The likeable rocker and car racing enthusiast told American radio station Sirius XM he noticed reduced hearing in his left ear after he forgot to put in earplugs at a New York race eight years ago.The roar of the engines caused a pop in his ear which led to a bout of tinnitus which cleared up several months later.
He continued to record and perform with AC/DC but Johnson suffered a major setback four months into the Rock or Bust world tour when their Winnipeg concert in September was thunderstruck. Both he and guitarist Angus Young caught bad colds from the rainstorm which plagued the outdoor gig and immediately caught a flight to their next concert in Vancouver.
