Yeah, eDog asked me if I wanted to see them a few years ago and I was like "AW, HELL YEAH!", then he told me cheap tickets were $95 and I was like "AW, HELL NO!".

Very sad indeed. Angus is the heart of AC/DC, but Malcolm was the brain.
At age 62, it is highly doubtful this is Alzheimer's (unless it's early onset Alzheimer's, which would require a very strong genetic link). Hate to say that years of alcohol abuse certainly could have played a role in it, or perhaps it was something else - either way - very sad, and probably something we'll see more & more of as our rock 'n' roll heroes get older.

why couldn't it be alzhemier's? ozzy and bill ward are still alive and semi lucid after years of drug and alcohol abuse, among many others. old drunks tend to keep their memories from everything i have read or experienced.

You’re an old drunk?

Yes. My mother started experiencing signs of dementia in her early 60s. The first diagnosis was Alzheimer's, but the more I learned, the less the diagnosis made any sense. She wasn't anywhere near the age when people typically get it, and our family has no history of it, so early-onset was equally unlikely.
Also, her patterns of behavior didn't quite match the typical Alzheimer's patient.
Eventually, it was revealed that she had a stroke and an MRI revealed it was from hydrocephalus (a/k/a "water on the brain") - which is the same type of dementia that Dick Wagner had.
The difference is that, in Wagner's case, the cause was caught very early and they were able to treat it.
By the time they caught it in my mother, her brain had deformed past the point of return. They did some things which did improve certain things, but cognitively, my mother is in the state of being like a perpetual 2-year-old retarded child. There are no moments of clarity ever. She knows who we are, but she is incapable of anything but the simplest of all conversations. "How are you?" "Good." That's about it.
