AC\/DC band-mates Angus Young and Brian Johnson have joked about Phil Rudd\u2019s recent run-in with the law with US radio host Howard Stern.<\/p>\n

Young said he fell out of bed when he heard the AC\/DC drummer had been charged with hiring a hit man.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy wife woke me up and said \u2018Phil\u2019s been up to no good\u2019\u201d, Young told Howard Stern. <\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone said \u2018Who was he trying to hit. It was his drug dealer\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson said he was getting ready to fly home to the States and had a cup of coffee in his hand when he saw the news on TV.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was this guy getting led out of a car with no shoes on looking like he was fucking drugged and his head was on backwards,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n

Police in New Zealand had initially accused Rudd of trying to arrange a hit man to carry out two killings and charged him with attempting to procure murder. That charge has since been dropped.<\/p>\n

Rudd, who has been with the band on and off for nearly three decades, is expected to appear in court on November 27 on charges of threatening to kill and possessing methamphetamine and marijuana.<\/p>\n

Stern asked if Rudd was a still a member of AC\/DC.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got to resolve that,\u201d Young said.<\/p>\n

Johnson suggested Rudd would not be back in the band.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think we need to do any firing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe situation will take care of itself. He has gotten himself into a pickle. There is nothing we can do about it. We are talking about criminal charges here. We are talking about judges, we are talking about juries. We are going to go on tour. Nothing is going to stop us.\u201d<\/p>\n

One thing is for sure, AC\/DC will not break up because of Rudd.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the past we have had good drummers who have worked with us,\u201d Young said.<\/p>\n
