic rock band AC/DC is grieving the loss of their original drummer, Colin Burgess, who passed away at the age of 77

During his time with AC/DC, Burgess joined the ranks of the band's founding members, including sibling guitarists Angus and Malcolm Young, singer Dave Evans, and bassist Larry Van Kriedt. He made his debut with AC/DC at Sydney's Chequers nightclub, marking the beginning of his journey with the legendary rock group.


However, Burgess's tenure with AC/DC was relatively short-lived. He departed from the band in 1974, shortly after the release of their first hit single, "Can I Sit Next to You Girl." His departure was attributed to an incident during a live performance where he was accused of being intoxicated on stage.


In an attempt to salvage his position in the band, Burgess claimed that his drink had been spiked, but regrettably, his efforts were in vain. Despite this, his brief time with AC/DC left a real mark on the band's early history.

Before joining AC/DC, Burgess had established himself as a talented drummer by performing with the Australian rock band The Masters Apprentices from 1968 to 1972. The band's significant contributions to the music scene earned them a well-deserved induction into Australia's ARIA Hall of Fame in 1988
