Current and former members of AC/DC gathered Tuesday at St. Mary's Cathedral in Sydney, Australia to bid farewell to the band's founder Malcolm Young, who died on November 18th from complications associated with Dementia. He was 64.
Among those on hand were his brother Angus along with former members Brian Johnson, Phil Rudd, Cliff Williams and Mark Evans. All those in attendance were given a guitar pick inscribed with Mal's date of birth and death, along with a program.
Following the private mass, a procession of bag pipes led the Scottish-born guitarist's casket out of the church playing a medley of songs, including AC/DC's "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock n' Roll)," "Waltzing Matilda" and "Road To Gundagai." Angus then placed one of Malcolm's guitars (in its case) in the hearse.
Malcolm retired from AC/DC in 2014 because of Dementia.
