RIP Thread

Nemo, who was writing the new webcomics for Urban Rivals died of cancer. So in thanks for his work, the game is going to make a card based off of him in December which will give the proceeds (from the special pack it comes in) to a cancer control center.

Legendary Australian guitarist and AC/DC co-founder Malcolm Young has died aged 64.

Known for the powerhouse riffs and rhythm guitar that propelled the Sydney group to superstardom, Young had been suffering from dementia for the past three years.

He was replaced by nephew Stevie for the band's last tour promoting the 2014 album Rock Or Bust.

He died peacefully on Saturday with his family by his bedside, a statement said.

"Renowned for his musical prowess, Malcolm was a songwriter, guitarist, performer, producer and visionary who inspired many," the statement read.

"From the outset, he knew what he wanted to achieve and, along with his younger brother, took to the world stage giving their all at every show. Nothing less would do for their fans."

He is survived by his wife O'Linda and two children.

He was 64 and suffered from dementia. I had heard he no longer remembered being in the band. He retired in 2015. At that point he was forgetting the songs. Elder Young brother George died last month at 70.
