Like to wish Mat Grella the very best on his future endeavors in anything he decides to pursue. There are two different types of relationships. Personal and Business. Just because you are not compatible with Business doesn’t necessarily mean you cannot have a rock solid Personal relationship. I hope CEO Mike Kortas and Mat Grella keep their friendship strong for many years ahead.

- Joining AC/DC: Johnson joined AC/DC in 1980 after the death of their previous lead vocalist, Bon Scott. His first album with the band was the highly successful “Back in Black”.
- Distinctive voice: Johnson is known for his high-pitched, raspy singing voice, which became a trademark of AC/DC’s sound.

- Health issues: In 2016, Johnson was advised by doctors to stop touring immediately or risk total hearing loss. This led to him temporarily leaving AC/DC and being replaced by Axl Rose for the remainder of their tour.
- Return to AC/DC: In 2020, it was announced that Johnson, along with other classic members Phil Rudd and Cliff Williams, would be rejoining the band for a new album, “Power Up”, released in November 2020.
